CLOUDLINE GREEN — Bright Focus
Clean, steady alertness for morning runs, key workouts, and focused workdays — without jitters or crashes.
Lightly oxidized whole-leaf organic Camellia sinensis grown on our own farm in Taiwan.
What to Expect
This leaf is processed to preserve the natural balance of caffeine, L-theanine, and polyphenols — delivering smooth, focused energy that supports sustained focus and mental clarity without overstimulation.
Best For
• Early morning runs
• Tempo and steady aerobic days
• Focused work and creative sessions
• Training days that require clarity and consistency
Energy Profile
Energy rises gently, sharpens focus, and stays smooth for hours.
This is bright, calm alertness designed for endurance — not spikes, jitters, or crashes.
How Long Will This Last?
Each tin contains 30 g of whole leaves.
Each 4 g of whole leaves can brew approximately 1 liter or 32 oz
Most runners use CLOUDLINE 3–4 times per week, which means:
• Approximately 30 cups
Because these are intact whole leaves, each session can be steeped multiple times, making each serving last longer than coffee or bagged tea.
Leaf Character
A lightly oxidized green tea with notes of orchid, fresh greens, honey, and soft stone fruit, finishing clean, bright, and mineral.
How to Prepare
Light cup → calm focus
Strong cup → brighter, longer-lasting energy
Leaf Dose: 3–6 g
Water Temperature: 80–90 °C
Steep Time: 30–90 seconds
Infusions: 3–7
Short infusions allow the leaf to unfurl gradually, revealing new layers of flavor and character with each steep.
Health & Composition
Grown on our own farm using organic farming practices without pesticides, herbicides, or shortcuts.
Naturally contains caffeine, L-theanine, polyphenols, amino acids, and minerals present in the leaf.
Approximately 20–40 mg of caffeine per 8 oz cup, depending on brew method and steep time — naturally paired with L-theanine for calm, sustained energy without the jitters.

Why endurance athletes drink Cloudline
Three compounds the body treats like fuel.
Whole-leaf chemistry means caffeine, L-theanine, and polyphenols arrive together — not the sharp spike of extracted caffeine, not the crash.
L-theanine
Natural
Amino acid that pairs with caffeine for calm, sustained focus — the signature of real tea.
Haskell et al., Biol Psychol 2008Polyphenols
High
Catechins, chiefly EGCG. Support aerobic fat oxidation and help the body manage training stress.
Jówko, Antioxidants in Sport Nutrition, 2015
Brewing is a ritual
Short steep, sweeter. Long steep, deeper.
The shorter the steep, the sweeter the cup. The longer the steep, the stronger the body. Quiet. Controlled. Precise.

From our first drinkers
What people say after the third cup.

Cloudline Tea feels and tastes like an upgrade. It's thoughtfully crafted and exceptionally clean, prioritizing balance and clarity over intensity. The energy is steady and sustained—no jitters, just calm, focused alertness. It tastes smooth, naturally sweet, and free of bitterness, making it both enjoyable and functional.
We loved learning about the quality of Cloudline and the benefits from it. I've stopped drinking coffee since I tried Cloudline and feel so much better now.
