Lois wants to go to Starbucks and order herbal tea. She’s trying to lose weight. Thus, she wants to drink low-calorie beverages.
Now, she’s wondering what tea to buy from this famous coffee shop. It’ll be her first time visiting Starbucks so she has no idea what to order.
Starbucks herbal tea is not as popular as its coffee beverages. But tea lovers, like Lois, want something with no caffeine.
In this post, let’s talk about the healthiest tea that you can order at Starbucks.
Top Herbal Teas at Starbucks
Youthberry Tea
It’s a blend of white tea, reship peels, acai powder, hibiscus, and dried fruits. Youthberry is similar to green tea as it contains a high amount of antioxidants, tannin, catechins, polyphenols, and flavonoids.
This tea may have caffeine but the amount is not that much. The acai fruit powder gives this tea more antioxidant power.
Although it does contain caffeine, it is not as much as black and green tea. Thus, it is a great herbal tea that you can order at Starbucks in the mid-afternoon. It won’t affect your sleep.
Chamomile Tea
We all know that chamomile is a relaxing tea you can drink before bedtime. Per tall order of chamomile herbal Starbucks blend, you get 0 calories and 0g grams of caffeine. It has 0g of sugar unless you add honey to it.
Chamomile is one of the teas that can calm the senses, thereby, promoting sleep. If you’re like Lois who wishes to lose weight, then this tea is a must-have. It’s free of sugar, fat, and calorie. But don’t add milk.
Chai Tea
Don’t order chai tea latte, though, because it is high in calories. Whether you order a chai tea latte with nonfat milk or soy milk, it comes in under 300 calories.
Now, if you want chai tea with no calories then pure chai tea is your best option. It still contains caffeine. But the amount is not as much as a double shot espresso. Thus, you can drink it at 4 pm.
This is a better option if you want a kick but not as much caffeine as coffee. It has ginger, black pepper, and cardamom. A warm chai tea makes it a perfect drink while chatting with your friends in the mid-afternoon.
Then again, make sure not to order a chai tea latte. As mentioned, a chai tea latte contains less than 300 calories per tall cup.
Rooibos Latte
Rooibos tea contains antioxidants. It also contains anti-inflammatory properties that can reduce your histamine and allergic reactions.
You can order pure rooibos. However, this tea works well with skimmed milk with no sugar. It is also a low-calorie option that can be good for you even if you are pregnant.
Matcha tea
You can choose to order a matcha tea latte with whole-fat milk or opt for pure matcha tea. Matcha is one of the superfoods being raved about in 2017.
Research also showed that this tea is more effective in weight loss because of its high concentration of catechins. One of its numerous benefits includes the ability to prevent cancer. It can also boost the immune system while promoting weight loss.
If you drink it every day, you may drop a significant amount of weight in 12 weeks. But of course, you need to drink it every day for a few weeks. You can’t just lose weight by drinking a cup of matcha green tea.
You can add whole-fat milk to this tea. The fat and protein content of this milk can keep you fuller for longer. Thus, you won’t have to eat every hour. It also stabilizes your blood sugar levels.
Then again, you still need to add workouts to your routine if you wish to use this tea as a way to help you lose weight.
Green Tea
This is a light and refreshing drink you can have in the morning. If you think that its taste is too plain on its own, then you can add any flavor to it.
Hence, you can order iced green tea with honey. Ask the barista to add a little honey blend so it won’t overshadow the tea’s taste completely.
Honey and tea mesh together seamlessly. The mixture will be very palatable. You can cut back on some sweetness by adding just half of the honey flavoring.
You may also choose to add lemon or peach.
Earl Grey
It’s a popular herbal tea in the UK and Starbucks is offering it with a complex and aromatic flavor. It is actually a base for various specialty tea drinks. It is a traditional blend of black tea and some bergamot oil.
You’ll love Earl Grey for its blank canvas. However, you can still choose to add a citrus tea bag to complement Earl Grey. It will bring more flavor to your tea.
Honey Citrus Mint
It is made with Peach Tranquility tea and Jade Citrus Mint. It has a mixture of water, lemonade, and honey. This tea became popular so Starbucks had no choice but to make it a permanent part of its menu.
As for its flavor, it is tart and sweet. For some people, the slight lemony bite might be overbearing. You can also ask the barista to replace ounces of lemonade with water.
You’ll find this tea to be comforting and vibrant.
Mint Majesty
Mint is popular in the tea world. It warms and invigorates on its way down. This is a standout herb although it is not as earthy as its siblings, like oregano, thyme, and rosemary.
This tea can stand on its own. However, it can be shared with other elements when you combine it with other ingredients.
It is slightly sweet that offers warmth to the chest. You’ll enjoy this minty flavor without the caffeine. Thus, you can pick it up in the afternoon when it is time for you to unwind.
Are These Teas Available Anywhere?
Unfortunately, not all Starbucks branches carry these teas. Thus, before you go to the nearest Starbucks, you may check out its mobile app and find out if the herbal tea you wish to drink is available.
