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.

FAQ Icon

L-Theanine

For calm 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.

FAQ Icon

Premium Black & Green Tea

(Camellia sinensis) High-caffeine, antioxidant-rich

Our foundation is premium black and green tea leaves sourced from India, Sri Lanka or China, boosted with natural tea extract to 150mg of caffeine per serving in our black teas and 135mg in our greens. The leaf brings the antioxidants — EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) and theaflavins — plus the L-Theanine that keeps the energy smooth instead of jittery.

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.

FAQ Icon

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.

Frequently asked questions

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?

This is for brewed tea. One serving of tea 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. Our powder sticks are different — Zest Elite and our Energy + Hydration packs mix into 16 to 32 oz of cold water per stick, not 6-8 oz.

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.

I love Zest Tea and it’s an indulgence I allow myself once or twice a year. Getting the sampler pack is a good way to remember the taste of different flavors.

Thanks so much for sharing! We’re glad the sampler pack is a great way to revisit your favorite flavors. We appreciate you treating yourself with Zest Tea!

This tea is fantastic. Great taste. Bags that it comes in are great. Tastes great. Gives me a little kick when I don’t want coffee. Glad I discovered this tea from The Lift Box and then ordered a bunch extra because I liked it so much.

Hi Alec, Thanks for sharing your experience and for being a valued customer!

Kevin Gormley

Great tasting tea and I use it for a pick me up around the house or before the gym way better than preworkouts and all flavor of tea is wonderful. Highly recommend.

Thank you so much for the kind words! We're so happy to hear you're enjoying the tea, whether it's for a boost around the house or before the gym. It means a lot to know you've found it to be a great alternative to traditional pre-workouts.

Best Black and Green Tea!

I ordered the sampler pack because I couldn’t remember my favorite blend. Let me just say I love them all, but Blue Lady and Super Berry Samba are my absolute favorites. Zest tea is the best out there! When I picked my package up at my little post office, I told everyone there they had to try it. I love the pep I get in the afternoon from such clean plant source. Love! Try it!

It only takes one!

I can't live without my Zest tea ! Takes me forever to get going in the morning. Instead of having to drink multiple cups of tea upon rising I now only need one! An unexpected bonus of only needing one cup of tea is my sensitive stomach is less bothered.

I LOVE Blue Lady tea

I LOVE Blue Lady tea but every time I order online the flavor is just not quite the same (definitely not as bold but it’s something else, too) when I get the big bag with unwrapped pyramid bags rather than the individually wrapped tea bags sold at the grocery store. I live in a small town and my local store occasionally runs out of Zest. This is the third online order of Blue Lady where I experience lack of flavor so I’m wondering if it’s related the the individually wrapped bags. It’s a shame because, from an environmental standpoint, it makes sense to use less packaging. From a flavor standpoint, it simply doesn’t taste like the Blue Lady I love from the store. The first time I ordered and experienced this was back in 2021 so it seems to be ongoing. I’m pretty bummed and after the third time I most likely won’t order Blue Lady online again. It tastes like it never steeped! I’ve even tried double bags. The pomegranate mojito, on the other hand, tastes just as delicious when I order online as when I pick it up from the store. I’m a big Zest fan and talk them up to my colleagues. I’m hopeful this can somehow be improved. My local grocer has been out for two months now. I just want a hot steaming cup of Blue Lady!

I normally love the zest

I normally love the zest tea, especially the pomegranate mojito. The past few I purchased, the tea bags appeared different and smaller. In addition, the last batch I purchased tastes different than usual. Very disappointed, since I drink this daily and loved it. I also have not been able to get this flavor as readily as before.

The sample box I got is really good and I love the Chau, but the pomegranate mojito has peppermint tea that is super overpowering.

Tea is fine. One problem

Tea is fine. One problem was that 2 of the tea bags that hold the 20 pyramid bags was open on the very top. One of Earl Gray and one Blue Lady seal on the top was not sealed. I don't know if that is a heat seal but it did come open during shipment. The shipping package was not damaged. Just faulty seals.

Ordered the variety case of

Ordered the variety case of sparkling tea. Had already tasted the blackberry lime and knew I liked that. Didn’t love the blood orange mango, but it was ok. Unfortunately, the cucumber melon is terrible. No one in my family will drink it and it will likely go to waste. There was no way to order a smaller quantity in order to try flavors. Very unfortunate.

It is the best tea

It is the best tea I have ever had, and my husband who only will drink just regular tea said that the Blue Lady Tea was very delicious and really enjoyed drinking it!

I just want to know how I can get the Tea Tin to go along with my other flavors of the Zest Tea I have. Because I found the Blue Lady, Pomegranate Mint and the Super Berry. Because since the Tea Sachets are just in a box and not individually wrapped to keep the tea bag’s staying fresh. So I really need to get the other Tea Tins please!!

Please let me know something!

Thank you,
Bell Gwynn

Addicting and delicious

I have never reviewed a tea before, haha! I went through many teas before finding this one. My boss had actually just bought me a box of a few flavors as a gift last year, and I haven't looked back. It is super high caffeine and you definitely have to be careful with overdoing it. I am unfortunately slightly allergic to the green teas, so haven't been able to keep having the Superberry one I really liked. But I am ADDICTED to the Blue Lady tea, and I think it may be what keeps me going every day. I actually just left this review because I absolutely love how quick the shipping is, and I think the little gifts that are put in the box each time are so charming. Long story short, this is not the tea for everyone because it is super high in caffeine, but I am so happy I found it.

Mackenzie M.
Disappointed

I love this tea brand, and have been buying from them for a while. In my last purchase, though, all of the tea bags in their packages were torn. I bought Blue Lady and Pomegranate Mojito from my local grocery store and had to throw both boxes away. Each and every individual package contained a torn or just flat out ruined teabag. I'm hoping this was a one-time error, because I do enjoy their tea and would like to keep drinking them each morning.

We are now totally addicted

We are now totally addicted to these fabulous teas, and we don't even consider starting a day without it. Our only morning question is which flavor shall we make a pot of first. Then, of course, the ritual is repeated for afternoon. Favorites so far, are Blue Lady, Chi, and Superberry, but we have not had a single flavor that we do not love!
