What You Should Know

You'd spot this in the chilled grab-and-go case or bottled tea aisle—an easy pick for a sunny afternoon, picnic, or quick refreshment. It gives a nostalgic sweet iced-tea vibe with a fruity twist and is marketed as a healthier green tea option, but the added cane sugar, natural blueberry flavoring and malic acid reveal an industrially formulated, uniform ready-to-drink product.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Ready-to-drink beverage contains added sugars, natural flavoring and an acidulant (malic acid), which are hallmarks of industrial formulations classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4), despite the brewed tea base.

Common Questions about Blueberry Green Tea, 16 FZ

Well, that depends on how you define 'healthy'! This tea is made with organic ingredients and has no artificial additives, which is a win in my book. It’s refreshing and provides a nice dose of hydration with a hint of sweetness from the pure cane sugar, so it's a great alternative to sugary sodas. Just keep an eye on the sugar content if you're watching your intake!
