Our take
CleanPlate reviewSpiced kahwa tea with 12% rock salt
Girnar Detox Desi Kahwa is a box of 10 tea bags (2.5 g each) made from green tea, spices and herbs (35%: black pepper, ginger, tulsi, asafoetida, clove, cardamom, cinnamon and nutmeg), rock salt (12%) and an acidity regulator. The panel is printed per 100 ml brewed.
CleanPlate scores it EA1. The E for nutrition is low: almost no credited protein, fibre or micronutrients per 100 ml. The A for ingredients reflects whole or lightly processed ingredients (led by green tea, black pepper and ginger), and almost no additives. The 1 for risk is low: sodium, free sugar and saturated fat are all modest (sodium 150 mg, free sugar 0 g, saturated fat 0 g per 100 ml).
