To establish a robust traceability model for Pu-erh tea, this study systematically investigated the effects of geographical origin, processing, and their interaction on the stable isotope ratios (δ 13 C, δ 15 N, δ 2 H, and δ 18 O) in both tea and its caffeine monomer. Results revealed that the stable isotopic compositions in Pu-erh tea and caffeine significantly differed among regions, δ 2 H tea , δ 13 C caffeine , δ 2 H caffeine and δ 18 O caffeine were significantly influenced by processing, all the stable isotopes were significantly influenced by region-processing interaction, and region contributed most to the variation of each stable isotope. Among them, δ 13 C caffeine , δ 13 C tea , δ 15 N tea , and δ 2 H caffeine were identified as the key indicators for geographical discrimination. Furthermore, 97.2 % correct discrimination rate and good validation (Q 2  = 0.775) were achieved by linear discriminant analysis and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis, respectively. Ultimately, this study confirms that tea and caffeine stable isotope signatures are capable for classifying the Pu-erh tea geographical origin even mixed with different processed samples.
