Not every Tims run is a coffee run. The Tim Hortons tea side of the board starts with a plain cup of steeped Orange Pekoe at $1.79 to $1.89 for a Small, runs through the bagged specialty teas and two tea lattes, and the hot chocolate beside it is the drink a lot of Canadian kids grow up on. This page sets out the tea and hot chocolate line for Canada: every drink with its price range, its calories and its caffeine.
Prices are printed as ranges on purpose. Tim Hortons has no single national price: each restaurant sits in a price cluster, so the same medium costs a bit more in one city than in another. The ranges below are the set checked for this site on October 27, 2026. Calories come from one source only, the official Tim Hortons Nutrition Guide, Canadian Edition, July 2026. The caffeine figures are the company’s own published values, set out in full on the Caffeine Guide.

The tea lineup
Tea is served two ways at Tim Hortons. Steeped Tea is Orange Pekoe brewed in the pot like coffee, so it pours ready to drink, and it comes in that one blend only. Specialty Tea is the bagged range: a tea bag in hot water, with the flavour choice in it, from Orange Pekoe, English Breakfast and Earl Grey to Chai, Green Tea and the Tropical Green Tea, plus herbal flavours and a Decaffeinated Orange Pekoe. Steeped and bagged sit on the same price ladder, $1.79 to $1.89 for a Small up to $2.59 to $2.69 for an Extra Large, and both pour at 0 calories plain.
The two tea lattes sit above the ladder. A London Fog is an Earl Grey tea latte with vanilla and steamed milk, priced at $3.29, $3.79 and $4.29 across its three sizes. The Chai Latte is the spiced tea latte; its calories are published (150 in a Small, 230 in a Medium, 310 in a Large), but its price is not one set figure across Canada, so its card reads varies by store rather than printing a number that would be wrong in half the country. The brewed coffees have their own page, Tim Hortons Coffee, and the full hot board sits on the Hot Drinks page.

Hot chocolate
Hot Chocolate is the classic: a sweet cocoa drink in all four cup sizes, from $1.99 to $2.39 for a Small up to $2.79 to $3.19 for an Extra Large. White Hot Chocolate is the white chocolate version at the same prices in most stores, and it runs richer: 250 calories in a Small against 220 for the regular, and 570 in an Extra Large against 500. In season, the Candy Cane Hot Chocolate and the Candy Cane White Hot Chocolate join the board for the holidays. Tim Hortons publishes no price ladder and no calorie count for the two Candy Cane drinks, so their cards say varies by store and not published instead of guessing.

Prices and calories
One ladder covers the three plain teas, so a cup of Steeped Tea, Specialty Tea or Tropical Green Tea costs the same at a given size. The tea lattes come in Small, Medium and Large only.

The 0-calorie line for tea holds only while the cup stays plain. Milk, cream and sugar are where tea calories arrive, the same as coffee. The full menu with prices for every category sits on the Prices page, every drink on one page sits on the Full Menu page, and the full nutrition facts table covers all 346 items in the official guide.
Caffeine in tea and hot chocolate
These are the caffeine values Tim Hortons has published for its teas and hot chocolate in Canada, printed plainly by drink and size.
| Drink | Small | Medium | Large | Extra Large |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Steeped Tea, made with whole leaf | 90 mg | 125 mg | 175 mg | 210 mg |
| Orange Pekoe, English Breakfast, Earl Grey or Chai (bagged) | 50 mg | 70 mg | 100 mg | 170 mg |
| Green Tea (bagged) | 25 mg | 35 mg | 50 mg | 60 mg |
| Decaffeinated Orange Pekoe | 6 mg | 9 mg | 12 mg | 15 mg |
| Hot Chocolate | 15 mg | 20 mg | 30 mg | 35 mg |
Steeped Tea runs higher than a bagged tea of the same size because it is brewed in the pot rather than steeped in the cup: an Extra Large reaches 210 mg, more than a Medium coffee. Two claims are worth clearing up. Hot chocolate is not caffeine free: cocoa carries a small amount, 15 mg in a Small up to 35 mg in an Extra Large, which is low but not zero in an evening cup for kids. And the herbal teas, Honey Lemon, Apple Cinnamon, Chamomile and Peppermint, plus the seasonal Pumpkin Spice tea, are caffeine free. Tim Hortons does not publish a caffeine figure for the London Fog, the Chai Latte or White Hot Chocolate, so none is printed here. Read the ladder against Health Canada’s maximum of 400 mg a day for a healthy adult: one Extra Large Steeped Tea is about half of it. The full chart for every drink, hot and cold, is on the Caffeine Guide.
