My English Breakfast tea states it contains 2g of protein.

How/Why? Is that an oblique nod to insect protein, how does tea contain protein? 🤢 + 3 CALORIES?!

Edit: there's no milk or anything milk-related

Is that when made with milk or the straight black tea?

If it's straight black, then it sounds like you have some breakfast in your tea 😒

Tazo English Breakfast (straight black tea)

Tazo often gets fancy with the spices. Are there any other ingredients listed?

Tazo is Lipton, as someone else explained here.

The big bagged tea supermarket brands don't get even the bad quality tea leaves. They buy the remains and dust no one else wants.

That's why the bags have such fine mesh. And also why them having any amount of protein isn't entirely unexpected.
