Herbalife Tea: What It Is, What It Costs, and How to Save

What Is Herbalife Herbal Tea Concentrate?

Herbalife tea is an instant powdered tea concentrate made from green and black tea extracts, carrying about 85mg of caffeine and roughly 5 calories per serving. It dissolves in hot or cold water, so there is no bag to steep and no brewing time. Herbalife sells it in the United States as Herbal Tea Concentrate, and this site's Herbal Tea Concentrate product page carries the full US specification.

The product is not a weight-loss product and it is not a meal replacement. It is a low-calorie caffeinated drink. People generally buy it as a substitute for coffee, soda, or canned energy drinks rather than as a supplement in its own right.

How Much Caffeine Is in Herbalife Tea?

Herbalife Herbal Tea Concentrate contains approximately 85mg of caffeine per serving, sourced from green and black tea extracts. That is close to a standard 8 oz cup of brewed coffee, which typically runs 80mg to 100mg. It is well under a 16 oz canned energy drink, which commonly carries 150mg to 200mg.

If you are counting caffeine across a day, treat one serving of Herbalife tea as roughly one cup of coffee. Two servings put you near 170mg, which is still inside the 400mg daily ceiling that US health authorities describe as acceptable for most healthy adults. People who are pregnant, nursing, sensitive to caffeine, or managing a heart condition should ask a doctor before adding any caffeinated product.

How Many Calories Are in Herbalife Tea?

Herbalife Herbal Tea Concentrate has only about 5 calories per serving, which is what makes it a practical swap for higher-calorie caffeinated drinks. A 12 oz regular soda runs about 140 calories. A large sweetened coffee drink can run 300 calories or more. Swapping one 250-calorie coffee drink a day for Herbalife tea removes roughly 245 calories a day from a diet.

The 5-calorie figure applies to the concentrate mixed with water. Adding milk, plant milk, or sweetener changes it. A tea latte made with 8 oz of dairy milk adds roughly 120 calories, which is still less than most coffee-shop equivalents but is no longer a 5-calorie drink.

How Much Does Herbalife Tea Cost in the United States?

Herbalife Herbal Tea Concentrate retails for approximately $46.75 for the 1.8 oz container in the United States, and each container makes roughly 50 servings. That works out to about $0.94 per cup at full US retail, which already undercuts most coffee-shop drinks.

US Herbalife Wellness VIP members pay less, because the tier discount comes off the retail price at checkout:

• •

  Wellness VIP Bronze, 15% off: about $39.74 a container, or roughly $0.79 a cup

• •

  Wellness VIP Silver, 25% off: about $35.06 a container, or roughly $0.70 a cup

• •

  Wellness VIP Gold, 35% off: about $30.39 a container, or roughly $0.61 a cup

Free Loyalty Member accounts in the United States pay full retail on a standard order. The free tier earns and redeems Rewards Points but carries no product discount, so a Loyalty Member pays the same $46.75 as a non-member. Full US pricing for every tier is on the Herbalife membership cost page.

Canada is a separate market running the Preferred Customer program rather than Wellness Rewards, so none of the US tier pricing above applies there. Canadian pricing is covered on the Herbalife Preferred Customer Canada page.

Is a Herbalife Wellness VIP Membership Worth It for Tea Alone?

For most people buying only tea, no. The US Wellness VIP membership costs $19.95 a year and pays for itself at about $133 of annual spend at the Bronze tier. One container of Herbal Tea Concentrate is $46.75, so tea alone reaches break-even at roughly three containers a year.

Three containers is about 150 servings. Someone drinking Herbalife tea most days will pass that easily and should join. Someone buying one container a year to try it will not, and is better off on the free Loyalty Member tier until their order volume rises. The honest version of this math is worked through in Is Herbalife Wellness VIP Worth $19.95?.

The calculation changes quickly once other products enter the basket. A US member buying tea alongside Formula 1 shakes clears the $133 Bronze break-even inside two months of ordinary use. Joining takes a few minutes on the how to join page.

What Flavors Does Herbalife Tea Come In?

Herbalife Herbal Tea Concentrate is sold in the United States in Original, Peach, Lemon, Raspberry, Chai, and Cinnamon, with seasonal and limited-edition flavors released occasionally. Availability of individual flavors varies over time, so the flavor list on Herbalife's own product page is the one to trust on any given day.

Original is the plain green-and-black tea base and is the one most people start with. The fruit flavors work better iced. Chai and Cinnamon suit hot preparation and a splash of milk. Mixing two flavors in one cup is common and does not change the caffeine or calorie figures per serving.

How Do You Make Herbalife Tea?

Mix about half a teaspoon of Herbalife Herbal Tea Concentrate into 6 to 8 oz of hot or cold water and stir until it dissolves. The powder dissolves in cold water directly, which is what separates it from tea that has to be steeped and then chilled.

Three common preparations:

• •

  Hot: half a teaspoon into 8 oz of hot water, stirred and drunk immediately

• •

  Iced: dissolve half a teaspoon in a small amount of hot water first, then add cold water and ice

• •

  Tea latte: mix with warm dairy or plant milk, adding sweetener to taste

Half a teaspoon is the standard serving and the basis for the 85mg caffeine and 5-calorie figures. Doubling the scoop doubles both. People often over-scoop on their first container and find the result too strong, so start at the stated serving.

Who Should Be Careful With Herbalife Tea?

Anyone limiting caffeine should treat Herbalife tea as a caffeinated drink rather than a herbal one, because 85mg per serving is coffee-strength. The word "herbal" in the product name refers to the tea extracts, not to the absence of caffeine.

Specific groups who should check with a doctor first: people who are pregnant or nursing, people with high blood pressure or a heart condition, people on medication that interacts with caffeine, and anyone who reacts badly to coffee. Drinking it late in the day will affect sleep in the same way an afternoon coffee does.

Herbalife tea is also not a substitute for water. It contributes to daily fluid intake, but a caffeinated drink is a poor primary hydration source at high volume.

Does Buying Herbalife Tea Earn Rewards Points?

Yes. Herbalife Rewards Points are earned on product purchases in the United States at every tier, including the free Loyalty Member tier, and Herbal Tea Concentrate orders earn them like any other product. Points are redeemable against future orders.

Subscribe and Earn orders carry a points multiplier that rises with tier: 1.25x at Wellness VIP Bronze and 1.5x at Wellness VIP Silver and Gold. Free Loyalty Member accounts also get 5% off Subscribe and Earn orders, which is the only discount available at that tier. How the points system works in practice is covered in How Do Herbalife Rewards Points Work in the US?.

Is There a Discount Code for Herbalife Tea?

No. There is no Herbalife coupon code for Herbal Tea Concentrate or for any other Herbalife product in the United States. The mechanism that lowers the price is the Wellness VIP membership tier, which applies 15% to 35% off at checkout automatically with nothing to enter.

Sites advertising Herbalife discount codes are generally either recycling expired promotions or collecting clicks. The full explanation of what does and does not work is in Is There a Herbalife Discount Code?.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much caffeine is in a serving of Herbalife tea?

Herbalife Herbal Tea Concentrate contains approximately 85mg of caffeine per serving, sourced from green and black tea extracts. That is comparable to a standard 8 oz cup of brewed coffee. Two servings a day puts a person at roughly 170mg, well inside the 400mg daily figure US health authorities describe as acceptable for most healthy adults.

How many servings are in a container of Herbalife tea?

Does Herbalife tea help with weight loss?

Herbalife Herbal Tea Concentrate is not a weight-loss product and should not be bought as one. It contains about 5 calories per serving, so it can replace higher-calorie drinks without adding calories itself. Any weight change from that swap comes from the calories removed, not from the tea.

How much does Herbalife tea cost with a membership in the US?

Herbal Tea Concentrate retails for approximately $46.75 in the United States. With a Herbalife Wellness VIP membership costing $19.95 a year, US members pay about $39.74 at Bronze, $35.06 at Silver, and $30.39 at Gold. The free Loyalty Member tier carries no product discount and pays full retail on standard orders.

Can you drink Herbalife tea cold?

Yes. Herbalife Herbal Tea Concentrate is a powder that dissolves in cold water, so it can be made iced without steeping or chilling. Dissolving the half-teaspoon serving in a small amount of hot water first, then adding cold water and ice, gives the most even result. The caffeine and calorie figures are unchanged.

Is Herbalife tea available in Canada?

Herbalife sells Herbal Tea Concentrate in Canada, but Canada runs the Preferred Customer program rather than the US Wellness Rewards program. The US Wellness VIP tiers and the $19.95 US annual fee do not apply in Canada, and Canadian pricing is set separately. Canadian buyers should check the Herbalife Preferred Customer Canada details rather than the US figures.

Do you need a membership to buy Herbalife tea?

No. Anyone in the United States can buy Herbalife Herbal Tea Concentrate at the approximate $46.75 retail price without joining anything. A Wellness VIP membership at $19.95 a year lowers that to between $39.74 and $30.39 depending on tier, and pays for itself at about $133 of annual spend at the Bronze tier.

This site is run by an independent Herbalife distributor. Product figures reflect US information available at the time of writing and can change. Herbalife tea is a caffeinated beverage, not a medical product, and nothing here is medical advice. Check with a doctor before adding caffeine if you are pregnant, nursing, or managing a health condition.
