Unsweetened. Almost anything without sugar will be very low calorie.

4g or protein is 16 calories. 0.5g fat is 4.5
So 20.5 calories per serving give or take 20% and you get 25 calories per serving and with 4 servings the whole thing is 100 calories and 16g protein

Black coffee has almost no calories, so that seems about right

I think people are seeing the OP’s question backwards. Tbh I have no idea how black coffee is still 25 cals per cup and not 5. Makes no sense to me either.

I love that no one here has reading comprehension skills lmaooo
I cannot find anything on the web for why this coffee has protein. I’m stumped.

I believe this is correct. A few thoughts – the stats you are quoting are for coffee, while this is a more concentrated cold brew. Different products, different data, yeah? Coffee beans are NOT fat free, they have oils that you can see once they are roasted. If you look at a strong cup of black coffee at the right angle, you can see the sheen of oil on the surface. But it’s such a small amount, it doesn’t count towards the data on a nutrition label, same as a nonstick cooking spray.

The calories are found in the coffee grounds and the brewing method makes a difference. The longer extraction time and larger quantity of ground coffee used is what would result in more calories. I believe the filtering method could also affect this. Still seems high comparatively.
