Tea Polyphenols: variation with respect to agro-climatic condition, their impact in human health and soil environment

Abstract

Tea is the richest source of different kinds of polyphenols and potential antioxidants. recent years numerous biochemical and physiological studies have demonstrated that accumulation of polyphenols in tea is significantly related to soil nutrient availability. In this review recent advances in current understanding of bioactive polyphenols and their accumulation in tea plant have been discussed concisely.
