Sip Safely: Mastering Tannin-Free Orders at Global Tea Houses

Navigating global tea house menus can feel overwhelming when avoiding tannins—compounds in tea linked to digestive discomfort or iron absorption issues. While chamomile might be safe in Berlin, that artisanal oolong in Tokyo could pose risks. Thankfully, mm food transforms this challenge into confidence.

Why Tannins Matter
Tannins naturally occur in tea leaves, especially black, green, and white varieties. Though not allergies, sensitivities can cause headaches or nausea. Avoiding them requires understanding preparation methods, blends, and hidden ingredients—all while deciphering foreign-language menus.

Your Digital Tea Sommelier
With mm food, order tannin-free drinks and meals effortlessly:

1. Activate the Tannin-Free filter in your dietary profile. Customize further if needed.
2. Scan any tea house menu—mm food instantly translates it to your language.
3. AI cross-references ingredients and brewing techniques, flagging safe options like:
   • Herbal infusions (rooibos, peppermint, hibiscus)
   • Tisanes with fruit or flowers
   • Dishes without tannin-rich ingredients (e.g., unripe fruits or certain spices)

Real-World Ease
Imagine scanning a Kyoto matcha house menu in Japanese. mm food translates it, then highlights a safe sakura blossom herbal blend and sweet potato wagashi. No guesswork, no discomfort—just serene sipping.
