Focusing on the recent progress of tea polyphenol chemistry and perspectives by Shiming Li, Liang Zhang, Xiaochun Wan, Jianfeng Zhan, Chi-Tang Ho

“…Still the emergence of new chemistry in tea, particularly the property of scavenging reactive carbonyl species (RCS) and the newly discovered flavoalkaloid compounds, has drawn increasing attention. In this review, we summarize recent findings of a new class of compounds in tea - flavonoid alkaloids (flavoalkaloids), which exist in fresh tea leaves and can be generated during the process of post-harvesting, and also postulate the formation mechanism of flavoalkaloids between catechins and theanine-derived Strecker aldehyde. …”
