This purine value (~204 mg/100g) is measured on DRY TEA LEAVES, not brewed tea. A cup of brewed green tea (~200 mL) uses about 2g of dry leaves, yielding only a few mg of purines in the cup. Brewed green tea is low-purine. Do not interpret this entry as the risk level of a cup of tea. Source: USDA Purine DB 2025; Kaneko et al. (2014).
