My English Breakfast tea states it contains 2g of protein. - eviltoast

How/Why? Is that an oblique nod to insect protein, how does tea contain protein? 🤢 + 3 CALORIES?!

Edit: there’s no milk or anything milk-related

    I don’t know if this is the case in the US, but a lot of food products here in the UK have a version of the nutritional information which is “prepared as directed”. Breakfast cereal is often shown as “x grams with y ml semi-skimmed milk” for example. Is your tea doing something like this and giving you values for brewing it and adding a splash of milk, perhaps?

      No, it hasn’t anything to do with milk. Usually, they have the side by side comparative chart for with/without milk

        I was curious and looked on the tazo website.

        For Tazo Awake English breakfast tea the label says “based on tea brewed with freshly boiled water for 5 minutes (no milk, no sugar), an 8 fl oz cup typically contains insignificant amounts of calories, fats, carbohydrates, sugars, protein and sodium”.

        Seems weird for yours to have such a significant difference even if its a slightly different type, could you post an image?
