Abstract: Metabolomics as one branch of systems biology has been widely applied to various fields of research.This article primarily outlined the metabonomic technology and the application of metabonlmic technology in tea science,including the growth of tea plant,the identification of tea cultivars and geographic origin,on-line detection in tea processing,discriminant analysis of tea,grade and quality evaluation,age and production season prediction,biochemical components determination and so on.Finally,this article puts forward the possibility and necessity of studying functional genomics with metabolomic approach.

Key words: metabolomics, tea science, review
