That's why I stopped drinking green tea with my meals. Blocks other minerals from being absorbed, too. Basically, don't drink tea while you're eating. Drink it on its own, at least an hour after a meal or something like that.Oh i didnt know that about tannins. Il have to look into my chamomile tea now. I love that stuff and oatstraw really helps me sleep!
Oh yes, there's nothing like a good cup of chamomile. I love the smell of it. Never heard of oatstraw! New tea to look into. I really love tea.
