Abstract Liquid chromatography coupled to isotope ratio mass spectrometry (LC-IRMS) was developed for determinations of caffeine δ13C from commercial tea in the Chinese market under lower temperature condition. On the basis of the carbon isotope analysis of 116 commercial tea samples including black tea, Oolong tea, green tea, dark tea, white tea, yellow tea and scented tea, it explained that the range of caffeine δ13C for commercial tea were from −26.14 to −33.68‰. Partial least-squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) modeling of caffeine δ13C data indicated that six main types of Chinese tea presented significant difference, and caffeine δ13C in Chinese tea was related to the fermented process except yellow tea. The method was also used for measurement of caffeine δ13C in the 19 tea drinks, and the results showed that caffeine in the seven tea drinks was not from the natural tea. Thus, LC-IRMS can be very promising tool for evaluation of natural caffeine from commercial tea and tea drinks authenticity.
