This might be a place to start.. Their intent was to synthesize caffeine, but one of the steps seems to be enzymatically producing theobromine from tea leaves by adding insoluble polyvinylpyrrolidine. The question becomes, where does one find insoluble polyvinylpyrrolidine. I don't remember seeing that at my local brew shop.
