Camellia (Black Tea) Absolute - Camellia sinensis
Botanical Name - Camellia (Black Tea) Absolute - Camellia sinensis, also known as Thea sinensis. Plant Origin - India. Oil taken from - Fermented Leaves. Extraction Method - Solvent Extraction (Hexane free). Aroma Description - A warm, full-bodied gently sweet aroma with vanilla-like undertones, hints of dried fruit, malt, and subtle smoky undertones. Traditional uses Camellia Black Tea Absolute include - Also called Thea sinensis Absolute. All types of Tea come from Camellia sinensis - White, Black, Green, Yellow and Oolong. Black Tea Absolute is a concentrated aromatic extract obtained from fully fermented Camellia sinensis leaves. Unlike steam‑distilled tea essential oils, Black Tea Absolute captures the deeper, more robust aromatic profile created during the oxidation (fermentation) process. Depending on the extraction process Black Tea Absolute can be naturally thick and resinous, and often requires gentle warming or dilution to make it easier to work with. After looking at this end product, we at Mantra decided that it made the item very difficult to use, and looked for alternative extraction methods to find a quality product that was more user friendly. We finally decided on a solvent extraction product that is hexane-free and has a much lighter, workable profile after secondary clarification processes. Our product varies in colour from almost clear to pale amber, and works well for mainstream product making and Aromatherapy purposes. Die hard perfumers may well prefer the thick, almost solid product that needs to be diluted before becoming workable, and if this is what your looking for then this lighter profile product will not be for you. We are now delighted to offer this beautiful and characterful solvent extraction with secondary clarification Black Tea Absolute as part of our Precious Aromatics Range, but as it is such a rare item we can currently only offer it in 1ml size. While Green and White Tea oils tend to be fresher and more herbaceous, Black Tea Absolute offers a richer, more mature aromatic experience, with delightful vanilla-like undertones. Considered a grounding and comforting aromatic, Black Tea Absolute is often used to help ease emotional fatigue, promote relaxation and provide a sense of warmth and stability. Its deep, mellow aroma makes it a favourite for blends intended to soothe the mind and calm the spirit. Black Tea Absolute contains natural polyphenols and antioxidants, making it a useful addition to skincare formulations. It may help support the skin’s natural defences, reduce the impact of environmental stressors and promote a healthier-looking complexion. It is often used in products designed for mature, tired or stressed skin due to its antioxidant profile. While not as rich in EGCG as Green Tea, Black Tea still offers notable protective qualities and contributes to overall skin vitality. Black Tea Absolute also has mild anti-inflammatory properties, making it a gentle choice for soothing irritated or reactive skin types when properly diluted. Its warm, comforting aroma is widely used in perfumery, candles, soaps, haircare, body products, and artisan fragrance blends. It adds depth, sophistication and a natural tea-like nuance that is both elegant and universally appealing.
