Hello, Green tea contains tannins (polyphenols) therefore: Tannins are astringent, bitter plant polyphenols that either bind and precipitate or shrink proteins. The astringency from the tannins is what causes the dry and puckery feeling in the mouth following the consumption of unripened fruit or red wine[1] Likewise, the destruction or modification of tannins with time plays an important role in the ripening of fruit and the aging of wine. There is also a chance that leafs of green tea (any tea) where collected at a premature state when tannin element is present at its highest. Best thing is to have a snack while drinking tea Regards
