Frequently Asked Questions – Steeped Tea

Tim Hortons steeped tea (Orange Pekoe black tea) contains a moderate amount of caffeine. Approximate values per size (standard preparation, no add-ins):
Small (~12 oz): ~30–50 mg
Medium (~16 oz): ~40–70 mg
Large (~20 oz): ~50–90 mg

Steeped tea at Tim Hortons is a classic hot black tea (primarily Orange Pekoe blend) made by steeping loose tea leaves in hot water. It’s brewed in large batches throughout the day for consistent flavor and freshness. Unlike tea bags, the steeped method extracts a smoother, richer taste with subtle tannins and natural tea depth. You can enjoy it plain, with milk/cream, sugar, honey, or lemon — the famous “Double Double” style (double cream, double sugar) is popular too. It’s a simple, comforting, zero-calorie base drink (before add-ins) and a staple on the Tim Hortons hot beverages menu.

Tim Hortons makes steeped tea by brewing loose orange pekoe black tea leaves in large urns with hot water. The tea is steeped for a controlled time to achieve a consistent, balanced flavor — strong enough for bold taste but not over-extracted or bitter. It’s prepared in batches throughout the day to stay fresh and hot. When you order, staff pour it from the urn into your cup. You can customize it immediately with milk, cream, sugar, or other add-ins. The process ensures every cup is hot, smooth, and reliably tasty — a key part of Tim Hortons’ tea tradition in Canada.

Plain steeped tea (no milk, sugar, or add-ins) has 0 calories across all sizes — small, medium, large, and extra large. It contains:
