Hard iced tea's have gained popularity in recent years and Twisted Tea is one of the most popular canned versions on the market. You may wonder if it actually contains tea and caffeine?
A 12 ounce can of Twisted Tea will contain roughly 30 mg of caffeine. This is very similar to a cup of black tea brewed without any alcohol.
Is Twisted Tea Made With Actual Tea
Unlike the other popular hard tea version called a Long Island Iced Tea, Twisted Tea does contain real tea. It is brewed using real black tea leaves. This is where the caffeine content of Twisted Tea comes from.
Is Twisted Tea's Caffeine Content Considered High?
At 2.5 mg of caffeine per ounce and 30 mg for the entire can the overall caffeine content of Twisted Tea is considered to be low. A typical 12 ounce cup of coffee for comparison will contain between 90 and 180 mg of caffeine.
Since the FDA states 400 mg of caffeine to be generally considered as safe for healthy adults, drinking these should not be an issue. However we suggest limiting your intake due to the alcohol content of these drinks which comes in around 5% per can.
