Tannin is a chemical compound belonging to the polyphenols.
Tannic acid is a special form of tannin, but the two are not the same. And it is true that tea does not contain tannic acid, but it do contain various types of polyphenols = tannins.

i misread the wikipedia, and i stand corrected. thank you for that!

i had the pleasure of visiting sweden years ago and motoring the gota kanal. it was summer and the weather was good. the swedes we met told us that sweden has nine months of winter and three months of bad skating weather!
a very beautiful place.

I have never sailed the Göta kanal my self, but I hear it is nice. In which direction did you go? West -> East or the other way?

That would be in the far north then and it is true there. In the south we have some really hot summers.

we had great weather - warm, calm... a few days of light rain that didn't last more than a few hours - quite pleasant.

and the whole kanal trip was a wonderful beginning that ended on our side of the atlantic in the virgin islands.
