Tea Tannins vs Tannic Acid
There seems to be much confusion about Tea Tannins and Tannic Acid; they are NOT the same. Tannic Acid is found in, for example, Oak leaves and, originally, was extracted to perform the task of tanning leather. Tea Tannins will not tan leather.
The formula for Tannic Acid (Acidum Tannicum) is:
C14 H10 O9
The formula for Tea Tannins is:
C20 H20 O9
