If you’re anything like me, then you’re a person who actually can’t function without that beautiful thing we call caffeine. I’ve been a coffee drinker since I was in high school (really unique, I know) and have tried tons of alternatives:
1. Red Bull
2. Suffering
Neither of these were sustainable options because I need the little kick-in-the-butt that coffee gives me or else I’m subject to yelling at someone I love. I truly didn’t know there was a real coffee alternative until I found Tenzo.
I’d heard of matcha before but I had always thought it was some pistachio-green drink that would cost $14 at Starbucks. Turns out, it’s concentrated green tea powder that tastes incredible and gives more of a boost than my ole cup o’ Joe. Tenzo knows what they are doing with this stuff because I am energized throughout my day without feeling jitters, anxiety, and eventually crashing. You might be thinking, “Yeah, but coffee beans are cheap.” Well, get this—Tenzo could cost you less than $1 a day.

Yeah. I’d also be remiss if I didn’t mention how easy this stuff is to make in the morning.
- Mix 1 tsp Tenzo Tea with 2 oz. water in a glass (the hardest part)
- Add ice cubes
- Combine with some milk (optional)
- Why are you still reading the steps you finished making it??
