The cleanest energy I've had
I'm a CrossFit coach and need my mornings to be SHARP. Coffee made me jittery and crashy. Zest is the cleanest energy I've ever had. Three months in and I'm never going back.

A game changer for my IBS
I have IBS and coffee was destroying me. My GI doctor told me to try tea. I found Zest because they have actual caffeine. Game changer.

Focus that lasts all morning
I'm a graphic designer and the focus on Zest is unreal. I can sit and work for hours without the 11 AM dip I used to get on coffee.

Why busy parents switch from coffee
Coffee-level caffeine for broken-sleep mornings.
135–150mg of natural caffeine per cup, about 3× normal tea and comparable to a strong cup of coffee, without needing a drive-thru stop.
Calm focus, not frantic energy.
Every cup is paired with L-Theanine, an amino acid that takes the sharp edge off caffeine, so the energy feels steady during school runs, meetings, errands, and nap windows.[1]
Gentler on empty-stomach mornings.
Tea is roughly half as acidic as coffee. Easier on the mornings where breakfast is a banana, a kid's leftover toast, or nothing at all.[3]
6–8 hours of clean parent energy.
Caffeine and L-Theanine release energy gradually. One cup carries a school run, work block, or long afternoon without the spike-and-crash loop.

Natural Caffeine
135-150mg of Sustained Energy
Natural caffeine from premium black and green tea leaves delivers coffee-equivalent energy with smoother delivery and longer duration. Unlike synthetic caffeine powder, tea-based caffeine releases gradually for sustained alertness without harsh spikes or crashes.
Benefits:
Sustained Energy
Enhanced Focus
8-12 Hour Duration
Did you know?
Tea-based caffeine is metabolized more gradually than coffee's concentrated form, providing smoother energy delivery. When combined with L-Theanine, it produces optimal cognitive performance without negative side effects.
L-Theanine
For calm parent focus
L-Theanine is an amino acid naturally found in tea that promotes relaxed alertness without sedation. Clinical research proves it counteracts caffeine's jittery effects while enhancing cognitive performance, attention, and accuracy.
Benefits:
Eliminates Jitters
Enhanced Focus
Reduces Anxiety
Did you know?
Multiple peer-reviewed studies show that caffeine + L-Theanine together improves cognitive performance better than caffeine alone.
Our foundation is premium black and green tea leaves from organic farms in India, Sri Lanka, and China. Orthodox processing preserves maximum flavor and beneficial compounds including EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) and theaflavins.
Benefits:
Powerful Antioxidants
Supports Cardiovascular Health
Cellular Protection
Did you know?
Tea is the second most consumed beverage globally (after water) and has been used for thousands of years for both enjoyment and health benefits. Studies show regular tea consumption supports long-term cognitive health and metabolic function.
Natural Flavors & Botanicals
Real fruit extracts, zero artificial ingredients
Every flavor comes from real sources: blueberries, pears, pomegranate, mint, cinnamon, and apple. We use steam distillation and cold-press extraction to capture authentic flavor, never artificial flavoring compounds or synthetic sweeteners.
Benefits:
Genuine Taste
No Artificial Ingredients
0 Calories, 0 Sugar
Did you know?
"Natural flavors" legally means the flavor is derived from real plant or animal sources (we use only plant sources). This is completely different from "artificial flavors" which are created from synthetic chemicals in labs.

HOW DO YOUR HIGH CAFFEINE TEAS REDUCE THE JITTERS AND CRASH?
Our high caffeine teas are packed with amino acids, including L-Theanine, which studies show helps moderate caffeine’s effects.
HOW MUCH CAFFEINE IS IN ZEST HIGH CAFFEINE TEAS?
Our high caffeine teas range between 135 and 150mg of natural caffeine per serving, depending on the flavor.
IS IT REALLY THE MOST CAFFEINATED TEA ON THE MARKET?
As far as we know, yes. And by quite a margin. Zest high caffeine teas have about 3x the caffeine of normal tea, or about as much caffeine as a regular cup of joe.
CAN THE LEVEL OF CAFFEINE IN ZEST HIGH CAFFEINE TEAS BE HARMFUL?
Up to 400mg of caffeine per day is generally considered safe. With 120-150mg per serving, Zest’s high caffeine teas are comparable to a strong cup of coffee.
HOW DO YOU INCREASE THE CAFFEINE LEVELS?
We have developed an innovative proprietary blending method that enhances the caffeine levels. The extra caffeine comes from natural tea extracts. The process and ingredients used are natural.
THE TEA IS WHITE, IS THAT MOLD?
Tea in its natural form isn’t as caffeinated as we’d like it to be, so we developed a way to add more caffeine to our blends using natural tea extracts. A common side effect during this process is the whitening of the tea.
DO ZEST TEA BAGS CONTAIN ANY PLASTICS/MICRO-PLASTICS?
Despite the look, our tea bags are made of a plant-fiber material that is compostable and does not contain plastics/micro-plastics.
ARE YOUR PRODUCTS SUGAR FREE?
Our hot teas are all sugar free. Our ready-to-drink energy iced teas have 0 sugar flavors (and other, low-sugar flavors). Our powder packs contain a little sugar.
ARE YOUR PRODUCTS GLUTEN FREE?
All Zest products are gluten free.
HOW MANY CALORIES/CARBS ARE IN ZEST PRODUCTS? CAN I DRINK THIS ON A KETO DIET?
Our hot teas have 0 calories and carbs.
HOW MUCH WATER TO USE PER TEA BAG?
One serving is typically brewed with 6-8 oz of water. Some use as much as 12-15oz of water for the same amount of tea so it’s completely up to your personal preferences. We recommend starting with the standard measurements and experimenting to see what you like best.
FOR HOW LONG SHOULD I BREW THE TEA?
Use near-boiling water (freshly boiled water) and brew the tea for 3-4 min if brewing Green Tea, or 4-5 min if brewing Black Tea.
