Bitter compound in tea (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tannin

(Other definitions for tannin that I've seen before include "Vegetable substance used in making wine" , "Ingredient of red wines" , "gives red wine its distinctive flavour" , "Something in red wines" , "source of bitterness in wine" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
