Vitality Blend — Testosterone & Drive

The Vitality Blend is built for men focused on testosterone, libido, and male wellness. The formula combines Ashwagandha (a clinically-studied adaptogen for stress + testosterone), Horny Goat Weed (a traditional libido-supporting botanical), Saw Palmetto (prostate support), and an anti-inflammatory baseline of Ginger + Turmeric, all on a caffeine-free Rooibos + Chai base.

Drink it in the morning. Hormonal benefits build over 4–12 weeks of consistent daily use; ashwagandha and horny goat weed work cumulatively — not as one-shot stimulants.

Energy Blend — Clean Fuel for Your Day

The Energy Blend was built for guys who are done with the jittery highs and afternoon crashes of coffee. Yerba Mate and Guayusa deliver a smooth caffeine experience native to South America. Siberian Ginseng is an adaptogen used traditionally to support stamina and stress resilience. Lemon Myrtle, Licorice Root, and Dragon Fruit round out the flavor and add antioxidant breadth.

Drink it first thing in the morning as a coffee replacement, or 30–45 minutes pre-workout. The mate-and-guayusa caffeine load is high, but the adaptogens stretch the curve so the energy stays clean for hours.

SHOP ENERGY →

Fasting Blend — Support Your Fasting Window

Intermittent fasting works — but the hours between meals are where most guys quit. The Fasting Blend was designed to make those hours productive. Green Tea provides catechins (EGCG) that support fat oxidation during fasted states. Fennel and Fenugreek help reduce hunger and support metabolism. Peppermint and Hibiscus calm the stomach, suppress appetite, and add real flavor to a zero-calorie cup.

Brew it during your fasting window — it's zero-calorie, naturally satisfying, and won't break your fast. Whether you run 16:8, OMAD, or extended fasts, this is the blend that gets you through.

Nighttime Blend — Wind Down and Recover

Sleep is where your body repairs, builds, and resets. The Nighttime Blend is caffeine-free and built around the most studied sleep-supporting botanicals: Skullcap, Chamomile, Hops, Damiana, Passionflower, and Rooibos. Each works on a different sleep mechanism — GABA tone, anxiety dampening, sleep onset latency.

Drink 30–90 minutes before bed as part of a wind-down ritual (screens off, lights dimmed). Unlike melatonin, you won't wake up groggy — these are mild, layered relaxants that ease you into deeper sleep stages.

Vitality Blend in Depth

Tea for Guys Vitality Blend

Testosterone & Drive Support

Who It's For

The Vitality Blend is built for men focused on testosterone, libido, drive, and male-specific wellness. It's especially well-suited to men 30+ noticing the early signals — slower recovery, lower morning energy, blunted libido, more stress carryover from work into the rest of life. The formula targets the stress–hormone axis (ashwagandha), libido and circulation (horny goat weed), prostate health (saw palmetto), and an anti-inflammatory baseline (ginger, turmeric) on a caffeine-free Rooibos + Chai base.

When to Drink

Morning. The blend is low-caffeine (the rooibos + chai base is naturally caffeine-free; trace amounts come only from chai spices) so it works any time of day, but morning leverages the adaptogen pattern most studies have used for testosterone outcomes. Brew with hot water (200°F) and steep for 5–7 minutes for full extraction of the adaptogenic compounds.

What to Expect: The Results Timeline

Weeks 1–2: Most men notice acute calm and improved stress resilience first. Ashwagandha begins reducing perceived stress and cortisol within the first 2 weeks of daily use. A 2019 randomized trial in American Journal of Men's Health found 8 weeks of 600mg ashwagandha extract significantly improved testosterone, DHEA-S, and vitality scores in aging overweight men (PMID: 30854916).

Weeks 3–6: Morning energy and libido improvements become noticeable. A 2015 study found ashwagandha root extract significantly increased serum testosterone, DHEA-S, and improved muscle strength and recovery vs placebo in resistance-trained men (PMID: 26609282, J Int Soc Sports Nutr). Horny goat weed contributes via icariin's effects on PDE-5 and circulation.

Weeks 6–12: Cumulative hormonal and inflammatory benefits. Saw palmetto's effects on prostate symptoms (AUA Symptom Index, urinary flow) reach steady state around 8–12 weeks of daily intake (PMID: 19370590, Cochrane Database Syst Rev — note: meta-analyses are mixed on saw palmetto magnitude, but it's well-tolerated). Curcumin from turmeric continues lowering inflammatory markers like CRP and IL-6 (PMID: 29065496, Foods).

Energy Blend in Depth

Tea for Guys Energy Blend

Clean Fuel Without the Crash

Who It's For

The Energy Blend is designed for men who rely on caffeine but are tired of the jitters, anxiety spikes, and 2 PM crashes that come with excess coffee. It's especially well-suited for guys with demanding work schedules, pre-workout routines, or anyone transitioning away from energy drinks. If your goal is sustained mental clarity and physical drive from morning through afternoon, this blend delivers.

When to Drink

First thing in the morning or 30–45 minutes before a workout. The combination of yerba mate, guayusa, and Siberian ginseng provides a moderate caffeine load paired with adaptogenic compounds that extend the energy curve. the natural L-theanine + saponin profile of yerba mate promotes alpha brain wave activity, smoothing out caffeine's stimulant edge. A 2008 study found that the L-theanine and caffeine combination significantly improved both speed and accuracy on attention-switching tasks (PMID: 18681988, Nutritional Neuroscience).

What to Expect: The Results Timeline

Day 1–3: Immediate difference in energy quality. Most users report feeling alert but calm — the hallmark of the caffeine-plus-L-theanine synergy.

Weeks 2–4: Reduced reliance on multiple cups of coffee. Siberian ginseng functions as an adaptogen, helping regulate the HPA axis and cortisol response over time (PMID: 19500070, Current Clinical Pharmacology). Users often notice improved stress resilience and fewer energy dips.

Weeks 4–12: Cumulative adaptogenic benefits. Yerba mate's polyphenols and saponins contribute to improved lipid metabolism and antioxidant status with sustained use (PMID: 25732350, Journal of Functional Foods). Physical endurance and workout performance may improve as the body adapts to consistent adaptogen intake.

Fasting Blend in Depth

Tea for Guys Fasting Blend

Your Fasting Window Companion

Who It's For

The Fasting Blend is purpose-built for men practicing intermittent fasting (16:8, 18:6, OMAD, or extended fasts). It's zero-calorie and formulated to suppress appetite, support fat oxidation, and keep you mentally sharp during your fasting window — without breaking your fast. If hunger pangs, brain fog, or low energy are derailing your fasting protocol, this blend solves all three.

When to Drink

During your fasting window — typically mid-morning through early afternoon for most 16:8 practitioners. Many users brew a cup when hunger first hits (usually 3–4 hours into the fast) and a second cup 1–2 hours before their eating window opens. The green tea and fennel combination helps reduce hunger and stabilize energy, while peppermint calms the stomach. A 2012 pilot study found that fenugreek consumption supported satiety and reduced feelings of hunger in overweight men (PMID: 19809809, Phytotherapy Research).

What to Expect: The Results Timeline

Week 1: Easier fasting windows. Appetite suppression is noticeable from the first cup. Fenugreek has been shown to slow gastric emptying and extend satiety signals (PMID: 19809809, Phytotherapy Research).

Weeks 2–4: Improved fasting consistency and reduced cravings. As your body adapts to the fasting routine with herbal support, many users report extending their fasting windows by 1–2 hours without discomfort. Green tea catechins enhance fat oxidation during fasted states (PMID: 19597519, The Journal of Nutrition).

Weeks 4–12: Measurable body composition changes when combined with a consistent fasting protocol. Improved insulin sensitivity and metabolic flexibility. Fenugreek supplementation over 12 weeks has been associated with reduced fasting blood glucose and improved lipid profiles (PMID: 19809809, Phytotherapy Research).

Nighttime Blend in Depth

Tea for Guys Nighttime Blend

Recovery Starts When You Sleep

Who It's For

The Nighttime Blend is for men who struggle to wind down, stay asleep, or wake up feeling rested. Whether your issue is a racing mind after a long day, screen-induced insomnia, or simply poor sleep quality that leaves you groggy, this caffeine-free blend is designed to calm the nervous system and promote restorative deep sleep. It's also the ideal complement to any daytime Tea for Guys blend — what you do at night directly determines how you perform during the day.

When to Drink

30–60 minutes before bed. The blend features chamomile, hops, passionflower, skullcap, damiana, and rooibos — all well-studied for their sedative and anxiolytic properties. A 2011 randomized controlled trial found that chamomile extract significantly improved sleep quality scores compared to placebo in adults with insomnia (PMID: 22207209, BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine). Brewing it as part of a nightly wind-down ritual (screens off, lights dimmed) amplifies the effect.

What to Expect: The Results Timeline

Night 1–3: A noticeable calming effect within 20–30 minutes of drinking. Passionflower increases gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) levels in the brain, reducing neural excitability and promoting relaxation (PMID: 21294203, Phytotherapy Research).

Weeks 1–3: Faster sleep onset and fewer nighttime awakenings. Hops has been shown to improve subjective sleep quality without morning grogginess (PMID: 22849536, PLoS ONE). Users consistently report waking up feeling more refreshed.

Weeks 4–12: Compounding benefits. Consistent, high-quality sleep supports testosterone production (sleep deprivation can reduce testosterone by 10–15% in healthy young men — PMID: 21632481, JAMA), improves body composition, strengthens immune function, and enhances cognitive performance. This is the blend that quietly amplifies every other health habit you have.

Which Blend Should I Start With?

The right starting blend depends entirely on your most pressing goal right now — not the goal you'll get to eventually. Here's a simple decision framework:

"I just want to feel better overall." → Start with the Vitality Blend. It's the broadest-spectrum option and the easiest daily habit to build. Think of it as your health foundation.

"I need to replace coffee or energy drinks." → Start with the Energy Blend. It gives you the alertness you're used to without the crash, and the adaptogens build stress resilience over time.

"I'm doing intermittent fasting and struggling." → Start with the Fasting Blend. It makes your fasting window dramatically easier from day one and supports fat metabolism throughout.

"My sleep is terrible." → Start with the Nighttime Blend. Poor sleep undermines every other health effort. Fix sleep first, and everything else — energy, recovery, focus, hormones — improves as a downstream effect.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I drink more than one blend per day?

Absolutely. Our blends are designed to complement each other throughout your day. A popular combination is the Energy Blend in the morning, the Fasting Blend during a fasting window, and the Nighttime Blend before bed. Just be mindful of your total caffeine intake — the Nighttime Blend is caffeine-free, so it's always a safe evening choice.

Which blend is best for beginners?

The Vitality Blend is the best starting point. It's our original formula, has a balanced and approachable flavor, and delivers broad daily wellness benefits. Once you know how your body responds, you can add other blends based on your specific goals.

Will the Fasting Blend break my fast?

The Fasting Blend is zero calories and contains no sweeteners, so it should not break a standard intermittent fast. It's specifically formulated to support your fasting window without interfering with the metabolic benefits of fasting.

How does the Energy Blend compare to coffee?

The Energy Blend provides a moderate-to-high level of natural caffeine from yerba maté and green tea, but the experience is different from coffee. The combination of adaptogens like Siberian Ginseng, along with L-theanine naturally present in green tea, helps deliver smoother, longer-lasting energy without the jitters or afternoon crash many people experience with coffee.

What if I'm not sure which blend is right for me?

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Blends

Which Tea for Guys blend has the most caffeine?

The Energy Blend has the highest caffeine content due to its combination of green tea and yerba maté, delivering moderate caffeine (roughly 50–70 mg per cup). The Vitality and Fasting Blends contain low-to-moderate caffeine from green tea alone (25–35 mg). The Nighttime Blend is completely caffeine-free.

Will the Fasting Blend break my fast?

No. The Fasting Blend is zero-calorie and contains no sugars, sweeteners, or additives that would trigger an insulin response. Herbal teas and green tea are widely accepted within intermittent fasting protocols. Brew it plain — without milk, honey, or sweeteners — and your fast stays intact.

Can I drink more than one blend per day?

Yes. The blends are formulated to work together across your day. A common routine is the Energy Blend or Fasting Blend in the morning, the Vitality Blend in the early afternoon, and the Nighttime Blend before bed. Just be mindful of total caffeine intake — if you're sensitive, limit caffeinated blends to the morning and early afternoon.

How long before I notice results?

It depends on the blend. Energy and Nighttime Blends produce noticeable effects within the first few days — sharper focus and calmer sleep, respectively. The Vitality and Fasting Blends deliver cumulative benefits: most users report meaningful improvements in inflammation, digestion, fasting ease, and overall energy within 3–6 weeks of daily use. For hormonal and metabolic benefits, allow a full 8–12 weeks of consistent use.

Are these blends safe to take with medications or supplements?

Our blends are made from organic, food-grade herbs and teas with no synthetic additives. However, certain ingredients — particularly turmeric (which may interact with blood thinners) and hops (which may amplify sedatives) — can interact with specific medications. If you're on prescription medication, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider before starting any new herbal regimen.

What's the best deal if I want to try multiple blends?

Our Buy 2 Get 1 Free offer applies across the entire collection. Add any three blends to your cart and the discount is applied automatically. It's the most popular way to build a full daily routine — morning energy, afternoon wellness, and nighttime recovery — at the best price. Browse all blends here →
