What is tea on the pH scale?

The pH level of tea varies depending on the type of tea and the brewing method used.

Generally, most teas have a pH level between 4.5 and 7.0, with black tea having a pH level closer to 5.5 and green tea having a pH level closer to 7.0.

Brewing tea with boiling water can slightly increase the pH level of the tea, as the heat causes some of the acids in the tea to break down.

However, adding lemon or other acidic ingredients to tea can lower the pH level.
