<p>The present invention relates to a black tea composition and a process to prepare the same. The present invention addresses the problem of residue formation in the end cup for a tea product that has additives. It is an object of the present invention to provide a black tea product with additives which is substantially free from residue when reconstituted into a beverage. It is another object of the invention to provide a process for making a tea product with value added additives which does not involve granulation, and hence process complexity. The present inventors have surprisingly found that chicory granules of a specific particle size range when added to tea leaf ameliorate the problems relating to residue formation in end-cup and/or allow for a simpler process which does not have the complexity of a granulation process and/or does not require presence of further additives.</p> |
