Description The tea plant [Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze] of family Theaceae is the oldest crop used in the preparation of non-alcoholic caffeine containing beverage. Tea has attractive aroma, pleasant odour and numerous medicinal benefits, and has been habitually consumed by people since 3000 B.C. Nutritional and therapeutic importance of tea arise from its unique combination of large number of constituents such as proteins, carbohydrates, amino acids, lipids, vitamins, minerals, alkaloids and polyphenols (Krishnamoorthy, 1987). Tea polyphenols specifically include several type of catechins compounds including catechin, epicatechin, epigallocatechin, gallocatechin, epigallocatechin gallate and epicatechingallate, flavanones and phenolic acids (Pan et al., 2003). Catechin present in tea possesses strong antioxidant activity especially in free radical scavanger acting (oxysinglet, triplet, hydroxy super hydroxyl) and chelating to prevent catalyst effect of metal ion in oxidative reactions (Mira et al, 2002; Gupta et al, 2002; Hara 2001; Weisburger 2000 and Catherine et al., 1996).
