Influence of brewing temperature on fluoride release from tea

The tea plant (Camellia sinensis), from which all black, green and white teas are made, absorbs fluoride from acid soil by passive diffusion which is accumulated in the leaves during the plant’s life span. There are different brewing techniques, mainly focused on different brewing time and temperature. While influence of brewing time on fluoride release from teas was examined in many studies, there are no data on influence of different brewing temperature on fluoride release from teas.Results of this study showed that higher brewing temperature enhances fluoride release from teas.
