About Tea, black, brewed, prepared with tap water
Black tea is the most widely drunk tea in the world — leaves that are fully oxidized, giving a darker, bolder, more robust brew than green tea. Drunk plain, with milk, or spiced into a chai, it's a daily ritual for much of the planet.
Brewed and unsweetened, it's almost calorie-free, its value lying in its caffeine — a gentler lift than coffee — and its polyphenol antioxidants, chiefly the tannins that give it body and a slightly astringent edge. It also carries small amounts of minerals like manganese.
Calories only appear when you add milk, sugar or honey. On its own, black tea is a near-zero-calorie way to enjoy a warm, lightly caffeinated drink with a useful dose of antioxidants.
