TEA · DAY 11
What went into your tea? 我杯茶加咗乜？
兩行糖，一樽茶
兩樽都係紅茶，正面都寫住「沖泡茶」，點知邊樽加咗糖？反轉個樽，先睇成分，再睇營養標籤上一份有幾多。今日用 Pure Leaf 兩張美國版標籤做例子：兩張都寫一份係一樽，容量都係 547 毫升，所以可以直接比。
無糖款列出紅茶同檸檬酸，總糖係每樽 0 克。甜茶款亦有紅茶同檸檬酸，但成分表多咗糖。甜茶每樽總糖 42 克，當中 42 克係添加糖。「當中」好重要：係同一份糖，唔好將兩行加埋計成 84 克。
如果倒半樽甜茶落杯，按呢張標籤計就係約 21 克糖。下次買茶，可以先問：「我手上呢款，一份係成樽，定只係其中一部分？」其他容量、口味同地區嘅配方可能唔同，以手上嗰張標籤為準。
Two sugar lines, one bottle
Two bottles can both say “brewed tea” on the front. To find out what went into them, turn them around. Start with the ingredients, then check the serving size. On the two US Pure Leaf labels we looked at, one serving is one 547 mL bottle, so the numbers can be compared directly.
The unsweetened version lists black tea and citric acid, with 0 g of total sugars per bottle. The sweet version lists sugar alongside the tea and citric acid. Its 42 g of total sugars includes 42 g of added sugars. That word “includes” matters: those two lines describe the same sugar here. They do not add up to 84 g.
Pour half the sweet bottle into a glass and that works out to about 21 g of sugar, based on this label. Next time you pick up a tea, check whether a serving means the whole bottle or just part of it. Sizes and recipes can vary, so use the label on the bottle in your hand.
