Savor Your Sip: A Tannin-Free Global Guide to Tea and Cafes

For those sensitive to tannins—naturally occurring compounds in tea, coffee, and certain foods—ordering beverages abroad can feel like navigating a minefield. Tannins can trigger headaches, digestive issues, or worsen conditions like GERD. But your love for quaint cafés and exotic tea houses doesn’t have to end. With the mm food app, you can confidently scan and translate menus while instantly checking for tannins and other dietary restrictions.

Tannin-Free Tea Treasures

Not all teas are tannin-rich! Embrace these naturally safe options:

• Rooibos: South Africa’s iconic red bush tea, packed with antioxidants.
• Honeybush: A sweet, caffeine-free sibling to rooibos.
• Herbal Blends: Chamomile, mint, or ginger-based infusions (avoid black/green tea bases).
• White Tea (lightly brewed): Minimal tannins with short steeping times.

Navigating Cafés Globally

Japan: Skip matcha ceremonies—opt for

mugicha (barley tea). Ask for "mugi-cha" via mm food’s translation tool.

Middle East: Avoid strong black teas; request "zahour" (herbal blooms) or sage-infused drinks.

Europe: Cafés often carry rooibos. Ask for "red bush tea" and use the app to scan labels.
