Our drinks swap out white sugar for zero-calorie sugar substitutes. Genki Forest sparkling water is sweetened with erythritol and sucralose, and R Tea is sweetened with erythritol. Sucralose is made by processing sugar molecules, and is calorie-free. Erythritol is made by fermenting corn, and we make sure it's from a non-GMO source. Please be advised that Erythritol may cause digestive problems to some people who have sensitive stomach systems. We would recommend such people drink our beverages in moderation by limiting their intake. However, for most people, please have an easy conscience to drink it at your actual drinking amount.
The carbohydrates on the nutrition label, which come from erythritol, are different from ordinary carbohydrates. The erythritol carbs pass through the body without being broken down for energy or affecting blood sugar.More educational reads on erythritol and sugar alcohols:

We flavored our Classic Milk Tea with cold brew coffee to bring a more mellow and smooth tasting experience. The cold brew coffee added may contribute to roughly 5% of the total content of caffeine (<4.5mg) per bottle.
