Drinking Sencha with meals and Iron

[Uji]

Some say in the Internet that the tannin from Sencha, Houicha, etc. take away Iron from a healthful diet. Is this true?

[edkrueger]

Are you consuming more than a milligram of iron a day?

[Peacock]

I don't know a lot about this.. but tea can inhibit iron intake. You could always eat more foods rich in nonheme iron.

I'm only one person of many who drinks sencha (and lots of it) but my blood iron levels haven't dropped despite my heavy drinking. Of tea, that is.
