Starbucks Medicine Ball (Honey Citrus Mint Tea) Ingredients and Caffeine Details

Starbucks’ popular “Medicine Ball,” officially named Honey Citrus Mint Tea, is marketed as a soothing beverage for cold and flu symptoms. The drink combines two Teavana teas—Jade Citrus Mint Green Tea and Peach Tranquility Herbal Tea—with steamed lemonade, honey and, optionally, a pump of peppermint syrup. The Jade Citrus Mint blend contains green tea, spearmint, lemon verbena and lemongrass, while Peach Tranquility adds caffeine‑free herbal flavors such as peach, chamomile and rose hips.

The beverage does contain caffeine, sourced mainly from the Jade Citrus Mint Green Tea component; the Peach Tranquility tea is caffeine‑free. While the caffeine level is modest compared with coffee, it can be noticeable for those sensitive to stimulants. The drink’s other ingredients are intended to provide warmth, hydration and mild decongestant effects, though it is not a medical cure.
