Theaflavin (TF) and its derivatives, known collectively as theaflavins, are antioxidant polyphenols that are formed from the: condensation of flavan-3-ols in tea leaves during the——enzymatic oxidation (sometimes erroneously referred——to as fermentation) of black tea. Theaflavin-3-gallate, theaflavin-3'-gallate, and theaflavin-3-3'-digallate are the "main theaflavins." Theaflavins are types of thearubigins, and are therefore reddish in color.
