About Tea beverages

Black tea is obtained by brewing the processed leaves of the tea plant, Camellia sinensis. It is widely consumed in India and across the world as a hot or cold beverage. This 'ready to drink' version represents black tea brewed with water and no additives such as milk or sugar.

It contains negligible calories, almost no fat or protein, and very low carbohydrate content since it is primarily infused water. Black tea contains small amounts of potassium but virtually no other vitamins or minerals. There is no significant sugar content when consumed without sweeteners.

As a vegan beverage, it fits well within vegetarian and vegan dietary patterns. This variant is often consumed plain or with milk and sugar added, which changes nutritional values significantly.
