Zest Tea presents teas enriched with caffeine
Aiming to bridge the gap in caffeine content between tea and coffee, Zest Tea has developed a range of teas with added caffeine. The idea is to combine the taste of premium tea with the alertness provided by a cup of coffee. A typical cup of Zest Tea black tea is said to contain 155mg of caffeine and the green variety up to 135mg. That's about 3 times the amount found in a regular cup of the respective types of tea and more than the 125mg in a cup of coffee. The start-up project was funded with nearly $10,000 collected via a crowdfunding competition. The range is made up of 4 flavors, including Earl Grey and Pomegranate Mojito. A tin of 20 teabags retails for $12.
