Tannin tea is a beverage that can be brewed by a character skilled in Botany by boiling some bark in water. The drink created is safe to consume, thanks to boiling, and is beneficial to the player's general health. It may also be used as a antiseptic roughly twice as strong as distilled water.

It possesses the ability to boost the drinker's immune system for a short period of time, helping to prevent infections, being especially useful to those fighting off poisoning or cholera and hoping to avoid developing any secondary diseases.

One droplet of tannin tea provides 1 point (~1.4%) of hydration. This amount is a quarter that of pure water (possibly due to small amounts of caffeine or another diuretic effect).

Due to tannin tea's relatively high value of $11.50 per droplet, and the simplicity with which it can be made given a forest and a (non-poisonous) water source, tannin tea can be a reliable source of early income. For this purpose, a soup can is better-suitad than a metal sauce pan, since tea can only be boiled one droplet at a time using either recepticle, and the soup can has multiple advantages over the saucepan, such as its smaller size, lack of durability, and storage capacity.

If one does not have a Digital Water Tester, making tannin tea is a safe alternative: unlike water, there is no poisoned variant. However, its poor hydration compared to sterilised water can make it less convenient, as it takes four times as much crafting time to restore the same hydration, and only a quarter of the hydration reserve can be stored using the same inventory capacity.
