โฆ Synopsis
Thirty-three Argentinian black tea samples of three grades (BOP, BOPF and PF) obtained fortnightly were examined for their theaflavin ( T F ) , thearubigin ( T R ) and total and extractable caffeine contents during the 1985 186 season. Total and extractable caffeine contents decreased gradually during most of the season after an early rapid increase. TF contents fluctuated following climatic variations, decreasing after rainy periods. Total colour and T F curves were consistent with there being a good linear correlation between them, whereas TR showed erratic fluctuations throughout the whole season.
