Extract
Tea extract is a concentrated liquid or soluble solids product capturing Camellia sinensis flavour and colour for beverages, ice cream, baking, and ready-to-drink formulas. It is stronger and more stable than fresh brew, sometimes standardised for caffeine or polyphenols. Cooks and manufacturers use extract when volume, consistency, or cold solubility matter more than the nuance of a single steep. Dose carefully—extracts can taste flat or medicinal if overused. Prefer named origin extracts for fine desserts; generic “tea flavour” is closer to aroma chemistry than leaf character. Not a substitute for whole-leaf service tea when ceremony and mouthfeel are the point.
