Sip Without Borders: Navigating Tannin-Free Tea Houses Worldwide

For tea enthusiasts sensitive to tannins, exploring global tea houses can feel like navigating a minefield. Tannins—natural compounds in tea that contribute to bitterness—can trigger migraines, digestive issues, or nutrient absorption problems. But savoring global tea traditions shouldn't require compromise. With mm food, transform tea house visits into worry-free cultural adventures.

Why Tannin Sensitivity Demands Vigilance

Tannins occur naturally in tea leaves, especially black, oolong, and green varieties. While generally harmless, they can cause adverse reactions like:

• Headaches or migraines
• Stomach irritation or nausea
• Impaired iron absorption

Traditional tea menus rarely label tannin content, making ordering risky without tools to decode ingredients.
