Black Tea Absolute

Black tea absolute is a concentrated aromatic substance extracted primarily from the dried leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, known for its use in making black tea. This absolute is obtained through solvent extraction, a method that helps preserve the deep, complex aromas of the tea leaves.

The scent profile of black tea absolute is rich, warm, and robust. It prominently features a deep, earthy base that is reminiscent of dried leaves and wood, evoking the comforting, familiar aroma of brewed black tea. Alongside these deeper notes, there are subtle hints of spice and a slight smokiness, which add complexity and a touch of luxury to the overall fragrance. Often, there are also softer, sweeter undertones that might suggest malt or honey, rounding out the robust qualities of the tea scent.

This absolute is commonly used in perfumery to lend a unique, aromatic quality to fragrance compositions. Its warm and inviting scent makes it suitable for building the middle or base notes of a perfume, particularly in oriental, woody, or gourmand fragrance families. Black tea absolute blends well with other natural scents like bergamot, jasmine, and sandalwood, making it a versatile and appealing choice for sophisticated and multifaceted perfumes.
