Tannin Sensitivity & Tea House Adventures: Your Global Guide
For tea lovers with tannin sensitivity, exploring global tea houses can feel like navigating a minefield. Tannins—natural compounds found in tea leaves—can trigger headaches, nausea, or digestive discomfort in sensitive individuals. When faced with foreign-language menus or unfamiliar brewing traditions, the challenge intensifies. Enter mm food, your passport to worry-free tea experiences worldwide.
The Tannin Trouble in Tea Spaces
Different teas contain varying tannin levels:
- High-tannin culprits: Black tea (Assam, Earl Grey), over-steeped green tea, some oolongs
- Lower-tannin options: White tea, lightly brewed green tea, herbal infusions
Language barriers compound the problem. Is that "Hóngchá" in China black tea (high tannins) or herbal? Does Japan’s "Hojicha" fit your needs?

Pro Tips for Tannin-Aware Tea Sipping
- Request lighter steeps: Shorter brewing = fewer tannins.
- Avoid tea-bag squeezers: Extra pressure releases more tannins.
- Pair with milk: Casein protein binds to tannins, reducing effects.
