Does decaf tea have tannins

Yes. Green Tea contains polyphenols (aka catechins), which are a specific type of tannin.Green Tea contains more of these substances (30-42% of the extractable solids) than Black Tea or Oolong Tea. Oolong Tea has 8-20% catechin content, and Black Tea is about halfway between Green Tea and Oolong Tea in catechin content. Note tea does not contain Tannic Acid.
