Altınbaş Light Tea, Unsweetened Calories

Steep Altınbaş black tea in hot water and stop when it reaches the strength you like. For a lighter cup, use a shorter steep; avoid boiling the leaves for a long time, which can make the tea taste bitter.

“Light” describes the product’s name or lighter style; it does not by itself establish a different tea plant or a specific caffeine level. This version is unsweetened, so it has no added sugar as described.

Yes, it can affect sleep because black tea contains caffeine. If you are sensitive to caffeine or notice that tea delays your sleep, have Altınbaş Light Tea earlier in the day rather than close to bedtime.

Yes. Brew Altınbaş Light Tea, let it cool, then serve it over ice. Add lemon or mint for flavor; adding sugar or syrup would change its unsweetened character.

It can be served with milk, but Turkish black tea is more commonly enjoyed plain, often in a small glass. Milk changes the flavor and color; it is not needed to make the tea taste complete.

Yes, black tea compounds can reduce absorption of non-heme iron when tea is consumed with an iron-rich meal. If you are trying to improve iron absorption, drink Altınbaş Light Tea between meals instead.

Refrigerate brewed Altınbaş Light Tea in a clean, covered container rather than leaving it out for an extended period. Discard it if its smell or appearance changes, and make a fresh brew for the best flavor.

Yes, you can choose it instead of coffee, but it still contains caffeine and may feel less stimulating depending on how it is brewed. Its familiar black-tea flavor also makes it a natural fit for breakfast.
