Both clarified and unclarified aqueous tea extracts were subjected to fermentation by Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. Montrachet and by Saccharomyces bayanus after sweetening with sugar to 20° Brix. The theaflavin, caffeine and theobromine levels in the fermenting must fell progressively during 15 weeks. The soluble amino acids were reduced by >90% with S. bayanus in 1 week in the presence of added ammonium phosphate. The thearubigins remained unchanged. Marked astringency development was attributable to changes in the proportions of the soluble tea constituents. A few weeks of racking in barrels made of Berriya cordifolia reduced the astringency at the cost of liquor body. Interactions between oxidised polyphenols and proteins/polysaccharides were observed.
