This study uses experimental laboratory type including the collection and preparation of green tea and black tea samples, making standard curves, determining the variation of oxidising agents HNO3 and H2SO4 with a ratio of (3:1). Testing using Absorption Spectrophotometry. The results showed the highest level in home industry A sample A1 green wet 1.4 mg/kg and the lowest level of sample A3 black wet 1.07 mg/kg. The highest level of home industry B sample B3 black wet 1.2 mg/kg and the lowest level of sample B1 green wet 1.1 mg/kg. Both samples met the requirement of ≤ 2 mg/kg.
