Green Tea Beverage
Green Tea Beverage is low risk in a normal serving and a good everyday choice for most people with gout. A typical 240 g serving has about 4 mg of purines, about 1% of a ~400 mg working daily target.
General information, not a substitute for advice from your doctor or dietitian.
This purine value is measured on DRY TEA LEAVES, not brewed tea. A cup of brewed green tea (~200 mL) uses about 2g of dry leaves, yielding only a few mg of purines in the cup. Brewed green tea is low-purine. Do not interpret this entry as the risk level of a cup of tea. Source: USDA Purine DB 2025; Kaneko et al. (2014).
How much can I eat?
A typical serving is about 240 g, which delivers 4 mg of purines, or about 1% of a ~400 mg working daily target.
Even a large serving stays well within a ~400 mg working daily purine target.
Only part of these purines counts toward gout: the 4 mg here counts as roughly 2 mg toward your gout risk.
Green Tea Beverage is an easy choice to keep on hand.
