About the HEYTEA Kale Boost Tea

The HEYTEA Kale Boost Tea is $10.49 and 165 calories, which makes it the lightest fruit tea on the menu. Kale, chia seeds, green grapes, apple and lemon over jasmine green tea.

The name puts people off and the drink does not deserve it. Kale here is a background note rather than the point, contributing a faint green vegetal edge and most of the colour. What you actually taste first is apple and green grape, with lemon sharpening the finish. Anyone expecting a green juice will be surprised by how much it drinks like a fruit tea.

Chia seeds are the texture. They sit suspended through the cup rather than sinking, each one with its gel coat, and they give a light popping resistance that is nothing like tapioca. They also keep working as the drink sits, so a cup left for ten minutes is thicker than one drunk straight away.

At 28g of sugar it carries less than any other fruit tea on the list, and the 165 calorie count is the lowest in the range by a clear margin. That combination is why it gets ordered by people who want a HEYTEA habit without the sugar load that usually comes with one.

The lemon is what makes it work rather than the kale. It cuts through the apple sweetness and keeps the finish clean, and without it the drink would sit heavy despite the low sugar. Light Sugar pushes it further towards sour, which suits this one better than most.

No allergens are declared and there is no dairy in the build. One size only, so no upgrade decision to make.

Chia is the reason to drink this one reasonably quickly. The seeds keep absorbing liquid in the cup, so a drink left on a desk for half an hour turns noticeably thicker and the straw starts to catch. That is not a fault, it is what chia does, but it makes this a poor choice if you are the kind of person who nurses a drink through a long meeting.

For the next lightest option with a simpler flavour, the Crisp Grape Boom is 175 calories. If you want something equally fresh with more fruit character, the Guava Green Grape is the closest match at $10.49.

Tips

  • Remove the kale stems. They are bitter and fibrous and no amount of sieving fixes them.
  • Green apple over red. The sharpness is part of the balance.
  • Chia gel keeps 3 days in the fridge, so make a batch and the drink takes 5 minutes.

Variations

  • Add cucumber for a cleaner, more savoury version.
  • Swap lemon for lime to shift the finish tropical.
  • Leave out the kale entirely and it becomes an apple grape tea, which is what most of the flavour already is.

The morning option on a menu that otherwise leans afternoon. Light enough to drink before food.

Kale Boost Tea Questions

How many calories are in the Kale Boost Tea?
165 calories with 28g of sugar, the lowest of both across the entire HEYTEA fruit tea range.
Does it taste like kale?
Barely. Apple and green grape lead, lemon sharpens the finish, and kale sits behind them as a faint vegetal note and most of the colour. It drinks like a fruit tea, not a green juice.
How much does it cost?
$10.49 for the one size available. There is no large cup for this drink.
What do the chia seeds do?
They stay suspended through the cup with a gel coat around each seed, giving a light popping texture rather than chew. They also thicken the drink as it sits, so it is different at the end than at the start.
Is it dairy free?
Yes, and it declares no allergens at all. Along with the Guava Green Grape and the Crisp Grape Boom it is one of the safest orders on the menu.
