7 Brew black tea is a plain brewed black tea at 0 calories and 85 mg of caffeine for a small iced (170 mg large), which makes it the strongest tea on the menu and about two-thirds of a latte’s caffeine. It’s unsweetened until you add a syrup, costs about $3.00 to $3.75 for a small in 2026, and comes hot, iced or as a Frozen Chiller. The named black teas on the September menu are Sunny 7 (passion fruit + peach), Sunset (cherry + pineapple + coconut) and Summer Breeze (banana + passion fruit + peach).

The guide’s hot black tea rows read 11 mg for Kids through medium and 21 mg for a large, identical to the Earl Grey rows, which I think is a copy error on 7 Brew’s side; brewed black tea doesn’t lose 75 mg by being served hot. I’ve left those rows out and would plan on the iced numbers.

How to order
- “Large iced black tea, unsweet” for the classic.
- “Sweet tea”: ask for cane sugar syrup, or “with vanilla” for a lighter sweetness.
- Named: “Sunny 7 black tea” or “Sunset black tea.”
- “Half and half” gets you a tea-lemonade (Arnold Palmer style) at most stands.
