Hello! Tea contains tannin n caffeine both. It reduce iron absorption n change digestive enzymes secretion too. Green tea definitely have lot of antioxidant properties but contains tannin n caffeine both. For the goodies we can take 1-2 cup of green tea per day not more than that. We need to remember that moderation is the best way.
