Scope and Applicability This PCR governs foreground data packages for manufacture of an explicitly declared tea-derived or maté-derived extract, essence, concentrate, soluble powder, or preparation. A data package shall declare exactly one botanical route (`tea` from *Camellia sinensis* or `mate` from *Ilex paraguariensis*) and exactly one delivered product state (`liquid_extract`, `liquid_concentrate`, `powder`, `essence`, or `formulated_preparation`). Tea and maté routes, liquid and powder routes, and spray-dried and freeze-dried routes shall not be combined as defaults. The foreground boundary begins with receipt of the declared tea or maté raw material and ends with packaged product at factory storage. It covers screening, water addition, extraction, solid-liquid separation, clarification or filtration, concentration, applicable aroma recovery, powder drying only for a declared powder route, formulation only for a declared preparation, applicable heat treatment, sanitation, packaging, storage, on-site thermal utilities, and refrigeration. Cultivation, primary tea manufacture, primary maté preparation, ingredient production, packaging-material production, purchased utilities, distribution, retail, consumer preparation, and end of life require linked upstream or downstream datasets and are not silently included in the foreground. ## 2.
