Green Tea Extract (Camellia sinensis)
Hydroalcoholic extract from the leaves of the tea plant. Made in a specialised laboratory in Italy with a 1:1 extraction ratio.
What is green tea extract
An extract obtained from the leaves of the tea plant (Camellia sinensis L.), the same plant from which green, black, white and oolong tea are produced. The extraction uses a hydroalcoholic method at a 1:1 ratio, preserving the full active compound profile of the leaves.
Made in a specialised laboratory in Italy. Alcohol content: 30% vol. Contains natural caffeine.
The plant: Tea Plant (Camellia sinensis)
Camellia sinensis is an evergreen shrub from the Theaceae family, native to East Asia (China and India). In the wild, it can reach up to 9 metres, but is regularly pruned in plantations to make harvesting the young leaves easier. The leaves are glossy, dark green, with serrated edges.
The difference between green, black, white and oolong tea lies not in the plant variety, but in how the leaves are processed. Green tea undergoes minimal processing – the leaves are quickly dried after harvesting to prevent oxidation, thus retaining their natural green colour. The name sinensis means "from China" in Latin, recalling the plant's origins.
The young leaves are harvested several times a year. The finest quality comes from the first spring harvest.
How to use
Dosage: 5-10 drops in a glass of water or tea, twice daily, preferably in the morning or early afternoon.
Tip: Shake well before use. Regular use is recommended for best results. Avoid taking in the evening due to the natural caffeine content.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

The scientific name sinensis means "from China" in Latin. The tea plant originates from China, where it has been cultivated and consumed for thousands of years.
