If you need an afternoon lift, you've basically got two popular options in Pearland: grab a canned energy drink, or grab a 32oz lit tea. They both wake you up — but they're not the same thing. Here's how they really stack up.
The side-by-side
Sugar
Many canned energy drinks pack a lot of added sugar. Our lit teas are built to be low-calorie and light — no sugar bomb.
Energy curve
Energy drinks can spike you hard and drop you just as fast. A lit tea's clean-caffeine + B-vitamin mix is built for a smoother lift.
Size & sipping
A lit tea is a full 32oz you sip across the afternoon — not a fast 8–16oz hit you slam and regret.
Flavor & freshness
Energy drinks come out of a can. Lit teas are made fresh to order, in 20+ flavors, adjustable to your taste.
So which should you grab?
If you want a fast, harsh jolt from a can, an energy drink does that. But if you want clean energy that lasts — without the sugar crash, in a flavor you actually look forward to — a lit tea wins for most people. It's the same reason our Pearland regulars swapped their afternoon soda or second energy drink for a loaded tea and never looked back.
The honest take
Both have caffeine, so neither is a free-for-all. If you're caffeine-sensitive, tell us and we'll build your tea lighter. The win for a lit tea is less sugar, a smoother curve, and a drink you'll genuinely enjoy.

Common questions
Is a lit tea healthier than an energy drink?
A lit tea is generally a lighter choice — lower in calories and sugar than most canned energy drinks, with B vitamins and vitamin C. Both contain caffeine, so enjoy either in moderation. At Broadway Nutrition we can build your tea lighter if you're caffeine-sensitive.
Which gives longer-lasting energy?
Most people get a smoother, longer lift from a lit tea because the clean-caffeine and B-vitamin combo avoids the hard spike-and-crash you often feel from a high-sugar energy drink. A 32oz tea also sips across the whole afternoon.
How much does a lit tea cost in Pearland?
Lit teas at Broadway Nutrition are $9.15 for a 32oz, made fresh to order in 20+ flavors. Text or call 832-827-7133 to order ahead, or walk in at 3272 Broadway St, Ste 145, Pearland.
