Household Ingredients Compared  ›  Bottled Tea (Singapore)

Bottled tea: what's actually in it?

Three different products share the bottled-tea shelf. Unsweetened brewed tea is water, tea and at most an antioxidant and an acidity regulator — no sugar at all. Sweetened tea is the same brewed tea with sucrose, sugar or fructose added, usually as the second ingredient. And flavoured iced tea is a sweetened tea built around a tiny amount of tea extract (often 0.1–0.5%) plus fruit juice from concentrate, flavourings and sweeteners. The front of the bottle rarely makes the distinction clear; the ingredient list does — especially the tea percentage, where it is printed.

This page covers bottled and canned tea sold in Singapore: green tea, black tea, oolong tea, jasmine tea and flavoured teas, sweetened and unsweetened variants as separate rows. Milk tea is a separate category and is not included here — Pokka Premium Milk Tea and similar milk-tea products are excluded, even where a search result for them turned up. Herbal / barley drinks are also a separate category. This page does not give a health score or a "best" pick, and no prices are shown.

The headline, in 30 seconds

• The unsweetened teas are the shortest lists on the page. Pokka Oolong Tea is water, oolong tea, sodium bicarbonate and ascorbic acid. Ayataka Japanese Green Tea is water, green tea (1%), antioxidant (sodium ascorbate), matcha powder (0.05%) and acidity regulator (sodium bicarbonate). Ito En Oi Ocha is purified water, green tea and ascorbic acid (vitamin C) — flagged below, as that list is from a US/world listing, not a transcribed SG pack.
• "Green tea" on the front can mean 0.4% tea. Fuze Tea Jasmine Green Tea lists green tea at 0.4%, with sucrose second. Pokka Jasmine Green Tea lists green tea second, before sucrose. Ayataka states its green tea at 1%. The tea percentage, where printed, is the honest comparison — not the size of the word "tea" on the label.
• Sweetened iced teas are mostly sugar water with a little tea extract. Lipton Ice Tea Peach (UK list, flagged) is water, sugars (sucrose, fructose), acids, black tea extract (0.12%) and peach juice from concentrate (0.1%), plus a steviol sweetener. Fuze Tea Ice Lemon Tea (Coca-Cola SG) lists black tea at 0.5% plus tea extract at 0.03%, with sucrose and two non-nutritive sweeteners.
• Chrysanthemum tea is a different plant, not a tea leaf at all. Yeo's Chrysanthemum Tea Less Sugar lists chrysanthemum flower & liquorice extract and sugar; Yeo's Chrysanthemum Pu'er Tea lists water, chrysanthemum flower extract, sodium carbonate and pu'er tea leaves extract. Do not read them as green/black tea rows.
• Heaven and Earth is now Fuze Tea in Singapore. The Jasmine Green Tea formerly sold as Heaven and Earth is the same Coca-Cola product now sold as Fuze Tea Jasmine Green Tea — same list, new name. Do not count it twice.
• Most of the shelf is still unverified. Pokka's No Sugar, Honey, Peppermint, Sencha and Houjicha green teas, its Zero Sugar fruit teas, Authentic Tea House Da Hong Pao Oolong and Jin Ban Chrysanthemum, F&N Seasons' full range, Suntory Tea+ PLUS and plain Suntory Oolong, and most Lipton SG variants were all found on sale in Singapore but had no verbatim SG ingredient list retrievable online in this pass. They are in seen-but-not-verified below, not panelled on a guess.

At a glance

* Yeo's Chrysanthemum Tea Less Sugar is transcribed exactly as Open Food Facts gives it — the list as retrieved starts with the extract, with no water entry. That looks incomplete against every other tea on this page; it is quoted as found and flagged in its card, not "fixed". Panelled with verbatim lists: 16 products. Of these, 11 rest on Singapore sources (Open Food Facts Singapore entries, Open Food Facts entries stating Singapore as a country sold, or Coca-Cola SG) and 5 are flagged non-SG / SG-unconfirmed lists panelled for comparison only: Ito En Oi Ocha and Ito En Jasmine Green Tea (US/world), F&N Seasons Ice Lemon Tea (Malaysia only), Lipton Ice Tea Peach (UK) and Suntory Jasmine Oolong Tea (SG sale not confirmed in the source); see each card. Seen-but-not-verified: see the list below.

Prices are deliberately not shown here: they change weekly and would go stale. This site compares ingredients only.

Unsweetened brewed tea — no sugar

Sweetened green tea

Sweetened black / oolong tea — flavoured iced tea

Chrysanthemum tea — sweetened

Seen but not verified — do not panel until checked

• Pokka green teas (SG range, per Pokka SG official site and Shopee SG): Jasmine Green Tea No Sugar, Honey Green Tea, Peppermint Green Tea, Sencha Japanese Green Tea No Sugar, Houjicha Japanese Roasted Green Tea No Sugar, Japanese Green Tea (plain). All confirmed on sale in Singapore; no verbatim SG list retrieved for any of them in this pass. Do not assume they share the sweetened Jasmine list above — the No Sugar variants in particular must be checked separately.
• Pokka fruit / iced teas (SG range, per Pokka SG promotions and Shopee SG): Ice Lemon Tea Zero Sugar, Ice Peach Tea Zero Sugar and Less Sugar, Ice Passion Fruit Tea Zero Sugar, Ice Lychee Tea, Ice Lychee Green Tea Zero Sugar, Lychee Oolong Tea, Peach Tea, Lemon Tea (cans), Chrysanthemum Tea, Teazzle Sparkling Ice Tea (Lemon and other flavours, SG's first carbonated tea, 2018). No verbatim SG list retrieved for any of these in this pass. Pokka Sparkling Peach / Lychee flavoured drinks (Open Food Facts SG, carbonated, erythritol + sucralose) are sparkling fruit drinks, not tea, and are not panelled here.
• Pokka Premium Milk Tea (and Less Sugar variant): excluded — milk tea is a separate category. Its Open Food Facts list (water, black tea, milk, sucrose…) was retrieved but is not used on this page.
• Authentic Tea House (Coca-Cola SG): Da Hong Pao Oolong Tea (sugar free) and Jin Ban Chrysanthemum Tea (low in sugar), launched in Singapore in 2018 alongside Ayataka. No verbatim ingredient list retrieved for either in this pass.
• F&N Seasons (SG range): Green Tea Jasmine, White Chrysanthemum Tea, Ice Peach Tea, Strawberry Flavoured Tea (limited edition, March 2025, Nutri-Grade B per F&N's announcement — grade quoted from the announcement, not verified on a pack), and the 250ml Tetra packs of Ice Lemon Tea / Green Tea Jasmine / White Chrysanthemum Tea. Only the Malaysian Ice Lemon Tea list is panelled above, flagged; no SG list retrieved for any Seasons variant.
• Lipton Ice Tea (SG variants): Lemon, Mango, Raspberry — and any SG Lemon Less Sugar variant. Only the UK Peach list is panelled above, flagged; no SG list retrieved.
• Fuze Tea (SG, other flavours): Coca-Cola SG's Fuze page lists Jasmine Green Tea and Ice Lemon Tea with full lists (panelled above); other Fuze flavours sold in Singapore (e.g. Peach, Mango, Blueberry Jasmine) had no SG list retrieved, and the Australian / NZ Fuze lists retrieved are different formulations — not used as SG lists.
• Suntory (SG / import): Tea+ PLUS Oolong Tea (sugar-free, launched in Singapore 2021 at FairPrice / Cheers), plain Suntory Oolong Tea, Suntory Osmanthus Oolong Tea (sugar-free), Suntory Oolong Tea Low Sugar and Oolong Tea with Orange Peel. No verbatim list retrieved for any of these in this pass. Suntory Tennensui Premium Morning Milk Tea / transparent lemon tea are milk-tea / parallel-import curiosities, not panelled here.
• Ito En (SG, other lines): Barley Tea (Mugicha) 500ml and Oi Ocha Genmaicha / roasted-rice variants, per Ito En Singapore. No verbatim SG list retrieved; the US Oi Ocha with Roasted Rice list (purified water, roasted rice, green tea, barley, corn, ascorbic acid, matcha) is a US list and is not panelled as an SG product.
• Yeo's (SG, other teas): Chrysanthemum Tea (regular, not Less Sugar), Snow Chrysanthemum Tea, Orchid Chrysanthemum Tea (special edition, 2024, selected retailers), Jasmine Green Tea and any Yeo's green-tea variants. No verbatim SG list retrieved for any of these.
• Other brands seen on SG shelves / listings: Vita Jasmine Green Tea / No Sugar Jasmine Tea Drink (HK list retrieved, countries sold: Hong Kong only — not panelled), Tao Ti Green Tea with Honey (list retrieved, SG sale not confirmed), Chin Chin Green Tea Drink Jasmine, Arizona Green Tea with Honey, Nestea Iced Tea Lemon, and house-brand / own-label bottled teas at FairPrice, Giant and Sheng Siong. None had a verified SG pack list retrieved in this pass.
• Import / specialty channels: Don Don Donki, Meidi-Ya, Le Petit Depot, Mustafa, Little Farms, RedMart, Lazada and Shopee Singapore were checked by web search in this pass; they list Japanese/Korean/Taiwanese bottled teas (including Ito En, Suntory and Kirin lines) but no verbatim SG pack list was retrieved from them. In-store pack photography is the only way to close these — retailer pages routinely carry no ingredient section, and marketplace listings truncate mid-list.
• 7-Eleven / Cheers convenience teas: Pokka Passion Fruit Tea Zero Sugar and other single-serve teas were seen in 7-Eleven SG promotions (4–17 November 2026), but no verbatim list was retrieved; convenience-only sizes are not assumed to share the supermarket-bottle lists above.

Nutrition — what the numbers say

All figures in the table are as sold, per 100 ml. Sugars here are total sugars as printed, not added sugars, unless the source states added sugars — the ingredient list remains the evidence for added sugar (sucrose, sugar, fructose, honey). No official Singapore Nutri-Grade (A–D) was found printed on any of these tea listings in this pass, so none is quoted here; no grade has been assigned. (F&N's announcement that its limited-edition Strawberry Flavoured Tea is "graded B" is a brand announcement, not a pack transcription, and that product is not panelled.)

Salt and sodium: salt = sodium × 2.5. The table shows sodium as printed (in mg) with the salt equivalent in brackets. Sodium is not presented as salt, and salt is not presented as sodium.

Total vs added sugars: most Singapore packs list total sugars, not added sugars. A total-sugars figure is never labelled here as "added sugar". Where a source states an added-sugars figure separately, it is noted in the research notes. The ingredient list remains the evidence for added sugar versus naturally occurring sugars.

Open Food Facts is a community database and is flagged as secondary where used: the pack and the retailer/brand nutrition section take precedence if they disagree. Figures marked "not stated" were not in the source retrieved; they are not estimated, borrowed from another variant, or copied across flavours. Per-serving-only figures are quoted as printed and flagged, never converted to per-100 ml.

Observed numbers, no verdict: Fuze Tea Jasmine Green Tea lists 5.5 g sugar per 100 ml, Pokka Jasmine Green Tea lists 4.6 g, and Pokka Peach Oolong Tea Less Sugar lists 4.2 g. The two Ito En unsweetened teas list 0 g sugar per 100 ml on their (non-SG) entries. No per-100 ml energy, protein, fat or sodium figure was verified in this pass for any panelled tea except the Fuze Jasmine energy/carbohydrate figures above — the table does not fill those cells from other variants or from per-serving figures. Coca-Cola SG publishes per-serving (300 ml) nutrition for Fuze Tea, but the search snippet retrieved mixed figures from several Fuze flavours on the same page and they could not be attributed to a single flavour, so no Coca-Cola SG per-serving figure is used here; do not convert a 300 ml figure to per-100 ml.

Seen but not verified (nutrition): no per-100 ml nutrition panel was verified in this pass for Pokka Oolong Tea, Pokka Ice Lemon Tea, Pokka Iced Lemon Honey Tea, Ayataka Japanese Green Tea, Fuze Tea Ice Lemon Tea, Yeo's Chrysanthemum Pu'er Tea, Yeo's Chrysanthemum Tea Less Sugar, Yeo's First Harvest Green Tea, Suntory Jasmine Oolong Tea, F&N Seasons Ice Lemon Tea, Lipton Ice Tea Peach, and all products in seen-but-not-verified above. Their ingredient panels are unchanged; their nutrition figures are not estimated here.

How to read a bottled tea label — the jargon, in plain English

Unsweetened / no sugar / sugar free

No sugar or sweetener was added. The list should be water, tea and at most an antioxidant (ascorbic acid / sodium ascorbate) and an acidity regulator (sodium bicarbonate). "No sugar" on a green tea does not mean the same as "less sugar" — less-sugar teas still list sucrose or sugar.

Less sugar / low sugar

A relative claim against the brand's regular version. Check the list: Pokka Peach Oolong Less Sugar still lists sucrose third, at 4.2 g sugar per 100 ml. The claim tells you it is lower than something; the list tells you what is actually in it.

Tea percentage (0.4%, 1%, 30%)

Where printed, the percentage is the share of tea in the drink. Fuze Jasmine Green Tea states green tea at 0.4%; Ayataka states green tea at 1%; Yeo's First Harvest states green tea at 30%. A low percentage does not mean the product is mislabelled — it means most of the bottle is water and sugar, and the tea is a flavouring-level ingredient. Where no percentage is printed, the order of the list is the only guide.

Tea extract vs brewed tea

"Black tea" / "green tea" in a list usually means brewed tea; "tea extract" / "black tea extract" means a concentrated extract added back, often at 0.1–0.5%. Iced teas built on extract (Lipton 0.12%, Fuze Ice Lemon 0.03% extract plus 0.5% black tea) are a different product from a brewed unsweetened tea, even when the front says "tea" in the same size type.

Sodium bicarbonate / sodium ascorbate / ascorbic acid

Not sweeteners. Sodium bicarbonate (E500) is an acidity regulator; ascorbic acid (vitamin C, E300) and sodium ascorbate are antioxidants that keep the tea from oxidising. They appear in unsweetened and sweetened teas alike.

Sucrose / sugar / fructose / honey / sorbitol

All sweeteners, in descending order of how often they appear here. Sucrose is table sugar; "sugars (sucrose, fructose)" means both were added; honey is a sweetener too, even when the name leads with it; sorbitol is a sweetener/humectant. Sweeteners such as sucralose, acesulfame K and steviol glycosides add sweetness without sugar — Fuze Ice Lemon Tea and Seasons Ice Lemon Tea list both sugar and non-nutritive sweeteners.

Antifoaming agent (dimethylpolysiloxane)

Listed in both Fuze Tea products. It stops foam forming during bottling; it is a processing aid, not a flavouring or sweetener.

Chrysanthemum / pu'er / matcha / hojicha / sencha

Chrysanthemum is a flower infusion, not a tea leaf. Pu'er is a fermented tea. Matcha is powdered green tea (Ayataka, 0.05%). Hojicha is roasted green tea; sencha is steamed green tea. The name tells you the leaf/process; the list tells you how much of it is in the bottle.

"No added sugar" vs "no sugar"

Tea contains no fruit sugar to confuse the issue, so for tea the two phrases point the same way — but "less sugar" is not either of them. Always check the list for sucrose/sugar/fructose rather than trusting the front.

What this page is not

• Not a health score, and not a "best" pick. Unsweetened brewed tea, sweetened green tea and flavoured iced tea are different products, and this page does not rank them.
• Not a taste test, and not a price comparison. Prices change weekly; ingredients change less often, but still change.
• Not complete. The Pokka No Sugar / Honey / Peppermint / Sencha / Houjicha range, Authentic Tea House Da Hong Pao and Jin Ban Chrysanthemum, the full F&N Seasons and Lipton SG ranges, Suntory Tea+ PLUS and most import teas were inventoried as on sale in Singapore but remain unverified for the reasons in seen-but-not-verified. Five panelled rows are flagged non-SG lists, not SG pack claims.
• Not a milk-tea page. Milk-tea products are a separate category and are excluded here, even when they share a brand name with a tea on this page.

Sources and method

Checked 5–6 November 2026 from: Open Food Facts Singapore entries (Pokka Jasmine Green Tea 1.5L, Pokka Oolong Tea 0.5L, Pokka Ice Lemon Tea 250ml, Pokka Iced Lemon Honey Tea, Ayataka Japanese Green Tea 300ml/1.5L, Yeo's Chrysanthemum Pu'er Tea, Yeo's First Harvest Green Tea); Open Food Facts world entries (Pokka Peach Oolong Less Sugar, Ito En Oi Ocha, Ito En Jasmine Green Tea, Yeo's Chrysanthemum Tea Less Sugar, Suntory Jasmine Oolong Tea, F&N Seasons Ice Lemon Tea — Malaysia only, Lipton Ice Tea Peach — UK); Coca-Cola Singapore official Fuze Tea page (Fuze Jasmine Green Tea, Fuze Ice Lemon Tea, with ingredient lists); Pokka Singapore official site (tea range inventory, no ingredient sections retrieved); Ito En Singapore site (Oi Ocha / Jasmine / Barley Tea range inventory, no ingredient sections retrieved); Shopee Singapore listings (Pokka range inventory); F&N Seasons announcement via MiniMe Insights (Strawberry limited edition, 250ml Tetra range — inventory only). FairPrice, Cold Storage, Giant, Sheng Siong, Don Don Donki, Mustafa, Meidi-Ya, Le Petit Depot, Little Farms, RedMart, Lazada and Shopee Singapore were checked by web search for this category; no FairPrice/Cold Storage ingredient section was retrieved for any bottled tea in this pass (Cold Storage publishes no ingredient lists; FairPrice ingredient sections exist for some categories but none was retrieved for bottled tea here), so the panelled SG rows rest on Open Food Facts Singapore and the Coca-Cola SG brand site, flagged as secondary / brand sources in each card. Full per-fact source list is in the accompanying research notes. Nutrition section added 5–6 November 2026: figures are standardised to per 100 ml where the source gives per-100 figures; per-serving-only figures are labelled as such and are not converted; sugars are total sugars as printed, not added sugars, unless the source states added sugars; salt = sodium × 2.5. Where a full pack list could not be verified, the product is in seen-but-not-verified instead of being panelled.
