WITHOUT THE JITTERS OR CRASH OF COFFEE
The combination of the caffeine and L-Theanine (a rare amino acid) in Zest Tea has a synergistic effect that prolongs the energy levels and creates a more steady alertness. A side effect of the energy moderation is a reduction in the "jitters" and "crash" that typically accompanies caffeinated beverages.

Describe your products in 3 words.
High Energy Teas.
How did you come up with the idea for this product?
We started Zest tea because we love quality tea, but we also love the energizing boost we get from a cup of joe. Yes, most teas have some caffeine, but sometimes some doesn't cut it. You know those mornings.
We were sick of trading in our delicious, healthy, tea, for that sludge they call coffee at the office, so we set out to find quality energizing tea. Unfortunately, they didn't exist. Instead of whimpering and moving on (well maybe a little whimpering) we started making our own blends of caffeine infused teas using our favorite high quality blends.
What makes your product special?
We've been tea-heads (sorta like deadheads but with different plants) long enough that we knew how to blend a great tea, but to start it was only for ourselves. Then our friends heard about what we were doing. They loved the idea and when they tasted the teas they had to have it for themselves. Eventually we succumbed to our friends pleas and decided to make our blends available to the masses.
What has been the best part of your experience?
The best part of this experience, after spending so much time creating our blends and obsessing over every details, is seeing people in the real world enjoying our teas.
