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 for performance.
Steady Energy Without the Crash
Most caffeine sources spike the nervous system.
Cloudline tea behaves differently.
Here’s why:
L-theanine + caffeine create a synergistic effect documented in nutrition and neuroscience research. Theanine buffers caffeine’s overstimulation, resulting in:
• Calm, focused alertness
• No jitters
• No mid-day crash
• Improved reaction time and attention
• Sustained work capacity and mental endurance
This balance is why Cloudline is ideal for athletes, founders, clinicians, and anyone who needs clarity under load.
Polyphenols: Nature’s Performance Molecules
Cloudline teas contain high levels of polyphenols, plant compounds associated with:
• Support for metabolic health
• Cardiovascular efficiency
• Reduced oxidative stress from training or long workdays
• Improved fat oxidation during endurance exercise
• Support for gut and immune health
Polyphenols aren’t stimulants — they improve how your body handles stress, effort, and recovery.
The Micro-Farm Advantage
Vic and Jerry built Cloudline around a simple question:
What if we grew tea like athletes train — with precision, consistency, and no shortcuts?
Their micro-farm model uses:
• Small fields with controlled soil biology
• Organic, regenerative farming protocols
• Slow-growth harvesting for maximum amino acid retention
• Traditional oxidation techniques validated with modern testing
Every batch is grown, observed, measured, and adjusted by Jerry — a master cultivator and professor who trains organic farmers across Taiwan.
This is why Cloudline tea tastes clean, feels smooth, and performs consistently.
Purity, Testing, and Zero Compromise
Cloudline tests each micro-lot for:
• Pesticides (below detectable limits)
• Heavy metals
• Microbial safety
• Moisture and oxidation integrity
Our commitment is simple:
If it doesn’t meet the threshold we drink ourselves, we don’t ship it.
No blends.
No added flavor.
No fillers.
Nothing to dilute the chemistry the mountain already perfected.
Why It Works for High Performers
Cloudline tea supports:
Athletes
• Steady pre-workout energy
• Mental focus during endurance sessions
• Better fat oxidation in Zone 2–3 work
• Low-acid stomach feel
Founders & Builders
• Clear thinking during long days
• Reduced caffeine anxiety
• Better task switching and decision-making
Health & Longevity Seekers
• Lower stimulant load than coffee
• High antioxidant intake
• A ritual that supports parasympathetic balance
Cloudline is fuel that keeps you moving — without the metabolic penalty of traditional caffeine sources.
