Tea calories per fl oz (no ice): 0–14 across 31 of 42 named USDA examples

Across 31 of 42 named USDA examples, a fl oz (no ice) contains 0–14 calories. Their listed weights span 30–31 g, so each calorie value is calculated from that example's own gram weight and published calories per 100 g. The remaining 11 specifically named examples do not list that exact household measure.

Compare all 42 food records, nutrition tables and USDA sources

The 42 exact records in this guide report 0–239 calories in the records' own listed source servings and 0–55 calories per 100 grams. Those are observations from named database records—not a universal range or an estimate of an unseen plate.

Match my meal

Start with the description closest to what you ate

For Tea, begin by separating “Tea, bubble” from “Tea, kombucha.” Choosing a card filters this source set; it does not infer the portion or fill in ingredients the chosen description does not name.

What this page compares

Named source records, not one universal meal

This guide keeps 42 named USDA records in view: 42 direct matches. All sit within “Tea.” The exact descriptions remain the unit of comparison; the familiar heading is only the doorway into the evidence.

Why these records appear together: The deterministic grouping rule “normalized first description segment” placed these 42 records together under the exact grouping key “tea.” That rule determines membership before any nutrition result is read.

For Tea, this page can compare 42 named records from FDC 2710508 through FDC 2710509. It cannot observe which preparation was eaten, recover unnamed additions, or supply the eaten grams.

Editor’s decision brief

The three facts to carry into the table

Carry the denominator, exact identity, and strongest observed contrast into every number below.

Portion

360–435 g before composition

The largest source amount is 1.2× the smallest. Read per-serving calorie differences with that mass gap in view.

Composition

55 kcal separates the fixed-weight endpoints

The lower endpoint is “hibiscus”; the higher is “bubble.” This isolates density, not ingredient causation.

Discriminator

1.6 g protein gap per 100 g

Of protein, fiber, and sodium, the strongest normalized contrast is between “chamomile” (0.0 g) and “with milk” (1.6 g).

Observed source examples

Three landmarks inside this source set—not universal endpoints

The cards are ordered by calories in each record's listed serving. Serving weights differ, so use per-100-gram values to compare composition. These selected records do not define a calorie range for every tea.

Important: “Lower” begins with Tea, hot, hibiscus; “higher” ends with Tea, bubble, using each record’s own source amount. Those labels order this selected set only—they are not endpoints for every tea meal.

Full comparison

Compare every selected FNDDS record

For Tea, serving columns preserve each record’s own listed amount, while calories per 100 g hold weight constant. A dash means the cited record does not supply that field; it does not mean the nutrient is absent.

On smaller screens, focus the table and scroll horizontally to read every column.

Portion analysis

Serving total and calorie density answer different questions

The listed source amounts run from 360 to 435 grams—a 75-gram gap before composition enters the comparison. Their own source servings run from 0 calories for “hibiscus” to 239 for “bubble.” At a fixed 100 grams, “hibiscus” is 0 calories and “bubble” is 55—a fixed-weight separation of 55 calories. For Tea, the serving view answers “how much is in the database portion?”; the 100-gram view answers “how concentrated is the matched record?” Neither reveals how many grams were actually eaten.

The scaling rule: multiply a per-100-gram value by eaten grams ÷ 100. The arithmetic is exact; the result is only as defensible as the record match and portion estimate.

Preparation analysis

The long description carries the evidence

The published descriptions distinguish forms such as “bubble”, “hot, with milk”, “iced, brewed, black, decaffeinated, pre-sweetened with sugar”, “iced, brewed, green, unsweetened”, and “kombucha”. The source formulations contain 31 distinct ingredient codes; examples that appear in only part of the set include sugars, granulated, beverages, water, tap, drinking, beverages, tea, black, brewed, prepared with tap water, and beverages, tea, black, brewed, prepared with tap water, decaffeinated. On this Tea page, those rows make the records inspectable, but they are not a controlled experiment: they cannot tell us that one named input, by itself, caused a nutrient difference.

Database precision is not meal certainty. Retain the exact description beside the number so later corrections remain possible.

What changes the comparison

Four drivers worth checking before choosing a record

The family label “Tea” cannot resolve the differences between Tea, bubble and Tea, kombucha. The four checks below identify the record wording, source weight, and formulation evidence that can.

  1. 01

    Source weight before serving calories

    The source amounts span 360–435 grams. Compare per 100 grams before reading a serving-calorie gap as a composition gap.

  2. 02

    The words that split the family

    Representative record-level distinctions include “bubble”, “hot, with milk”, “iced, brewed, black, decaffeinated, pre-sweetened with sugar”, “iced, brewed, green, unsweetened”, and “kombucha”. Those phrases are evidence for choosing a record, not decorative subtitle text.

  3. 03

    Formulation evidence, with limits

    31 source-input codes appear across the selected records. Their presence and listed weights describe USDA formulations, not finished plated proportions.

  4. 04

    The unresolved plate

    Even “Tea, bubble” leaves the eaten grams and unnamed oils, sauces, toppings, substitutions, or leftovers unresolved. Preserve those Tea unknowns for correction instead of converting them into false precision.

Record matching

Match identity first; scale quantity second

Read the source name as a sequence of decisions. First confirm that tea is the right meal family. Then resolve the phrases that actually separate this set—“bubble”, “iced, bottled, black, decaffeinated, unsweetened”, “iced, brewed, green, decaffeinated, pre-sweetened with sugar”, and “kombucha”—before comparing gram weight. If a package, menu, or known recipe provides a closer first-party description, prefer it and keep this USDA record as a transparent fallback.

A practical matching checklist

  1. Read the complete Tea source description, including preparation and additions.
  2. Compare the listed source weight with the amount actually eaten.
  3. Prefer a current package or restaurant source when a specific branded item is known.
  4. Record toppings, sauces, cooking fat, sides, and substitutions that the selected description does not name.

Decision support from the exact records on this page

Turn source data into a better next decision

These conclusions and reading paths are computed from 42 exact records behind Tea source-record guide. Links are chosen by record identity, controlled contrast, formulation input, nutrient spread, or serving context—not by loose keyword similarity.

Equal-weight result

Tea, bubble is higher in calories per 100 g

Tea, bubble reports 55 kcal versus 0 kcal for Tea, hot, hibiscus: a 55 kcal difference when both are normalized to 100 g.

Inspect the underlying evidence

Check the weight before comparing serving totals

Source amounts span 360–435 g

Tea, ginger uses USDA source amount (360 g), while Tea, bubble uses USDA source amount (435 g). Use per 100 g for equal-weight composition; use the serving column only when those named source amounts answer your question.

Choose the record before reading the number

Tea, iced, bottled, black and Tea, iced, bottled, black, decaffeinated, diet are not interchangeable

The page keeps both records at the same 100 g denominator and makes Sugar wording (No matching controlled term in the source name versus diet wording) the explicit record-description contrast. It does not show that the wording difference caused a nutrient difference. Pick the description that matches the food in front of you rather than averaging away the distinction.
