Herbalife Instant Herbal Beverage Original with Tea Extracts is the large 102 g tin, providing 60 servings of 1.7 g rather than the 30 in the 51 g size. Each serving is prepared with 200 to 240 ml of hot or cold water and contains 87.5 mg of caffeine and 6 kcal, with no fat. Made with green tea leaf extract at 17.7 % and orange pekoe tea leaf extract at 4.7 %, with natural flavouring, hibiscus flower powder and cardamom seed extract. Herbalife Independent Member.
60 Servings Instead of 30
This is the same Original powder as the small tin, in double the quantity. The serving stays half a teaspoon, the caffeine stays 87.5 mg and nothing in the nutrition table changes; what changes is how long it lasts. At one or two glasses a day, 60 servings covers a month to two months rather than two weeks to one. Worth taking once you know Original is the one you drink. The 51 g tin is the smaller version, and Mango Dragon Fruit is the other tin in this size.
What Is Actually in the Tin
Two tea extracts from the same plant, Camellia sinensis: green tea leaf extract at 17.7 % and orange pekoe tea leaf extract at 4.7 %. Added caffeine powder takes each serving to 87.5 mg. The rest is maltodextrin as the carrier, natural flavouring, hibiscus flower powder and cardamom seed extract. Original is the plain one, with no sweetener added, which is what separates it from the Lemon, Raspberry and Peach tins, which are sweetened with stevia.
📦 102 g, 60 Servings
Double the small tin, same half-teaspoon serving. One lid to keep closed instead of two, and fewer reorders.
☕ 87.5 mg Caffeine Per Serving
From the tea extracts and from added caffeine powder. The figure is printed on the label, so you know what a glass contains rather than having to guess.
🍃 6 kcal Per Serving
A 1.7 g serving carries 6 kcal, no fat and 0.1 g of sugars. Practically nothing, which is the point of a powdered tea rather than a bottled drink.
🧊 Hot or Cold, Same Powder
It dissolves in cold water as readily as hot, so the same tin covers a hot mug in winter and an iced glass in summer. No brewing, no bags, no waiting.
Caffeine: What the Label Says
Worth reading before you buy, because the caffeine here is not incidental. One serving is 87.5 mg. The label’s directions are one or two glasses per day, so two servings come to 175 mg. The label prints this notice:
Notice: It is recommended not to exceed a daily intake of 400 mg of caffeine from all sources (200 mg for pregnant or breast-feeding women).
All sources means everything in the day — coffee, tea, cola, energy drinks and this. If you already drink coffee, count this in alongside it rather than on top of it.
How to Prepare It
1. Hot
Half a teaspoon (1.7 g) into 200 to 240 ml of hot water. Stir. It dissolves without leaving grounds.
2. Cold
Same half teaspoon into 200 to 240 ml of cold water, then ice. Stirring first and adding ice afterwards keeps it from clumping.
3. Adjust the strength
Half a teaspoon is the stated serving and the basis for every figure on this page, including the 87.5 mg of caffeine. Using more powder scales that figure up with it, and takes the 60 servings down.
