Beautiful Tahquamenon Falls
People sometimes call it Rootbeer Falls because the tannins in the water and the froth make the water look like rootbeer.

The Red waters of Florida. Did you know some of the red-tinted waters around mangroves are caused by tannins? Tannins are natural organic compounds that leach from the tree’s wood, bark, and intricate prop roots as they break down or interact with rain.

These Ever-changing colors are made when light reflects off of the tannins that have risen to the surface of the water. Sort of like a how you see a bubble’s colors. Tannins come from the older, decaying Cypress trees buried in the water.

@tomsbrown.bsky.social She falls into her bog bed. Peat-pillowed. Moss-blanketed. Cradled by its brown waters. A protection of humic acids, tannins. Heather honey on the tongue of her bitter dreams.

The hardest working guild in Karazad- the embalmers. The potent tannins found in the vast peat bogs north of the city are the primary drivers of preservation, but salt and oil also come into play once the cadavers emerge from their long immersions

Caffeine, tannins, nicotine, capsaicin... whenever plants evolve something to deter herbivores and insects, we absolutely love it.

One of the most English tasting French ciders I've ever had. Would definitely buy again. Think stewed apples and a healthy bit of farmyard with soft tannins.
