According to the inquiry of Apple Green Health Network, crabs are not allowed to drink tea. Because tea will solidify some components in the crab, drinking tea is not conducive to the digestion and absorption of crabs, and even cause abdominal pain and diarrhea in severe cases. Tea is rich in tea polyphenols and tannic acid. When combined with protein, they will disperse in the human body and form a precipitate, while crabs are rich in protein. So it is not suitable for drinking tea when eating crabs. You can have a cup of tea after eating crabs for 2-3 hours.

Crab is a crustacean, its body is protected by a hard shell, and it breathes through its gills. Taxonomically, it is the same kind of animal as shrimp, lobster and hermit crab. Most kinds of crabs live in the ocean or offshore areas, and some live in fresh water or land.
