Kombucha tea faces many challenges concerning its use for its health benefits, such as standardization, as well as the determination of a specific dosage form appropriate to the intended use. Kombucha tea, as a fermented, alcohol-containing beverage that relies on a complex combination of living yeast and bacteria for production, is especially difficult to administer. The present invention provides a consistent, standardized dosage form and novel combinations of a traditional medicinal drink that is otherwise unsuitable for widespread natural medicine. By providing kombucha as a soft, chewable and orally dissolvable and/or disintegrable compositions, such as a gummie, a gummie with probiotics, or a gummy made from tapioca syrup, a unique, desirable flavor and mouthfeel is obtained and which is also alcohol free. This expands the number of people who can enjoy the benefits of the traditional tea.

The present invention relates to an infusion product for making a beverage, more specifically to a plant-based composition for making a beverage, and to a herbal and/or vegetable composition or bouquet garni. The plants are fruits, herbs, medicinal plants, tea, vegetables and/or spices. The invention further relates to a method for producing said compositions or infusion product, its use for making a (tea) beverage, and a (tea) beverage so obtained. Further, the present invention relates to a fiber-web, preferably a tea bag, made from said fruits, herbs, medicinal plants, tea, vegetable and/or spices.

The present invention abstract describes the steps of a process for the preparation of black tea and the respective end product, wherein, in the initial step of the proposed process for producing black tea, the young yerba mate leaves (buds) are subjected to withering for a certain time. Next, the already withered leaves are rolled; next, the fermentation is carried out, and after such fermentation, drying and segregation are performed.

A granular composition containing dietary fibers derived from green tea and a method for preparing the same are provided. The granular composition may be prepared into granules, which has a suitable size and a shape to eat, using dietary fiber-containing processed green tea, an oligosaccharide and a sugar alcohol as raw materials. The granular composition may also be useful in solving the problems such as dust scattering, choking, and the like due to the good flowability of the granules, and manufacturing goods because the granular composition is easy to quantify due to the good filling properties.
