Tannin Oral Care
Tannin Oral Care is a healthcare company that creates an all-natural, alcohol-free post-coffee mouth rinse. The rinse neutralizes coffee breath, prevents teeth staining, balances oral pH, and supports a healthy microbiome for coffee lovers.
The Story
Tannin Oral Care was born from a simple, relatable frustration: coffee drinkers were left with funky-feeling mouths, stained teeth, and no dedicated after-coffee solution. Co-founders Joe and Henry developed the brand in Charlotte, North Carolina, turning their daily coffee walks into a mission to make oral care fit actual coffee routines instead of generic ones.
The result is TANNIN, the original post-coffee mouth rinse. It is formulated to neutralize coffee breath, help reduce surface stains, balance oral pH, and support a healthier mouth after coffee, tea, or wine. The brand keeps the formula alcohol-free and built from ingredients chosen for that specific post-caffeine moment, with packaging and refill options designed for everyday use.
Since launching, Tannin has expanded from its signature rinse into a small product ecosystem, including trial packs, a welcome bundle, and wholesale offerings. The company keeps its focus on coffee culture and community, pairing product innovation with sustainable packaging and a narrative built around real connection rather than generic health marketing.
