How we judge this, and the sources
The answer comes from the food's composition, not from opinion: its Nutri-Score grade on the open 2023 algorithm, a traffic light for sugar, salt, saturated fat and fiber per 100 g, and the share of daily reference amounts in a typical serving (for salt, sugar, fiber and vegetables, those of the WHO). It rates the food's nutrient profile; it is not medical advice. Formulas, thresholds and every source are on the methodology page; last checked against the sources on November 1, 2026. The short food description was written by our language model (AI) — how we check the text.

Vitamins and minerals in green tea
No single vitamin or mineral reaches 10% of the Daily Value per 100 ml; the value of this food is elsewhere (see the nutrition table above).
| Nutrient | Per 100 ml | Serving: mug, 250 ml | % DV |
|---|---|---|---|
| Riboflavin (B2) | 0.06 mg | 0.14 mg | 11% |
| Manganese | 0.18 mg | 0.46 mg | 20% |
*Where the vitamin numbers come from
Vitamins and minerals come from the USDA FoodData Central record “Beverages, tea, green, brewed, regular” (FDC ID 171917, SR Legacy; public domain), checked October 14, 2026; the record was matched to this food by calories, protein and fat. % DV is per serving, against the FDA Daily Values used on Nutrition Facts labels (2,000-calorie diet). The table lists nutrients that reach at least 2% DV per 100 ml; the rest are absent or trace. Varieties, seasons and brands differ, and cooking in water leaches some vitamin C and B vitamins.

Green Tea: calories by type

Green Tea: swaps and alternatives
No need to swap: green tea gets grade B, the second-best of five, and nothing is in the red on the per-100 ml traffic light: sugar 0 g (red is over 11.25 g), saturated fat 0 g (over 2.5 g) and salt 0 g (over 0.75 g). We only suggest a swap when it fixes a real problem. How we pick swaps.
