The Dutch Bros. coffee company has retail locations and franchises in the western region of the United States. The locations specialize in drive-through coffee sales, with an expansive beverage menu that also includes a variety of teas. The company's Peach Jet Tea is a menu selection at most Dutch Bros. locations.
Ingredients
The Dutch Bros. company infuses its flavored iced teas with Torani brand syrups to achieve the taste profile. Peach Jet Tea's main ingredients are brewed iced tea and Torani Peach syrup. The Torani syrup itself has 70 calories per 1 oz. serving.
Calories and Carbohydrates
The Dutch Bros. company manufactures the Jet Tea branded beverages and suggests that a serving size is 16 oz. As prepared, this serving contains 417 calories, with a carbohydrate content of 103 mg. Sugar is the main source of the tea's carbohydrates, at 93 mg per serving, according to the nutritional information from Dutch Bros.
Nutrition
Each 16 oz. serving of Peach Jet Tea has less than 1 g of protein, 3 g of fiber and no fat. The sodium content is 31 mg. The tea provides some vitamins and minerals, including 11 mg of calcium, 1.5 mg of iron, 127 mg of vitamin C and 12 international units of vitamin A.
Healthier Alternatives
Plain brewed green, black or orange pekoe tea has no calories. The addition of flavoring syrup to this tea pushes an otherwise calorie-free beverage into a category that is approximately one-fifth of the standard 2,000 total daily calories recommended for an adult. The majority of the drink's calories come from sugar, which contains 16 calories per teaspoon. Consuming just one serving of Peach Jet Tea is the equivalent of eating 26 tsp. of sugar. Regular tea prepared with sugar-free fruit syrup is a lower-calorie option. Brewing tea at home will let you control the ingredients, additives and sweeteners.
