About Tannins
Tannins are a class of astringent, polyphenolic biomolecules that bind to and precipitate proteins and various other organic compounds including amino acids and alkaloids. They are found in many plants and are notably present in tea, coffee, and red wine. They contribute to the taste and color of these beverages. Tannins are broadly divided into hydrolyzable and condensed tannins.
