Best Black Tea by PureScore

Bottled black tea is tea in water, or tea plus a sweetener. The score follows that split. This ranking uses the published PureScore already on each product page. The live composite is ingredient safety (40%), formulation quality (30%), contaminant risk (20%), and label transparency (10%). Labels that are only partly matched stay off the list.
