It is marked on the bottle that the tea extract is chemical synthesis.

If bottled tea is used to extract tea soup, the product label can be marked with either tea or tea extract, while it must be clearly marked if the tea extract made by other manufacturers is directly used.

Even if hand drinks are everywhere, bottled tea is still irreplaceable! In hot weather, when we go to the convenience store to buy bottled tea to relieve the fever, or when we go shopping with our family, we always get used to buying a dozen bottled tea to go home. Even when we go to eat hot stir-fry with friends, it is still bottled tea that relieves our tiredness and thirst. Of course, the most important ingredient in bottled tea is tea, but if you have read the ingredients carefully, you may wonder why some products are written with tea or tea, while others with tea powder or tea extract. What are the differences between them?

First of all, according to Li Wanshu, head of the Food Section of the Food and Drug Administration, if manufacturers use the raw material "tea" in the process of production and processing, and then extract high concentrations of tea according to various extraction techniques, then the composition of the end product should be marked with tea, tea, tea extract or tea extract. However, there are also tea extracts that have been extracted on the market for use by those who do not have extraction equipment, or for them to fine-tune the taste of tea drinks, so if they use such raw materials, tea extract or tea extract must be clearly marked on the composition label.

As for the tea powder, it may come from two ways: one is to extract, concentrate and then dry the tea into a powder, which is mostly made of instant tea powder on the market; the other is to grind the tea directly into powder, which is commonly known as ground tea powder, which is mostly used in orthodox Japanese matcha. The addition of tea powder to bottled tea can mainly increase the thick sense of tea flavor, and the use is also used to fine-tune the taste of the end product.

Since food processing is a more difficult industry for ordinary consumers to contact and understand, when they see the label of food ingredients, some consumers will feel frightened because they do not understand it, or when they see the word "extract". It is considered to be a chemical synthetic substance, but in fact, regardless of the labeling of tea or tea extract, it actually refers to the extraction of tea, that is, the product after brewing. It's not chemically synthesized. As for tea powder, it only accounts for a very small number of ingredients in bottled tea, and it is also made from tea leaves, not chemically synthesized, so the next time you buy bottled tea, don't worry about the ingredients.
