Tea is a familiar beverage for many people. The brewed tea will be drunk throughout the day. Any tea left over the next day will no longer be drinkable and must be thrown away. The reason is that tea that is steeped for too long will secrete a lot of tannic acid and caffeine, creating a bitter taste that is difficult to drink. In addition, a large amount of tannic acid in tea meets stomach acid and will form a precipitate that will hinder the body's absorption of iron and damage the stomach lining. Besides, tea left for too long can also be invaded by microorganisms, causing changes in quality, making it no longer good for human health.
