This article summarizes the consumer options and confirmed our path. Here’s a long-ish excerpt:
But what you buy in a bottle may not deliver all the benefits you’re hoping to get from drinking tea—such as its potential to improve heart health and lower risk of conditions like cognitive decline and diabetes.
“In order to have these beneficial effects, the tea you’re drinking must be high in antioxidants,” says Joe Vinson, Ph.D., professor of chemistry at the University of Scranton. “And there’s no way of knowing what you’re actually getting when you buy iced tea in a bottle.”
What’s more, many bottled iced teas are nutritionally on par with soda—complete with loads of sugars, and artificial colors and flavors.
That’s not to say iced tea is never a good choice. Some bottles are better than others and, as always, it pays to read the nutrition label to find the best options.
Here’s what to consider before choosing a bottle of iced tea.
Beware of Sugar The biggest downfall of bottled iced tea is that many varieties are packed with added sugar.
“You may think you’re choosing a healthier option when you grab a bottle of iced tea instead of a soda, but in many cases, you’re getting about as much sugars,” says Amy Keating, R.D., a nutritionist at Consumer Reports.
The current Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend that less than 10 percent of your daily calories come from added sugars—that’s less than 50 grams if you’re following a 2,000-calorie diet. The American Heart Association says that the maximum daily added sugar intake should be no more than 25 grams for women and 36 grams for men.
Drinking sweetened iced tea can get you close to or over the max. For example, a 23-ounce can of Arizona Peach Tea has 69 grams of sugar and 259 calories. An 18.5-ounce bottle of Pure Leaf Sweet Tea has 42 grams of sugar and 160 calories.
The same goes for some iced tea/lemonade brands. Snapple Half ‘n’ Half, for instance, has 51 grams of sugar and 210 calories in 16 ounces. Compare those numbers to the 240 calories and 65 grams of sugar in a 20-ounce bottle of Coke.
Some brands will tout that they contain real sugar, cane sugar, or honey. But such products aren’t better for you necessarily than those with high fructose corn syrup.
“It’s still all added sugar,” Keating says.
Diet iced teas will be low in sugar and calories, but they may contain sugar substitutes, such as aspartame or sucralose. Recent research suggests that consumption of alternative sweeteners may be linked to increased risk of conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and obesity.
Terms such as “less sweet” or “a tad sweet” often mean that the tea has less sugar than a similar product from the same brand. But the amount can vary from brand to brand.
For example, Gold Peak Slightly Sweet Tea has 24 grams of sugar and 90 calories in 18.5 ounces compared to 48 grams of sugar and 190 calories in the brand’s Sweet Tea. And Honest Tea’s Organic Lori’s Lemon Tea, which is labeled “a tad sweet” has 15 grams of sugar and 60 calories in a 16-ounce bottle. But in both cases, the less sweet versions still pack a lot of added sugar.
Your best bet is to look for iced teas labeled unsweetened. These may have flavors (such as lemon) added, but they’ll be calorie-free and won’t contain any type of sweetener.
“If you like, mix in a teaspoon of sugar or agave syrup,” says Keating. “You’ll get some sweetness but with a lot less sugar than in a presweetened version.”
Don’t Count on Getting Antioxidants If part of the reason you’re choosing iced tea is because you want to drink a dose of antioxidants, be warned that there may not be many in a bottle.
“Bottled teas are very low in antioxidants compared to freshly brewed tea,” says Vinson, whose lab has analyzed a variety of teas.
In his testing, black tea bags steeped for five minutes in hot water contained the highest amount of polyphenols—a type of antioxidant found in black tea— (over 600 milligrams per cup) while bottled black tea contained the least (68 milligrams per cup).
Vinson theorizes that the ratio of water to tea is higher in bottled teas than in tea you make at home, so the resulting beverage has a lower antioxidant level. Flavorings and sugar eliminate tea’s naturally bitter taste but may also dilute antioxidants.
Don’t Think Green is Better There are a lot of good things about green tea. Some research suggests that the type of antioxidant in green tea, called epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), may help lower risk of certain cancers and reduce the risk of heart disease.
But do not be blinded by green tea’s health halo. Many bottled green teas—just like bottled black teas—are loaded with added sugars and other not-so-healthy ingredients. For example, a 14.5-ounce bottle of Teavana Peach Green Tea has 21 grams of sugars and 90 calories.
Rebellious Infusions are a pre-brewed, ready-to-drink organic liquid green tea that is ready when you are.

A food labeled “natural” does not mean it is organic. As regulated by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), the use of the term “all natural” only applies to the production (not farming) of meat, poultry, and eggs. For other products, this term legally does not guarantee anything under the USDA.
It should also be noted that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not developed a definition for “natural” or its derivatives. However, the agency does not object to the use of the term, provided the food does not contain added color, artificial flavors, or synthetic substances.

“Certified Organic” means a third-party certifying organization accredited by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has verified that a product meets the standards established by the National Organic Program (NOP). This program was created by the USDA in 2002. The NOP regulates all aspects of organic food production, including handling, labeling, processing, delivery, and retail sale. It also accredits state agencies and private organizations to inspect and certify organic facilities.
Our certifier is Quality Assurance International.

The USDA requires that a third-party certifier inspect the production and handling of organic products.
Rebellious Infusions are certified through Quality Assurance International (QAI), an independent, organic-focused organization established in 1989. QAI, like Rebellious Infusions, is committed to organic integrity. QAI was one of the first USDA-accredited certifiers. The QAI and USDA logos found on our packaging ensure Rebellious Infusions’ utmost compliance.
