This combination of flavor variety, eye‑catching branding, and value pricing has made Arizona Tea a staple in convenience stores and supermarkets.

How Much Caffeine is in Arizona Tea?

The caffeine content in Arizona Tea depends on the type of tea and serving size. Black tea varieties generally have less caffeine than coffee but more than most herbal teas, while green tea blends fall in the middle. Arizona’s Energy Tea contains significantly more caffeine due to added stimulants.

• Arizona Iced Tea with Lemon (Black Tea) – 15–20 mg caffeine per 16 fl oz.
• Arizona Green Tea with Ginseng and Honey – 30–40 mg per 16 fl oz.
• Arizona Diet Green Tea – Similar caffeine to the regular green tea version.
• Arizona Arnold Palmer Half & Half – 15–20 mg per 16 fl oz.
• Arizona RX Energy Herbal Tonic – 70–80 mg per 16 fl oz.

Compared to coffee (about 95 mg per 8 fl oz), most Arizona teas are mild in caffeine, making them a gentle pick‑me‑up rather than a strong stimulant.

Calories and Sugar

While caffeine is a key consideration, Arizona Tea is also known for its sweetness. Many varieties contain a high amount of sugar, though diet and zero‑sugar options are available.

• Arizona Iced Tea with Lemon – 90 calories and 24 g sugar per 8 fl oz (about 270 calories and 72 g sugar per 23 fl oz can).
• Arizona Green Tea with Ginseng and Honey – 70 calories and 17 g sugar per 8 fl oz.
• Diet Green Tea – 0 calories, sweetened with aspartame or sucralose.
• Fruit‑Flavored Teas – Often similar or higher in sugar than the classic lemon tea.
• Energy Tea – Higher sugar content to match its energy‑drink profile.

For those watching sugar intake, diet or zero‑sugar Arizona options provide the same flavor without the calorie load.

Ingredients Overview

Arizona Tea’s ingredients vary by flavor, but most are brewed from real tea leaves and sweetened with sugar or alternative sweeteners. Some varieties include added botanicals or vitamins.

• Brewed Tea (Black or Green) – The base for most products.
• Sugar or High Fructose Corn Syrup – Primary sweeteners in classic varieties.
• Honey – Used in green tea blends for natural sweetness.
• Citric Acid – Adds tartness and preserves freshness.
• Ginseng Extract – Found in green tea blends for potential health benefits.
• Natural Flavors – Enhance taste profiles.

This mix of traditional tea ingredients and flavor enhancers creates Arizona’s signature taste.
