2. Add 5gm of tea and boil it for 4 to 5 minute. Then cool it and filter. 3. Repeat this process again with 100ml of distilled water and residual tea leave. 4. The filtrate in each case should be collected. 5. Now the wet tea samples may be dried in an over and weighted. Removal of Tannic Acid from Filtrate - Step-II 1. The filtrate obtained in the first step is now boiled with 2-3 grm. calcium carbonate to get tannic acid, present in tea extract, frecipitated. On leaving it for ten minutes ppt. is obtained. 2. Filter the solution without disturbing the ppt carefully. The ppt should be transferred to filter paper only after all the filtrate is removed. 3. Tannic acid has been extracted in the form of calcium ternate which on treatment with hydrochloric acid give tannic acid. 4. The filtrate is now free from tannic acid and can be used to extract caffeine.
