Nutrition Facts on Peach Tea

Pure tea is a healthy alternative to plain water, free of calories and sweeteners and full of the antioxidants known as flavonoids. Peach-flavored tea can be an equally healthy drink, depending on how it's made. Some peach tea is pure tea with a bit of peach added, while other types of peach tea pack more ingredients and calories.

Tea Bags and Loose Tea

Tea companies sell a variety of peach-flavored teas. Some peach tea comes in bags, while other varieties are sold loose. Some peach tea is made for brewing hot, while other peach tea is made for cold-brewing. The peach flavor may be incorporated into black tea or green tea, caffeinated tea or decaffeinated tea. Or it may be part of an herbal blend that involves no tea at all.

Bottled Tea

Manufacturers also sell premade peach teas in bottles and cans. These teas may contain ingredients other than just tea and water. Snapple's Peach Tea, for instance, is sweetened with sugar. The company also sells a diet peach tea that contains an artificial sweetener. Bottled peach tea may be made with black or green tea.

Calories, Carbohydrate, Fat and Protein

Plain green and black teas flavored with peach contain no calories, carbohydrate, fat or protein unless you take them with milk or sugar. Bottled peach teas are often different, depending on their ingredients. An 8 ounce serving of Snapple's Peach Tea, for instance, contains 90 calories and 23 grams of carbohydrates, all from sugars.

Caffeine

Many people drink peach tea as much for the caffeine as for the flavor. Each 8 ounce serving of Lipton's black tea with peach flavor, for instance, contains 40 milligrams of caffeine, while Bigelow's loose peach black tea contains 30 to 60 milligrams per serving. That's less than many types of coffee and about the same as many sodas, according to MayoClinic.com. Decaffeinated peach teas contain very little caffeine.

Flavonoids

Tea is a good source of flavonoids, which are antioxidants that occur naturally in certain foods, and peach tea is no exception. Lipton's peach black tea, for instance, contains 105 milligrams of tea flavonoids in each 8 ounce serving.
