From the methanolic extract of defatted tender leaf of Camellia sinensis a new 4-hydroxy angular furocoumarin $C_{12}H_8O_5$, m.p. $212^{\circ}C$, was isolated using high-speed counter-current chromatographic technique. The structure of the compound was established as 4-hydroxy-2'-methoxy angular furocoumarin on the basis of physical methods viz. $^1H$ NMR, $^{13}C$ NMR and MS.
