Its mostly just sugar and water. There is some green tee extract for the flavor and to pass it off as green tea drink. I would recommend getting the tea bags or leaves if you want real green tee
Answer by Brynnan
In those drinks, the tea flavoring is from tea extract.

There are two common types of green tea powder. Did yours dissolve completely? I know that sounds like a strange question to ask, but it would indicate which type you had. The type you probably had, made by Lipton and other big companies, is instant green tea with flavorings. I don't know much about instant tea, but I presume it's made like instant coffee by dehydrating liquid tea. My package of Lipton green tea powder lists "instant green tea" as the first ingredient, before the flavorings and sweeteners, but that doesn't indicate proportions, so I have no idea how much actual tea is in it. The other type is traditional powdered tea, made by grinding tea leaves into a flour-like powder. Matcha, the Japanese ceremonial tea, is the most common tea of this type. Powdered tea will not dissolve completely in water and settles at the bottom of a cup given enough time. Matcha from any seller worth your business won't have any sugar or flavoring unless marked on the package (and few reputable sellers would want to sell adulterated matcha).
