What You Should Know

You'd find this organic lemon black tea in the refrigerated bottled tea aisle or in a convenience cooler—an easy grab-and-go sip for warm afternoons or quick refreshment. It projects a nostalgic, lightly sweet and 'healthier' organic vibe, but its bottled, ready-to-drink format with added agave, lemon concentrate, a listed "natural flavor," and citric acid signals industrial processing. Those choices point to a smooth, consistent texture and flavor profile typical of shelf-ready, ultraprocessed beverages.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

This is a ready-to-drink bottled beverage with added sweetener (agave), lemon concentrate, a declared "natural flavor," and citric acid—ingredients and additives characteristic of industrial formulations. Even with brewed tea as the base, the presence of concentrates and flavoring agents places it in NOVA 4 (ultraprocessed).

Common Questions about Organic Lemon Black Tea 4pk, 12 FZ

Health is a bit of a moving target, isn’t it? This tea is low in calories and made with organic ingredients, so it's a great choice for a refreshing drink. However, it does have 11 grams of sugar per can, which is something to keep in mind if you're watching your sugar intake. So, it’s healthy in moderation, especially compared to sugary sodas!
