Price by size in the UK
Jasmine Hibiscus Iced Tea costs £3.95 for Small and £4.20 for Medium. That’s a small jump in price: 25p more for the larger listed size.
That price gap makes the Medium look sensible if you know you’ll finish it. You’re getting an extra 138 ml for 25p, which is the clearest value argument here. The Small still has a place, though, especially if you want a cold drink without taking on the extra sugar.
Small or Medium: which one makes sense?
The choice is pretty straightforward. Small is the tidier order: 366 ml, 78 kcal and 19 g sugar. It suits a quick stop, a shorter walk, or a moment when you just want something cold in your hand.
Medium is the better value on portion size. For £4.20, you get 504 ml and 103 kcal. That’s still not a heavy calorie number, but the sugar rises to 25 g, so it’s not just “light” in every sense.
My practical pick would be Small if you’re mainly thirsty and want a shorter drink. I’d choose Medium if it’s a warm day, you’re going to sip it for a while, or you’re using it as your main cold drink on the move.
Nutrition table and calorie reality
Jasmine Hibiscus Iced Tea has 78 kcal in Small and 103 kcal in Medium. For a simple comparison, a banana is around 90 kcal, so the Small sits below that and the Medium sits a little above it.
The calorie count is not the issue for most people here. The more important number is sugar: 19 g in Small and 25 g in Medium. Fat, saturates, protein and salt are all listed as 0 g across both sizes.
| Size | Portion (ml) | Energy (kcal) | Energy (kJ) | Sugar (g) | Fat (g) | Saturates (g) | Carbs (g) | Protein (g) | Salt (g) |
| Small | 366 | 78 | 326 | 19 | 0 | 0 | 19 | 0 | 0 |
| Medium | 504 | 103 | 432 | 25 | 0 | 0 | 25 | 0 | 0 |

Is it light, or mainly sweet?
It’s both, depending on what you mean by light. In calorie terms, Small at 78 kcal and Medium at 103 kcal are easy numbers to understand. As a cold drink, that makes it feel like a lighter Costa choice than many orders people usually think of as more filling.
In sugar terms, it needs a second look. Small has 19 g sugar and Medium has 25 g sugar. So I wouldn’t frame it as a plain, barely-there iced tea. It’s better described as a floral, sweet cold drink with tea-style refreshment.
That matters because the name sounds gentle, and the drink does sit in a refreshing category, but the sugar is still a real part of the order. If you’re watching sugar, the Small is the cleaner choice between the two listed sizes.
My honest take
I’d order Jasmine Hibiscus Iced Tea when I wanted something cold, floral and not too calorie-heavy. It makes most sense on a warm day or before a journey, especially if a hot drink feels like the wrong call.
At a Costa on a high street before a short train journey with my son, this is the sort of drink I’d consider because I didn’t want a hot cup. I’d think twice about the larger listed size unless I really wanted the extra portion, because the Medium adds 138 ml but also takes the sugar to 25 g.
My recommendation is simple: go Small for the more controlled order, or Medium if value and volume matter more to you. The Medium is only 25p extra, so it’s the better deal by size, but the Small is the one I’d pick most often for a quick refresh.
