The composition and content of flavonol glycosides (FGs) have been measured in infusions of a range of black tea and black tea products. Tea contains a mixture of glycosides of quercetin, kaempferol, and myricetin and the total level of these glycosides, in infusions prepared in a normal domestic manner, for the leaf teas varied from 36.5 to 88.3 mg/L, although greater variation was observed for the tea products, from 7.0 to 428.1 mg/L. Altogether seven quercetin, five kaempferol, and two myricetin glycosides were detected; their relative amounts varied significantly in the different samples. The significance of these differences in relation to the bioavailability and potential bioactivity of these compounds is discussed.
