FAQ
Is this the same as unsweetened iced green tea?
No. This is pre-sweetened with sugar during manufacturing, resulting in a consistent sweetness and calorie content (31 kcal per 100g), whereas unsweetened versions have near-zero calories and sugar.
Does decaffeination remove all the beneficial compounds from the green tea?
No. While the decaffeination process reduces caffeine, it generally preserves most of the tea's catechins and other polyphenols, which are the primary antioxidants.
How does its sugar content compare to a typical soda?
It's roughly comparable. A 100g serving has about 7.7g of sugar, while a typical cola has about 10-11g of sugar per 100g, making this a slightly less sugary but still sweetened option.
