HeyTea Jasmine Green Tea: Price, Calories, Caffeine, and Ingredients (2026)

HeyTea’s Jasmine Tea is the plainest drink on the menu: brewed jasmine green tea, served hot or over ice, with nothing layered on top. It is also the tea that quietly runs through most of the menu. The Cloud Jasmine Tea, the Jasmine Milk Tea, the Kale Boost Tea, and most of the Boom fruit teas all start with the same jasmine green tea base.

This guide covers what is actually in the cup, what it costs at US stores right now, how many calories and how much caffeine to expect, and how it compares with the other jasmine drinks HeyTea sells.

What Is HeyTea Jasmine Green Tea?

Jasmine green tea is green tea that has absorbed the scent of fresh jasmine flowers. It is not a blend of tea leaves and dried petals, and in good versions it is not flavored with oil or syrup. The aroma comes from the flowers themselves during processing.

HeyTea describes its version simply as jasmine green tea made with more than 3,000 jasmine blossoms. That is the wording the company uses on its official store listings in the US. You will see other numbers online, such as “scented seven times” or “6,000 flowers per kilogram.” We could not find HeyTea attaching those figures to the fresh-brewed Jasmine Tea in the US, so we are not repeating them as fact here.

HeyTea does use a higher grade of jasmine tea in some drinks. Its King Jasmine line (for example, King Jasmine Guava and Pistachio Cloud King Jasmine) is listed as using “9-scented” King Jasmine tea. The standard Jasmine Tea is a different, everyday base.

Why the Same Tea Shows Up Everywhere on the Menu

Look at HeyTea’s US ingredient lists and jasmine green tea appears again and again:

• Cloud Jasmine Tea (Original): jasmine green tea topped with cheese cloud, a drink HeyTea dates back to 2012
• Crisp Grape Boom: grapes and jasmine green tea, which HeyTea calls a best-seller since 2018
• Kale Boost Tea: kale, chia seeds, green grapes, apples, lemons and jasmine green tea
• Mango Grapefruit Boom, Guava Green Grape, Oat Mango Boom, Coconut Mango Blue and Cloud Mango: all built on jasmine tea

So if you order the plain Jasmine Tea once, you will know what the backbone of those fruit teas tastes like before you spend $10 or more on one. If the Kale Boost Tea is on your list, our Kale Boost Tea guide breaks it down in more detail.

How Jasmine Green Tea Is Made

The traditional process is called scenting. Green tea is made first, then mixed with fresh jasmine buds picked during the day. Tea makers wait until evening, when the blossoms start to open and release their fragrance, then combine them with the dry leaves. The tea needs several hours to take on the scent. Afterward the spent flowers are removed and the leaves are dried again.

For higher grades, this cycle is repeated with fresh flowers several times. Each round adds depth to the aroma and softens the grassy edge of the green tea. That is why two jasmine teas can smell completely different even though both are “jasmine green tea”: the base leaf, the number of scenting rounds and the quality of the flowers all change the result.

Cheaper jasmine teas skip this and use jasmine flavoring instead. Naturally scented tea usually smells lighter and more like fresh flowers than perfume.

Jasmine Tea Price in the USA

This is where online information gets messy. Different HeyTea menu sites list the plain Jasmine Tea at $3.99, $4.99 or $5.49. HeyTea does not publish a national US price list on its website, and prices can differ by store, by city and by ordering channel.

The most reliable public figure we found is HeyTea’s own listing on Uber Eats for several New York stores (including Lafayette, Columbia University and the Manhattan brand page), where the Jasmine Tea was $5.49 in October 2026. Delivery apps sometimes carry higher prices than the counter, so your in-store price may be lower. We could not confirm the $3.99 or $4.99 figures through an official source.

Here is how the main jasmine drinks were priced on those same New York listings:

A few practical notes on price:

• Check the app or the menu board before you go. Seasonal promotions (such as buy one, get one free offers that sometimes appear on delivery apps) can change what you pay.
• Delivery adds fees. Service fees, delivery fees, and tips sit on top of the menu price.
• Prices outside New York may differ. HeyTea now has stores in several states, and pricing is not guaranteed to match Manhattan.

Ingredients

HeyTea’s Jasmine Tea has a short ingredient list:

• Jasmine green tea, brewed from tea leaves
• Water
• Ice (iced version only)
• Sweetener, only if you ask for it

There is no milk, cream, cheese foam, fruit or tea powder in the drink as standard. HeyTea markets its US drinks as made with real tea rather than instant tea powder, a point the company stressed when it launched in New York.

HeyTea does not publish which sweetener it uses for this specific drink in the US, so if you are tracking sugar closely, ask the staff or order it with no added sugar.

Calories and Sugar

Unsweetened, this is about as close to zero calories as a café drink gets. The USDA lists brewed green tea at roughly 1 calorie per 100 grams. A regular HeyTea cup is commonly listed at around 500 ml, so a full cup of plain tea works out to about 5 calories, with no fat and essentially no carbohydrates.

Every calorie beyond that comes from added sugar. HeyTea has not released official US nutrition data for the Jasmine Tea, so the table below is not HeyTea’s data. It is simple math (sugar provides about 4 calories per gram) to help you estimate what sweetening does:

That explains why menu sites disagree on the calorie count (we have seen 0, 30, 50 and 70 listed). Each is likely describing a different sweetness level. If calories matter to you, the cleanest order is no added sugar. You can compare other drinks on our HeyTea nutrition menu.

Caffeine in HeyTea Jasmine Tea

Jasmine flowers contain no caffeine, but the green tea underneath does. HeyTea does not publish caffeine figures, so any number online is an estimate, including ours.

Here is how we arrive at a range. The US Food and Drug Administration puts an 8-ounce cup of green tea at about 30 to 50 mg of caffeine. A 500 ml cup holds a little over two 8-ounce servings. If HeyTea brews at a similar strength, a full hot cup would land somewhere around 60 to 100 mg. An iced cup holds less liquid tea because ice takes up space, so it will usually be lower.

For context:

The FDA cites 400 mg a day as an amount healthy adults can generally have without dangerous effects. It also notes that the body can take four to six hours to clear half of the caffeine you drink, so a large jasmine tea late in the evening may affect sleep. If you are sensitive to caffeine, pregnant, or taking medication, it is worth checking with your doctor about your limit.

What It Tastes Like: Hot vs Iced

Expect a light, floral cup with a clean finish. The jasmine smell reaches you before the first sip, and the green tea underneath is gentle rather than grassy. Brewed well, there is very little bitterness.

Hot jasmine tea is more aromatic, since heat carries the floral scent. Iced tea is brighter and more refreshing, and the aroma is softer. Both use the same base tea, so the choice comes down to the weather and your mood.

Which HeyTea Jasmine Drink Is Best for You?

If you are trying to pick the best jasmine green tea drink at HeyTea, it depends on what you want from the cup:

The plain Jasmine Tea, the Cloud Jasmine Tea and the Jasmine Milk Tea make a good tasting ladder. Start with the plain tea to learn the base, then try how cheese cloud and milk change it.

If you lean toward matcha rather than jasmine, our guides to the Cloud Matcha Latte and the Supreme Matcha Latte are good next reads.

How to Order the Best Jasmine Green Tea at HeyTea

A few simple choices make a real difference with a drink this plain:

1. Start with no added sugar. Sweetness hides the floral aroma, which is the whole point of jasmine tea. If it tastes too plain, add a little sugar next time rather than going straight to full sweetness.
2. Pick hot if aroma matters most. Pick iced if you want something refreshing.
3. Go easy on ice. Less ice means more tea in the cup and less dilution as it melts. Ask whether your store offers a light ice option.
4. Drink it fresh. Green tea flavor fades and can turn flat the longer it sits, so iced orders taste best soon after pickup.
5. Use it as a test run. Order the plain tea before committing to a pricier fruit tea built on the same base.

HeyTea Little Jasmine Milk Tea (Bottled)

You may also find a bottled HeyTea jasmine drink at Asian grocers in the US. Online retailer Yami sells HeyTea’s Little Jasmine Green Tea Milk Tea in an 11.83 fl oz bottle. It is a different product from the fresh drink served in stores.

According to the product listing, it uses baked green tea from Yunnan and Sichuan paired with jasmine from Hengzhou, infused seven times. It is made with real milk rather than non-dairy creamer and is marketed as low sugar and low fat. The list price was $3.79 (on sale for $2.89 when we checked), though it was showing as sold out.

Because it contains milk, it is closer to the Jasmine Milk Tea than to the plain Jasmine Tea.

Allergens and Dietary Notes

Ordered plain, the Jasmine Tea contains no dairy, and its only ingredients are tea, water and optional sweetener. That makes it suitable for most dairy-free and plant-based diets.

Keep two things in mind:

• Shared equipment. HeyTea stores handle milk, cheese cloud, coconut and pistachio for other drinks. HeyTea itself flags milk, coconut and pistachio on several menu items. If you have a serious allergy, tell the staff when you order.
• Health claims. Green tea is widely enjoyed, and the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NIH) reports no safety concerns for green tea consumed as a beverage by adults. It also notes that research has not reached firm conclusions on most of the health benefits often attributed to it. Think of this drink as a low-calorie choice, not a health treatment.

Is HeyTea Jasmine Tea Worth It?

At around $5.49, it is one of the least expensive drinks on HeyTea’s US menu and the most direct way to taste the tea the brand builds so much else on. It is a smart pick if you want something light, low in calories and caffeinated without the intensity of coffee.

It will not satisfy a craving for something sweet or creamy, and you can brew good jasmine green tea at home for less. What you are paying for is a fresh-brewed cup from a shop whose main business is tea, plus a reliable preview of the rest of the menu.
