Research-Supported Benefits of CLOUDLINE Tea

Peer-reviewed human and clinical research demonstrates that key polyphenols naturally present in whole-leaf tea interact meaningfully with exercise physiology.

Green tea (CLOUDLINE GREEN) catechins and endurance metabolism
Regular green tea consumption during an aerobic training period has been shown to increase fat oxidation and shift substrate utilization toward greater reliance on fat during exercise.

Black tea (CLOUDLINE RED) theaflavins and recovery
Theaflavin-rich black tea has been shown to reduce delayed-onset muscle soreness and attenuate oxidative stress following repeated high-intensity interval exercise.

Science

Why this Tea?
THE SCIENCE BEHIND CLOUDLINE High-Mountain Tea, Engineered by Nature Tea grown at altitude develops higher polyphenol density, cleaner amino acid profiles, and more stable flavor compounds. Cool temperatures, thin air, and slow leaf growth force the plant to concentrate its internal chemistry — resulting in tea with: • Elevated L-theanine (calming, focus-enhancing amino acid)• Increased catechins and polyphenols (antioxidants linked to cellular health)• Smooth, sustained caffeine release• Clean taste and aroma without bitterness Cloudline grows tea exclusively on micro-farms above the cloud line, where environmental stress produces a leaf built...
