What is Brewed Black Tea Extract?

It is commonly used in beverages to impart a natural tea flavor and aroma. Brewed Black Tea Extract offers the same health benefits as regular black tea, like potential antioxidant properties. Scientific evidence suggests these compounds may support heart health, though results can be inconsistent.
