About Tea, instant, unsweetened, powder
Instant tea is brewed tea that has been dried into a soluble powder, ready to dissolve in hot or cold water. This entry is the unsweetened kind, so it carries the flavor and compounds of tea without any added sugar.
The figure of about 315 calories per 100 grams is for the concentrated dry powder; the amount used to make an actual cup is tiny, so a prepared cup of unsweetened tea is essentially calorie-free. It carries the polyphenol antioxidants tea is known for and a moderate dose of caffeine, though instant tea generally has somewhat less of these than freshly brewed leaves.
Its appeal is pure convenience, especially for iced tea — a spoonful stirred into cold water in seconds. For the richest flavor and the most antioxidants, freshly brewed loose-leaf or bagged tea still has the edge.
