Question

Answer 1

No. Tea is very unhealthy. I am a doctor,okay! Trust me and shut up right now non-doc. Tea contains 50% of sugar, .000005% of calium and vitamins. Trust me young lad.

Answer 2

Yes it contains Tannin. It is green because it is dried immediately after picking. Other teas are aged, sometimes fermented before drying. It is supposed to be a good source of anti-oxidants. The amount of tannin will have very little effect on iron absorption and even then only when consumed at the same time as the food.
