HEYTEA Caffeine Content
Caffeine on this menu runs from nothing at all to an estimated 130 mg in a single 16 oz cup. That is a wider spread than most drink chains carry, because HEYTEA sells both plain fruit builds with no tea in them and stacked matcha lattes.
These figures are estimates
HEYTEA does not publish per drink caffeine for its US menu. Every number on this page is estimated from the tea base, its oxidation level and the brew strength the drink uses. They are useful for comparison between drinks and should not be treated as lab measurements. If caffeine intake matters medically for you, treat any published figure for any tea shop the same way. The disclaimer sets out exactly which figures on this site are published and which are modelled.
Caffeine by Tea Base
The base decides the caffeine, not the fruit or the cap. Once you know which base a drink uses, you can predict roughly where it lands.
| Tea base | Estimated caffeine | Why it sits there | Drinks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stone ground matcha | 85 to 130 mg | You drink the whole leaf as powder rather than an infusion, so more of the caffeine reaches the cup. Stacking shots multiplies it. | 9 |
| Black tea | 55 to 60 mg | Fully oxidised leaf brewed strong enough to stand up to milk. The highest caffeine of the infused teas. | 6 |
| Roasted oolong | 45 to 50 mg | Partly oxidised, sitting between green and black. HEYTEA uses a roasted style brewed at moderate strength. | 2 |
| Longjing (dragon well) green tea | 45 mg | Pan fired green tea, brewed stronger than jasmine because the leaf carries more body. | 3 |
| Jasmine green tea | 35 to 40 mg | The lightest infused base on the menu and the one under most of the fruit teas. | 23 |
| No tea base | 0 mg | Coconut milk and brown sugar builds with no tea in them at all. | 4 |

The 4 Caffeine Free Drinks
These carry no tea at all. They are built on coconut milk or plain milk, which is what makes them the only orders on the board with no caffeine in them.
Coconut Mango Boom
$6.99 · 350 calories · 0 mg caffeine
Mango pulp blended into coconut milk with no tea base, so it drinks like a dessert.
Coconut Mango Blue
$8.49 · 350 calories · 0 mg caffeine
The coconut mango build with a butterfly pea layer floated on top for the two tone look.
Supreme Brown Sugar Bobo Milk
$7.49 · 400 calories · 0 mg caffeine
The same bobo build on straight milk with no tea, and the only caffeine free bobo cup.
Cheese Brown Sugar Bobo Milk
$7.99 · 560 calories · 0 mg caffeine
Brown sugar bobo milk under a cheese cloud cap, the highest calorie drink at 560.
One thing worth flagging. Supreme Brown Sugar Bobo Milk at $7.49 is caffeine free, and Supreme Brown Sugar Bobo Milk Tea at $7.99 is not. The names differ by one word and the drinks differ by a black tea base carrying roughly 60 mg. If you are avoiding caffeine, that is the pair to be careful with.
How Matcha Ends Up Above Coffee
Brewed tea is an infusion. Hot water pulls some of the caffeine out of the leaf and the leaf is thrown away with the rest still in it. A strong 16 oz black tea lands around 55 mg by that route.
Matcha works the other way. The leaf is stone ground into powder and whisked into the liquid, so you drink all of it. Nothing gets left behind in a strainer. A single strength matcha latte reaches roughly 95 mg on that mechanism alone.
Triple Supreme Matcha Latte stacks three matcha layers into the same cup. At an estimated 130 mg it goes past a standard 8 oz brewed coffee, which typically carries 80 to 100 mg. It costs $7.99, the same as the single strength version, so the caffeine difference comes free with the order.
The same mechanism explains the bitterness. Caffeine is a bitter compound, so a drink carrying more of it tastes sharper. That is why Wicked Matcha reads harsh and why a 50 percent sugar setting works better on matcha than 0 percent does.
Ordering Around Caffeine
Want the most caffeine
Triple Supreme Matcha Latte at $7.99, roughly 130 mg. Add Extra Matcha for $0.99 to push it higher.
Want none at all
Coconut Mango Boom at $6.99 or Supreme Brown Sugar Bobo Milk at $7.49. Both are built without tea.
Want a little, late in the day
Any jasmine green tea build sits near 35 to 40 mg, which is roughly a third of a matcha latte.
Watch the near identical names
Milk Tea versions carry black tea. Milk versions do not. One word separates 60 mg from zero.
HEYTEA Caffeine Questions
It ranges from 0 mg up to an estimated 130 mg. Triple Supreme Matcha Latte at $7.99 sits at the top. Jasmine green tea builds land near 35 to 40 mg.
These are estimates based on the tea base and its brew strength. HEYTEA does not publish per drink caffeine for the US menu, so no site can give you an exact figure.
Triple Supreme Matcha Latte, estimated at around 130 mg. It stacks three matcha layers in one 16 oz cup.
Wicked Matcha follows at roughly 110 mg, then the single strength matcha lattes at about 95 mg.
Yes, 4 of the 47 drinks contain no tea at all: Coconut Mango Boom, Coconut Mango Blue, Supreme Brown Sugar Bobo Milk, Cheese Brown Sugar Bobo Milk.
All of them are built on coconut milk or plain milk with fruit or brown sugar syrup. Everything else on the menu carries caffeine from its tea base.
An 8 oz brewed coffee typically carries 80 to 100 mg. A single strength HEYTEA matcha latte sits around 95 mg in a 16 oz cup, so it lands in similar territory.
Triple Supreme at roughly 130 mg goes above a standard cup of coffee. That is unusual for a tea drink and worth knowing if you are ordering one late in the day.
Because you drink the leaf rather than an infusion of it. Matcha is stone ground whole leaf suspended in the liquid, so the caffeine that would stay in the leaves of a brewed tea ends up in the cup.
That is also why matcha reads more bitter. The same mechanism carries both the caffeine and the astringency.
Only one does. Extra Matcha at $0.99 adds roughly 35 mg, which makes it the cheapest way to raise the caffeine in any drink.
Pearls, jellies and cheese cloud caps carry no caffeine. The toppings page covers what each one actually adds.
No. Sugar level changes the syrup only. The tea base is brewed the same way at every setting, so a 0 percent sugar matcha latte carries the same caffeine as a 100 percent one.
Ice level does shift it slightly, because less ice means more brewed tea in the same 16 oz cup.
From the tea base, its oxidation level and the brew strength each drink uses, applied to published caffeine ranges for those tea types at a 16 oz serve.
Every figure on this page is labelled as an estimate because that is what it is. Inventing a precise number the chain has not published would be less useful than saying so plainly.
