About Clean Energy

The 3 PM Antidote

This blend is designed to conquer brain fog. We combined the two most effective natural stimulants on the planet, Green Tea and Yerba Mate, to create a sustained lift that lasts for hours. It provides the wake-up call of coffee but leaves out the jitters and the inevitable crash.

Why It Works

We didn't stop at caffeine. We fortified this blend with Ginkgo Biloba and Ginseng, two legendary herbs known for supporting memory and mental clarity. The flavor is bright and herbaceous with a touch of lemon, making it an invigorating choice for long work sessions.

The Focus Ritual

Deep work mode. Brew a large pot when you need to power through a deadline. The combination of caffeine and L-theanine promotes a state of "alert calm" that helps you stay in the flow. Drink it plain or with a squeeze of fresh lemon.

Organic Ingredients
  • Organic Yerba Mate
  • Organic Peppermint Leaf
  • Organic Schisandra Berries
  • Organic Eleuthero Root
  • Organic Ginkgo Biloba
  • Organic Licorice Root
  • Organic Eucalyptus Leaf
Tasting Notes

Aroma: Grassy and bright. It smells like a fresh meadow with a hint of citrus.

Flavor: Clean and herbaceous. The earthiness of the Mate is lifted by the crispness of the Green Tea and Lemon Myrtle.

Finish: Refreshing and light. It leaves the palate feeling awake.

Why You'll Love It

The Synergistic Lift: By blending Green Tea (fast release) with Yerba Mate (slow release), we created a caffeine profile that is both immediate and enduring. You get the best of both worlds.

Brain Food: Ginkgo Biloba is one of the oldest living tree species and has been used in traditional medicine for centuries to support healthy blood flow to the brain.

Your Questions About Clean Energy, Answered.

Does this have more caffeine than coffee?

It is comparable to a light roast coffee. It contains roughly 60-70mg of caffeine per cup. The difference is the quality of the energy, which feels smoother and more focused due to the presence of L-theanine.

What does it taste like?

It tastes primarily like a high-quality Green Tea but with more body. The Yerba Mate adds an earthy depth, and the Lemon Myrtle provides a natural citrus sweetness that brightens the whole cup.

Will this make me jittery?

Most people find it does not. Unlike coffee or energy drinks which can cause heart palpitations, the herbs in this blend support the nervous system. It is designed to provide focus rather than frenzy.

FAQs Simply Answered

Are YBTCO’s Teas Truly Organic?

Yes, every ingredient we source is certified USDA Organic. Our commitment is to craft our blends using only teas and botanicals from growers whose agricultural practices steward a better tomorrow.

While Yerba Buena Tea Co. as a company has not yet completed its own formal USDA Organic certification, our standards for purity and sustainability are unwavering. When you sip our tea, you’re tasting a commitment to clean soil, fresh air, and the honest labor of growers who share our belief that tea should be as good for the earth as it is for your cup. You can taste this commitment in our Connoisseur Collection.

Where Are Your Teas Blended and Packaged?

Every YBTCO tea is hand-blended in small batches in our dedicated tea kitchen located in beautiful Salem, Oregon.

Our process is slow by design. Blending in small lots allows us to ensure every pouch delivers maximum freshness, flavor, and the just-picked aroma that makes our teas special. It's a level of craftsmanship you can taste in every cup, especially in our Connoisseur Collection. We package each order with care so you can enjoy a touch of the Pacific Northwest, wherever you are.

Do Your Teas Contain Allergens or Gluten?

Your safety and enjoyment matter deeply to us. All YBTCO teas are naturally gluten-free and blended in a dedicated facility that does not process tree nuts (except coconut), wheat, barley, or rye.

The only common allergen you’ll find in our collection is coconut, which we use in select blends like our Maven Blend for its creamy, tropical note. We use no added flavorings, colorings, or artificial ingredients, just whole leaves, spices, and botanicals as nature intended.

If you have specific questions or sensitivities, our team is always happy to help you find the perfect tea with peace of mind. Please feel free to contact us.

What Is Your Tea Refill?

We believe good tea, and good habits, should be sustainable. That’s why YBTCO offers our teas in two forms to reduce waste and keep your tea fresh:

  • Start with a Signature Tin: Our beautiful, reusable, and recyclable tins are perfect for keeping your tea fresh on the shelf. They also make a wonderful present, which is why they are featured in our Gifts for Tea Lovers Collection.

  • Restock with a Refill Bag: When you're running low, simply order a refill bag to top up your tin. Our refill bags use minimal packaging and ensure you always have the freshest possible tea on hand.

This practice means less environmental impact and a ritual that feels good every time you open the lid.

What Is Your Shipping Policy?

We strive to get your tea to you as quickly and efficiently as possible so you can start enjoying it. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Processing Time: All orders are hand-packed with care and typically ship from our Salem, Oregon tea kitchen within 2 - 3 business days.
  • Shipping Methods: We ship via USPS and UPS. You will be able to select your preferred carrier and shipping speed during checkout.
  • Shipping Costs: Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on the weight of your order and your location. We offer free standard shipping on all orders over $70.
