THE BLEND
Crafted from the ground up. Upgraded along the way.
Zipp began as Orange & Green Tea — a simple idea rooted in a real observation. Friends were reaching for energy drinks packed with artificial ingredients just to get through their days. There had to be a better way.
The original blend used gunpowder green tea, which was later discovered to be one of the lowest quality green teas available. The search for something better led to a local tea shop run by a friend — and to a green tea unlike anything encountered before.
Gold Flecked green tea. A Chinese rolled green tea harvested from the Dishui Xiang cultivar — meaning Dripping Water Fragrance — grown at 1500 meters elevation in Anhui, China. The dry leaves shimmer with actual flecks of gold on their edges. The flavor is naturally lemony, slightly grassy, and smooth in a way that lower quality green teas simply cannot replicate.
That discovery changed everything. The lemony character of the Gold Flecked tea deepened the citrus notes already present in the blend. Combined with Siberian ginseng for sustained energy, orange peel and lemon peel for bright zest, and nutmeg for warmth and earthiness — Zipp became exactly what it was always meant to be.
HOW TO INFUSE
Amount: 1 teaspoon or 1 Teabag per 12 oz of water
Temperature: 175°F — green tea is delicate; high heat creates bitterness
Time: 2 minutes for a full cup, 30-60 seconds for reinfusion
Serve: Hot or iced — exceptional both ways
Try adding: A slice of fresh lemon, a drizzle of local honey, or build it into a mocktail

M.R. PAYTON ON ZIPP
I made this blend because I kept watching people I care about reach for energy drinks just to function. And I understood why — the demand is real. But the solution felt wrong. Artificial flavors, added chemicals, ingredients engineered to spike your system and leave you emptier than before.
I wanted to craft something that met that same need honestly. Green tea and Siberian ginseng for lasting energy. Citrus for brightness and vitality. Nutmeg for warmth and grounding. Everything working together the way it's supposed to.
The turning point was finding the Gold Flecked green tea at a friend's local shop. When I tasted it I knew immediately — the natural lemon notes, the smoothness, the quality of the leaf itself. It was exactly what this blend had been waiting for. The gold flecks on the dry leaf felt like the final confirmation. This was Zipp.
When I imagine the person drinking this blend, I see someone on a Saturday morning — present in whatever the day holds. A run. A conversation that matters. An afternoon with people they love. They're not chasing energy. They're sustaining it. And everything they put in their body is chosen to support that. Zipp is for that person. It always was.
WELLNESS & INTENTION
Every ingredient in Zipp was chosen for a reason — flavor first, and function always considered.
Gold Flecked green tea provides a clean, moderate caffeine lift naturally paired with L-theanine — the amino acid that smooths the edge off caffeine and promotes calm, sustained alertness without the jitters or the crash. This is what makes green tea fundamentally different from conventional energy drinks. The energy is present but it doesn't take over.
Eleuthero — known as Siberian ginseng — is an adaptogenic herb traditionally used to support the body's natural energy levels, reduce fatigue, and help the body respond to physical and mental demand. It doesn't spike anything. It sustains everything.
Orange and lemon peel bring natural Vitamin C and traditionally support digestion and immune health. Nutmeg adds warmth, supports circulation, and rounds the blend with a grounding earthiness that keeps Zipp from feeling sharp or aggressive.
This is energy that supports your presence. Not energy that replaces it.
