Starbucks Chamomile Tea contains 0 kcal — it is one of only a handful of completely calorie-free items at Starbucks, alongside the Iced Americano at 11 kcal, Cold Brew at 5 kcal and Americano at 7 kcal. The 0 kcal figure holds at every cup size from Short to Venti as the drink is chamomile flowers and hot water only — no milk, no syrup, no base. Adding honey, sugar or milk would add calories but the tea itself contributes none.

Starbucks Chamomile Tea contains 0 kcal, 0g fat, 0g saturated fat, 0g carbohydrate, 0g sugar, 0g protein, 0g salt and 0mg caffeine per cup at any size. It is the only item across the entire Starbucks menu — food and drink — to contain zero in every single nutritional category. The figures do not change with cup size as the drink is simply chamomile steeped in hot water with no other ingredients.

Starbucks Chamomile Tea contains 0mg of caffeine — it is completely caffeine-free. Chamomile is a herbal infusion made from dried chamomile flowers, not from the Camellia sinensis tea plant, which means it contains no caffeine naturally. This makes it one of only two caffeine-free options at Starbucks alongside the Mint Majesty Tea and the caffeine-free Frappuccino creme drinks. It is suitable for those avoiding caffeine entirely — including during pregnancy, where the NHS advises a maximum of 200mg per day — and for children, who the NHS advises should avoid caffeine where possible.

Starbucks Chamomile Tea contains 0g of sugar — no free sugars, no natural sugars, no lactose. It is the only item at Starbucks with absolutely no sugar in any form. For context, the next lowest sugar drinks are the Espresso at 0g, Americano at 0.1g and Iced Americano at 0.1g — these are coffee-based and contain caffeine. Chamomile Tea is the only completely sugar-free, caffeine-free option on the entire Starbucks menu. No sugar is added at preparation — the drink is served unsweetened by default. Adding a sweetener, honey or syrup would introduce sugar.

No. NOVA 1 — unprocessed. Chamomile Tea is dried chamomile flowers steeped in hot water. No additives, no flavourings, no preservatives, no industrial processing beyond drying the flowers and packaging them in a tea bag. It is one of only a small number of NOVA 1 items available at Starbucks — alongside Espresso, Americano, Cold Brew, Iced Americano and Mint Majesty Tea. The vast majority of items at Starbucks are NOVA 4 ultra-processed; Chamomile Tea is as unprocessed as it is possible for a menu item to be.

Starbucks Chamomile Tea contains none of the 14 major allergens. It does not contain milk, wheat/gluten, egg, soya, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, celery, mustard, sesame, lupin, molluscs or sulphites. It is one of the simplest allergen profiles of any item on the Starbucks menu alongside the Americano, Iced Americano, Cold Brew, Espresso and Mint Majesty Tea. People with ragweed or chrysanthemum allergies should be aware that chamomile is in the same plant family and may rarely cause a cross-reaction — this is uncommon but worth noting for those with known plant allergies. Always tell your barista if you have a severe allergy before ordering.

Yes. Starbucks Chamomile Tea is suitable for both vegetarians and vegans. It contains no animal-derived ingredients. It is one of the very few items at Starbucks that is both vegan and NOVA 1 — the least processed food classification. It is also gluten-free by ingredients, though Starbucks prepares all drinks in stores where allergens including gluten are present.

Yes — Starbucks Chamomile Tea is one of the very few items at Starbucks that is genuinely appropriate for children. It contains 0mg of caffeine, 0g of sugar, 0 kcal and no allergens. The NHS advises children should avoid caffeine where possible; chamomile is naturally caffeine-free. There is no sugar to consider against daily free sugar limits. The only practical consideration for younger children is that the drink is served hot — asking for it at a cooler temperature is advisable.

Starbucks Chamomile Tea contains 0mg of caffeine, which means it does not contribute to the NHS recommended pregnancy maximum of 200mg per day. As a herbal tea, chamomile is caffeine-free by nature. Some healthcare sources advise caution with large quantities of chamomile during pregnancy due to its traditional association with uterine stimulation in very high doses — however, the evidence base for this concern is limited and a standard cup of chamomile tea at Starbucks is not considered a risk. If in doubt, consult a midwife or GP. It is one of the most pregnancy-compatible hot drinks available at Starbucks on a caffeine basis.

All three teas at Starbucks contain 0 kcal and 0g of sugar when served plain. The key difference is caffeine: Chamomile Tea contains 0mg, Earl Grey contains approximately 40mg and English Breakfast Tea approximately 45mg per Tall. Chamomile is a herbal infusion from dried flowers with no caffeine; Earl Grey and English Breakfast are both made from Camellia sinensis black tea leaves which naturally contain caffeine. For those avoiding caffeine entirely — whether during pregnancy, in the evening, or for sensitivity reasons — Chamomile Tea is the only caffeinated-beverage-free hot tea option at Starbucks alongside Mint Majesty.

At 0g of sugar, Starbucks Chamomile Tea uses none of the adult daily free sugar allowance of 30g. This means the full daily sugar budget remains available for food — more so than any other drink on the Starbucks menu. Pairing with a Butter Croissant (5.4g) leaves 24.6g of the daily budget intact. Pairing with a Victoria Sponge (43g) exceeds the daily limit on the food alone — illustrating that the drink's neutrality cannot compensate for high-sugar food choices. Chamomile Tea is the only Starbucks drink that adds zero sugar to any food pairing, making it the most sugar-neutral drink companion on the entire menu.

Starbucks Chamomile Tea registers 0g across all macronutrient categories — 0 protein, 0 fat, 0 carbohydrate. However, chamomile contains trace amounts of apigenin, a plant flavonoid found in chamomile flowers which has been studied for its potential mild sedative and anti-anxiety properties. These compounds are present in chamomile tea but at low concentrations — the evidence for meaningful effects at the dose in a standard cup is limited. The primary value of Chamomile Tea in a nutritional context is what it avoids: 0 kcal, 0g sugar, 0mg caffeine, 0 allergens and NOVA 1 processing status make it the most nutritionally neutral and least burdensome item on the Starbucks menu.

Starbucks Chamomile Tea is the only item on the entire Starbucks menu — food or drink — to score zero across every nutritional category: 0 kcal, 0g sugar, 0mg caffeine, 0 allergens and NOVA 1. No other item achieves this combination. It is suitable for adults, children, pregnant women, vegans, and those with any of the 14 major allergens. It is one of a very small number of NOVA 1 items at Starbucks. For anyone at Starbucks who wants something warm and comforting with absolutely no nutritional impact and no caffeine, Chamomile Tea is the only choice on the menu that delivers all of this simultaneously.
