1,000 Mile Tea delivers sustained, clean energy without the jitters or crash of coffee. Its naturally high caffeine content from premium black and white tea leaves provides smooth, long-lasting alertness that keeps you focused and energized throughout your day. The malty-sweet flavor profile makes each cup a pleasure to drink, whether you're tackling a demanding project, embarking on an outdoor adventure, or simply need reliable energy to power through. With the ability to re-steep up to four times, one serving goes the distance, offering exceptional value and convenience. This isn't just tea. It's the fuel that legendary mushers trust in the most extreme conditions on Earth, now available for your own personal quests.

For Maximum Energy:

  • Use 1 tablespoon of loose leaf tea per 8 oz of water
  • Heat water to 200-212°F (just below or at boiling)
  • Steep for 3-5 minutes for first infusion
  • Re-steep up to 4 times, adding 30-60 seconds to each subsequent steep
  • Adjust steeping time to taste: shorter for milder flavor, longer for bold intensity

Pro Tips:

  • Use a tea infuser, French press, or strain through a fine mesh
  • For iced tea, steep double-strength and pour over ice
  • On-the-go? Steep in a thermos and sip throughout the day

Natural Sustained Energy: The combination of black and white tea provides a balanced caffeine release, promoting alertness without the sudden spikes and crashes associated with coffee or energy drinks.

Rich in Antioxidants: White tea is one of the least processed teas, preserving high levels of polyphenols and catechins that support immune function and combat oxidative stress.

Mental Clarity: L-theanine, naturally present in tea, works synergistically with caffeine to enhance focus, concentration, and cognitive performance while promoting a calm, centered state of mind.

Metabolic Support: Black tea has been shown to support healthy metabolism and cardiovascular function, making it an excellent choice for active lifestyles.

Hydration: Unlike many caffeinated beverages, tea contributes to your daily fluid intake while providing functional benefits, essential for endurance and performance.

Q: How much caffeine does 1,000 Mile Tea contain? 

A: Each cup contains approximately 60-80mg of caffeine, comparable to a strong cup of coffee. Because you can re-steep up to 4 times, subsequent cups will have progressively less caffeine.

Q: Can I drink this tea in the evening?

 A: Due to its energizing properties, we recommend enjoying 1,000 Mile Tea in the morning or early afternoon. If you're sensitive to caffeine, avoid drinking it within 6 hours of bedtime.

Q: Why is it called 1,000 Mile Tea?

 A: The tea is named after the grueling 1,000-mile Yukon Quest dog sled race, where mushers rely on this tea for sustained energy and mental clarity in extreme Arctic conditions.

Q: How many times can I really re-steep the leaves? 

A: Most people can successfully re-steep 3 to 4 times while still enjoying good flavor and energy. Each steeping reveals slightly different flavor notes while maintaining the tea's energizing properties.

Q: Is this tea organic?

 A: While we source high-quality tea leaves, we recommend checking the product label or contacting us directly for current certification information.

Q: How should I store my tea? 

A: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, strong odors, and moisture. The reusable bamboo lid helps keep your tea fresh. Properly stored, loose leaf tea maintains quality for 12 to 24 months.

Q: Will this tea break my fast? 

A: Plain 1,000 Mile Tea without additions contains negligible calories and is generally considered acceptable during fasting periods. However, consult with your healthcare provider regarding your specific fasting protocol.

Q: Can I add milk or sweetener? 

A: Absolutely! While many enjoy the natural malty-sweet flavor on its own, feel free to customize your cup with milk, honey, or your preferred sweetener.

1,000 Mile Tea offers a complex and satisfying flavor experience that sets it apart from ordinary black teas. The blend opens with bold, malty notes reminiscent of toasted grains and dark honey, creating a robust foundation that commands attention with the first sip. This richness is beautifully balanced by a natural sweetness that lingers on the palate, eliminating any need for added sugar.

Layers of Complexity

The white tea component adds delicate floral undertones and a smooth, silky texture that softens the black tea's boldness. Together, they create a harmonious balance between strength and subtlety. You'll notice hints of caramel and a slight nuttiness that emerge as the tea cools, while a gentle earthiness grounds the entire experience.

Smooth and Never Bitter

Unlike many high-caffeine teas, 1,000 Mile Tea maintains remarkable smoothness even with longer steep times. The carefully selected tea leaves produce minimal astringency, resulting in a cup that's powerful yet refined. Each re-steep reveals new dimensions of flavor: the first cup delivers full-bodied intensity, while subsequent steeps highlight the sweeter, more nuanced notes.

Versatile and Satisfying

Whether enjoyed plain to appreciate its natural complexity or enhanced with milk for a creamier experience, this tea adapts beautifully to your preferences. Its malty-sweet character makes it equally enjoyable as a morning energizer or an afternoon pick-me-up, delivering consistent flavor and satisfaction mile after mile.
