Does matcha, green tea, and genmai cha have calories?

21.October, 2008

I have a pack of tea from Japan, it’s the loose tea kind. This tea is a mix of green tea leaves, genmai cha, and matcha powder. On the side of the bag, though, it says that 1 cup is 366 kcal. As far as I know, neither green tea, genmai cha, or matcha have ANY calories. But perhaps the manufacturer assumes you are EATING the genmai (rice)? I drink a ton of this stuff every day, and I wasn’t aware that I was drinking so many calories!

thats the strangest thing i’ve ever heard of. I didn’t think even if you ate the tea leaves it would be that many calories. something is definitely wrong with that. I wouldn’t worry about caloric intake in tea, it’s very low, if anything.
