Tag: Tea bases

According to boba industry research, the caffeine content in a fruit tea depends almost entirely on its base—many popular fruit-flavored boba teas are actually made with a caffeine-free herbal or fruit infusion, not traditional tea. A true fruit tea made with a green or black tea base will contain a moderate amount of caffeine, but other fruity options have none at all.

According to the NHS, a typical serving of traditional milk tea can contain 30–60 mg of caffeine. The answer to whether fruit milk teas have caffeine isn't always straightforward, as it depends on whether the drink is made with a traditional tea base or a caffeine-free fruit-flavored powder or herbal infusion.
