Tea contains relatively high amounts of tannic acid and theophylline. After entering the gastrointestinal tract, tannic acid inhibits the secretion of gastric juice and intestinal fluid, both of which are essential for digesting food; tannic acid also reacts with proteins in foods such as meat, eggs, bean products, and dairy products, forming insoluble tannin-protein coagulants that are difficult to digest. The more protein consumed and the stronger the tea, the more severe this situation becomes.

Large amounts of tannic acid strongly irritate the gastric mucosa, causing gastric dysfunction leading to indigestion, and also irritate the intestinal mucosa, thereby hindering the intestine's absorption of nutrients. Furthermore, theophylline in tea inhibits the small intestine's absorption of iron.

Drinking strong tea immediately before or after meals over the long term can cause adverse consequences such as indigestion, constipation, nutritional disorders, and anemia. Therefore, it is not advisable to drink tea within half an hour before meals or within one hour after meals. Additionally, it is also not good to drink tea on an empty stomach.
