What tea has the most caffeine? Bold black tea like Sherpa Breakfast sits at the higher end of tea's caffeine range, typically 40 to 70 mg per 8 oz cup, paired with L-theanine for a smoother lift than coffee.

Bold black and oolong tea for a natural energy lift

Whole-leaf black and oolong tea from Ilam pairs natural caffeine with L-theanine, an amino acid that smooths the caffeine curve into a steadier, more sustained lift than a straight caffeine hit.

Sherpa Breakfast Black Tea

Bold, high-caffeine, our strongest daily driver.

Himalayan Golden Black Tea

Award-winning, honey-malt sweetness, velvety and bold.

Annapurna Amber Oolong Tea

Honeyed complexity with moderate, steady caffeine.

Best brewing for maximum flavor and lift

Brew at 195 to 212 degrees F for 3 to 5 minutes depending on the tea. A stronger brew, using more leaf rather than a longer steep, delivers the boldest cup without added bitterness.
