What Is a Dunkin' Hot Tea?
Hot tea at Dunkin' is straightforward brewed bagged tea, available across a small rotating range that typically includes black, green and a caffeine-free herbal option. It's the plainest item on the drinks board and, ordered without additions, contains essentially no calories. For anyone who wants a hot drink without caffeine intensity or sugar, this is the default answer.
How Dunkin' Hot Tea Is Made
A bag is steeped in hot water and served with the bag still in the cup, meaning the strength continues developing while you hold it. Leaving the bag in for the full journey home produces a considerably stronger and more tannic cup than removing it after a few minutes — worth knowing if you find Dunkin' tea bitter.

Hot Tea is effectively calorie-free when ordered plain. See how this measures up in the full nutrition guide. If you are managing a food allergy, start with the allergen menu instead.
How Much Caffeine Is in Dunkin' Hot Tea?
| Size | Caffeine |
|---|---|
| Small | 40 mg |
| Medium | 50 mg |
| Large | 60 mg |
At the largest size that is roughly 0.6× the caffeine in a standard 8oz home-brewed cup. Most health authorities treat 400mg a day as a reasonable ceiling for healthy adults, so a Large Hot Tea uses about 15% of that.
How to Customise Your Dunkin' Hot Tea
Milk, cream, sugar, honey and lemon are all available on request. You can also ask for a second bag for a stronger brew, usually for a small charge or sometimes free. Requesting the water 'not boiling' helps if you're ordering green tea, which turns bitter when brewed too hot.
