Do your blends contain caffeine?Updated a month ago

All of our blends contain 80-110mg of caffeine per serving; this is about the same as one regular cup of coffee - caffeine varies naturally in coffee. We love the synergies between adaptogens and caffeine to help us stay balanced and in flow. Our Zen blend is most popular with those sensitive to caffeine, with L-theanine and Ashwagandha to promote calming and balanced energy 🧘‍♀️ 

How does this work? Caffeine works by blocking our adenosine receptors (which make us feel drowsy) giving us a mental lift, however, it can increase our cortisol levels (our stress hormone) which can result in jitters/anxiety, especially if we're sensitive to caffeine. Adaptogens can help balance our cortisol levels allowing us to get the benefits of caffeine whilst minimising any side effects. Also, caffeine is absorbed quickly which can result in a crash, and adaptogens can give us sustained energy levels - lots of our customers find they drink less coffee overall, some reducing their caffeine intake from 4-5 cups a day to 1-2 adaptogenic coffees.
