An aqueous extract of made tea, after removal of polyphenolic matter and passage through ion‐exchange resins, was examined for sugars by paper chromatography. Glucose, fructose, sucrose, arabinose and ribose were detected. Less positive identifications were made of maltose, raffinose and rhamnose. meso Inositol was also found.
