Theogallin is a trihydroxybenzoic acid glycoside, a type of polyphenolic compound found in tea^[1] where it has been characterised as an umami enhancing compound.^[2] The compound can also be found in Arbutus unedo fruits.^[3]

In rats, theogallin, or its metabolite quinic acid, can move through the blood brain barrier and can have cognition enhancing activities.^[4]
