Description
Supply Chain & Raw Material Excellence
We begin with the cultivation of premium black tea plants on our expansive 60,000 mu plantation base, situated in an environmentally protected, pollution-free region. This vertical integration—from planting to harvest to processing—gives us full control over raw material quality, seasonal variability and traceability. Our operations are certified under ISO 9001 (quality management system) and FSSC 22000 (food safety system), while our product is certified by FDA (for export food ingredients), carries organic certification, kosher (Jewish dietary laws) and halal (Muslim dietary laws) certifications. This means you can confidently source from us for global markets with strict regulatory demands.

Extraction, Processing & Product Form
Using black tea leaves as the raw starting material, we apply a well-controlled extraction process: first extract the pigment bearing components, then concentrate, and finally convert into a spray-dried powder form. The resultant product is a fine brown powder, water-soluble, with no soluble fraction in oil or ethanol. Because of its neutral aroma and taste, it is ideal for applications where flavour neutrality is critical. The powder form offers excellent ease of use in manufacturing lines (blending, dosing, dispersing).
Technical Features & Formulation Benefits
1.Natural source: derived from tea leaves, aligning with the increasing global consumer demand for “plant-based”, “clean label” and “non-artificial” ingredients. For example, major natural-colour companies emphasise that brown colours derived from fruits/vegetables communicate richness and naturalness.
2.Strong colouring power: only a small addition is required to achieve a deep brown hue, helping minimize dosage and cost in formulation.
3.Neutral flavour/odor: designed to avoid imparting off-flavours or aromas into final products (critical for food & beverage, nutrition and cosmetic applications).
4.Water-soluble: perfectly suited for aqueous systems (ice-cream mixes, drinks, dairy, functional beverages). Note: for oil-based systems, formulation adjustments may be required.
5.Versatility in applications: Suitable for wide product categories — frozen desserts, confectionery, sugar-free foods, meat & fish cans, dairy, nutritional supplements, cosmetics etc.
6.Regulatory and certification support: The comprehensive suite of certifications supports your export into stringent markets (US, EU, Middle East, Asia) and simplifies compliance when integrating into your manufacturing lines.
Application Scope & Typical Use Cases
1.Dairy & Frozen Desserts: Use in ice-cream, yogurt, dairy desserts to impart a warm brown tone (chocolate alternative, caramel look) without flavour interference.
2.Confectionery & Sugar-Free Products: Ideal for use in candies, sugar-free lozenges, coating colours, tablet colours and functional snack foods.
3.Meat & Fish Processing: In processed fish cans, meat cans, snacks where a natural brown hue enhances visual appeal and perceived quality.
4.Cosmetics & Personal Care: Suitable as a pigment in decorative cosmetics (lip gloss, blush), hair care (toners, treatment colour), hair extensions accessories, as well as in functional skincare formulations. Its natural provenance adds marketing appeal for “clean beauty” lines.
5.Pharmaceutical & Health Supplements: As a colouring agent for tablet coatings, capsules, sugar-free nutraceutical confectioneries, where synthetic colours are to be avoided.
6.Functional Beverages and Nutrition Bars: Use in plant-based milk beverages, protein bars, snack bars, where a warm brown tint gives product a premium, natural appearance.
Why It Matters for B2B Manufacturers & Wholesalers
In today’s global marketplace, formulation teams face multiple pressures: consumer demand for natural ingredients, regulatory scrutiny on synthetic dyes, cost pressure, supply chain transparency, and export market compliance. Our Black Tea Brown Color addresses all these fronts:
1.It provides a credible natural alternative to synthetic brown food colours (e.g., Food Brown 3 / E155) which are under increasing regulatory and consumer scrutiny.
2.It comes from a dedicated plantation base and certified manufacturing system, supporting traceability and consistent supply — critical for large-scale manufacturing or OEM/ODM providers.
3.It is offered in a powder form with strong colouring efficiency, suitable for formulators seeking both performance and “clean label” credentials.
4.It spans multiple industries — food & beverage, nutrition, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics — making it a true multi-industry pigment offering, enabling you (the B2B customer, whether manufacturer, contract producer or wholesaler) to adopt a single solution across product lines.
5.By promoting the natural origin and comprehensive certifications (organic, kosher, halal), you can market your finished products with stronger claims: “plant-derived colour”, “no artificial dyes”, “suitable for global markets (HACCP/cGMP/FSSC-approved)”.
How to Use & Formulation Guidelines
1.Begin with a dosage trial: typically start at 0.1–0.5% (w/w) of total product weight, then adjust upward depending on desired color intensity, base matrix and pH.
2.Because it is water-soluble, disperse in the aqueous phase of your formulation. For dry mixes, pre-blend into carrier or dissolve into liquid and then add.
3.Avoid high-heat over-processing if not necessary; although stable in many systems, plant-based pigments can sometimes be more sensitive than synthetic dyes.
4.In acidic to neutral pH systems (pH ≈ 4–7) good colour stability is achieved; test in your exact product base.
5.In applications with high oil or alcohol content, additional formulation adjustment (e.g., emulsifier, carrier) may be required since pigment is not oil/ethanol soluble.
6.Always conduct shelf-life and stability checks (temperature, light, packaging) to ensure your final product maintains colour during distribution.
If you are sourcing a reliable, high-performance, truly natural brown colour pigment for use in food, nutritional, pharmaceutical or cosmetic products — one backed by a vertical supply chain, certifications, global logistics support and large planting base — this Black Tea Brown Colour is designed to meet that need. Whether you are a contract manufacturer, a supplement brand, a cosmetics OEM or a global wholesaler, this pigment offers the technical performance, regulatory credentials and origin story that can help you differentiate your finished products, fulfil “clean label” demands and expand into export markets.
