Pure Ceylon Liquid Tea Concentrates & Industrial Extracts
High-strength liquid black and green tea extracts made for drink bottling, food service syrups, dairy ice creams, and wellness products worldwide.
The complete industrial guide for Ceylon liquid tea concentrates—crafted from single-origin leaves to provide high clarity, stable caffeine, and authentic aroma for bottled RTDs, fountain sodas, and dairy.
Industrial Liquid Extraction & Formulations Standard
20° to 65° Brix Standardized Extract Concentrates
As the global Ready-to-Drink (RTD) iced tea, functional beverage, and boba milk tea markets undergo rapid expansion, beverage brand owners and contract packaging facilities face increasing pressure to streamline processing logistics. Traditional loose-leaf brewing on factory floors requires extensive thermal extraction kettles, precise water filtration systems, and costly spent tea leaf waste management systems.
Pure Ceylon Liquid Tea Concentrates solve these operational bottlenecks by delivering fully extracted, clarified, and pasteurized liquid tea bases derived 100% from authentic Sri Lankan high-grown, medium-grown, and low-grown traditional teas. Processed under stringent HACCP, ISO 22000, and FSSC 22000 conditions in Sri Lanka, these extracts preserve the natural aroma, vibrant coppery liquor color, and distinct polyphenol profile that define Ceylon tea.
Standardized Industrial Extract Grades
| Extract Grade | Brix Scale | Target Application | Color & Clarity Profile | Primary Terroir Base |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Clarity-Max RTD Black Extract | 30° - 40° Brix | Bottled & canned RTD iced teas, sparkling teas | Crystal clear, non-clouding cold stability at 4°C | Dimbula & Nuwara Eliya High Growns |
| Rich-Malt Boba Milk Tea Base | 50° - 65° Brix | Milk teas, chai concentrates, food service syrups | Deep mahogany-copper, high tannic body | Ruhuna & Sabaragamuwa Low Growns |
| Ceylon Green Antioxidant Liquid | 20° - 35° Brix | Kombucha starter, functional wellness shots | Bright jade-gold, fresh vegetal aroma | Uva & Nuwara Eliya High Grown Green Teas |
| High-Polyphenol Cosmetic Liquid | 45° - 60° Brix | Anti-aging serums, topical soaps, bath additives | Standardized EGCG & Catechin density (>35%) | Organic Certified Uva High-Grown Leaf |
The 5-Stage Aseptic Liquid Extraction Process
Counter-Current Hot Water Extraction
Whole traditional tea leaf grades are continuously extracted using demineralized reverse-osmosis (RO) water at controlled temperatures (85°C - 92°C) to capture all top-note aromatic volatiles without scalding the polyphenols.
Enzymatic Cold-De-Creaming Filtration
Natural tannic polyphenol-caffeine complexes (tea cream) that typically precipitate and cause cloudiness when chilled are enzymatically treated or micro-centrifuged to yield 100% cold-clarified liquid stability.
Low-Temperature Vacuum Evaporation
Water content is gently evaporated under high vacuum at low temperatures (45°C) to concentrate the liquid up to 65° Brix while preserving volatile essential oils, esters, and delicate taste compounds.
