The Truth About Caffeine, Calories, and Sugar in bubble teas, iced teas, etc.
Amount of Caffeine, Calories, and Sugar per Cup of Our Daily Beverage
When it comes to your daily drink, knowing what’s inside your cup can help you make choices that match your vibe — whether that’s a clean, low-calorie refresh or a sweet, treat-yourself kind of day. At Y Not Today, we offer drinks for every mood and lifestyle — from zero-calorie iced teas to rich, customizable bubble teas and fruity ades that keep things light and refreshing.
1. Bubble Teas (Black or Green Tea Base)
Our bubble teas at Y NOT TODAY cafe are made with your choice of black tea (moderate caffeine) or green tea (lighter caffeine).
A regular cup with classic milk and tapioca pearls typically has:
- Caffeine: ~40–60 mg
- Calories: ~250–350 kcal (depending on the sugar level)
- Sugar: ~25–40 g
- Fat: ~4–8 g
- Protein: ~3–6 g
Want a lighter option? You can adjust sugar levels or swap milk for lighter alternatives. You can also add protein powder to boost your drink, turning it into a more balanced, post-workout treat.
2. Hot Teas
For something simple and soothing, our hot teas (jasmine, ginger, chrysanthemum, flower blooming, butterfly pea, oolong, and more!) deliver warmth without the extras.
- Caffeine: ~30–50 mg (black) or ~20–35 mg (green)
- Calories: 0 kcal (unsweetened)
- Sugar: 0 g (unless you add some)

They’re ideal for anyone cutting back on calories or sugar but still craving comfort.
3. Ades (Strawberry, Blueberry, Mango, Lychee)
Our ades are fruit-based sparkling drinks — refreshing, colorful, and fun. These are great caffeine-free options when you want something energizing without the buzz.
Typical nutrition per cup:
