Any brands of green tea low in tannic acid? Too much tannic acid makes drinking a lot of tea objectionable to me, although I'm ok with a little once in a while.

What is it about the tannins in the tea that bothers you? Technically, tea contains tannins, but not actual tannic acid. (C14 H10 O9 is tannic acid vs. C20 H20 O9 for tea) The tannins are actually one of the benefical substances in the tea.I'm not sure if there is tea low in tannins.
