Amazon.com: Books: How to Taste : A Guide to Enjoying Wine (#)

„under the superior title Jancis Robinson's Wine-Tasting Workbook, How to Taste is a primer by a certified Master of Wine and star of the PBS series Jancis Robinson's Wine Course. From acidity to Australian Shiraz, oak to Oregon Pinot, Robinson delivers chapters of information and theory, intermingled with shaded "Practice" exercises, presented in a style as off-dry as one of the author's beloved Rieslings (the tannin in a lesser vintage Barolo is "like sucking on a matchstick"). Sometimes tuition at Jancis U. runs high: the lesson on sugar/acid balance culminates with expensive Sauterne "Practice." And even if Robinson risks, by dropping words like "charred" and "umami" early in the book, sending novices back to tear open a fresh box of Franzia, vinous virgins are encouraged to stick with it.“

BBC News | HEALTH | Pine cone source for stroke drug (#)

„Low Graphics Tuesday, 9 October, 2001, 09:42 GMT 10:42 UK Pine cone source for stroke drug Damage can be widespread following stroke A molecule extracted from green tea leaves or pine cones may be able to reduce the brain damage from strokes, say scientists. Gallotannin, and nobotanin B - found in a Japanese flower - both cut the damage from a simulated stroke in mouse brain cells grown in the laboratory. However, there is no guarantee that they will work as well in a real patient. The hours following a stroke are crucial to the future prospects, or even survival of the patient.“

Amazon.com: Product Description: Riedel Vinum Bordeaux Wine Glasses, Set of 6 (#)

„Every wine has its own blend--fruit, acidity, mineral, tannin, alcohol--based on the grape variety, soil, and climate. By studying the character of the grape variety Riedel is able to deliver wine and spirits to the nose and palate so that each beverage can reach its full expression. The finish plays an important part in the overall impression and even this is strongly influenced by the design of the bowl.It will take time to recognize that a glass is not just a glass but an instrument of pleasure and enjoyment.“

Amazon.com: Books: Michael Broadbent's Vintage Wine (#)

„A blend of 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, it is a backward, super-concentrated effort displaying an inky purple color, and a thrilling bouquet of minerals, black fruits, vitamins, and toast. It possesses a wealth of fruit, glycerin, and extract as well as high levels of tannin, and a finish that lasts nearly a minute. It will undoubtedly close down after bottling, and not be close to prime time drinking until 2010 or later. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2050." 96-98 Points - Robert M.“

Tea & Coffee 01/04 - Beyond Black: Tea Products For Health (#)

„Rooibos is naturally sweet and almost nutty in flavor so it doesn’t really need any added sweetener - something the health-conscious customer is avidly trying to avoid. This is because it contains on average less than half the tannin of regular tea, the element that makes black tea so bitter. Tannins can also prevent the absorption of iron and certain proteins in the body. Rooibos is also naturally caffeine free.“

It's All About Coffee (#)

„Dietician Chiara Trombetti of the Humanitas Gavazzeni institute in the northern Italian town of Bergamo says that far from giving you palpitations, coffee helps improve the circulation within the heart. It's the tannin and antioxidants that do it. And if that's not recommendation enough, she says it can also help prevent cirrhosis of the liver, stave off gallstones and relieve headaches. What's more, asthma attacks could be reduced by coffee's caffeine content.“

„Let the flavour flood out, as the advert used to say. But not for too long, or you'll get a tannin attack2 . In each of two good strong cups/mugs, (none of this frilly bone china nonsense) put a half teaspoon of white sugar. Cover with tea from the pot (use a strainer if you used tea-leaves) and then dribble in a few spots of milk.“

Peet's Coffee & Tea (#)

„Made strong -- with a heaping teaspoon for a large mugful -- put into a heated vessel, and then steeped for a timed four minutes, it's the perfect waker-upper. Like so many black teas, strong Russian Caravan will be undrinkable plain if it's steeped beyond four minutes; too much tannin comes out, destroying its beautiful taste.“

„The blackberry's there, but unsweetened, along with the usual Kenya wineyness. The roast taste is almond and a touch of harsh tannin. More like an old style claret rather than California lush. I tried it as a shot, not bad; but it clashes with any sweetening bean like Brazil or Indo.“
