One blend for your morning, one for your night
Swap your second coffee for green tea, then shut the day down with zero caffeine
Day Balance gives you a smaller caffeine hit that holds through the morning, no 11 a.m. crash. Night Calm has no caffeine at all, so the evening cup does not follow you to bed.

The short version
TeaVela is two blends packed in pyramid tea bags, 28 tea bags to a zip top pouch. At one cup a day, a pouch runs you four weeks. Nothing to measure, nothing to plug in.
The idea fits in one line: one blend built for the front of your day, one built for the end of it. Day Balance is green tea with lemongrass, citrus peel and soft mint. Night Calm is a flower blend with no caffeine in it. Both are ordinary food, sold as tea. Neither one is a dietary supplement or a drug.
Cup by cup
No vague promises. Here is what each cup gives you, and the reason it works that way.
A cup of Day Balance carries about 30 mg of caffeine, roughly half what a shot of espresso hands you. In green tea that caffeine travels with L theanine, an amino acid that slows how fast it reaches your bloodstream. What you feel: a gradual lift that runs three to four hours, instead of a spike at 8 and a crash at 11.
Peppermint and lemongrass sit in Day Balance for a reason. Both have been served hot after meals for generations, and a warm cup supports digestive comfort right when your stomach is doing the most work. It also gives you something to reach for besides dessert or a third coffee at 3 p.m.
Night Calm has no caffeine, so unlike black or green tea after 6 p.m. it does not push your bedtime back. Chamomile and lavender are the two evening plants people reach for most. Brewing the cup becomes the moment you close the day out, and that repeated routine is what helps you drop the pace.
Two 8 oz (250 ml) cups a day add about 16 oz (500 ml) of fluid to your intake, with no sugar, no sweetener and not one calorie. Most people drink more when it has some flavor to it than when it is one more glass of plain water on the counter.
The lineup
Same four minutes, opposite jobs. One gets you moving, one brings you down, and both live in the same cupboard.
Green tea lifted with lemongrass, citrus peel and a touch of soft mint. The cup pours pale gold and tastes bright and lemony, with none of the bite green tea picks up when it sits too long. This is the one that takes over from your second coffee.
Chamomile, lavender, peppermint and rose petals, with zero caffeine anywhere in the blend. The cup turns a soft rose color and tastes floral and gently honeyed. This is the one you can pour at 10 p.m. and still sleep on.
Inside the tea bag
Six plants, six jobs. Not one of them is in the blend to pad out the label.
The only caffeine in the whole collection, about 30 mg a cup. Green tea also brings L theanine, the amino acid that gives you the lift without the jitters or the racing pulse.
This is the citrus note you catch before the cup reaches your mouth. Served after meals across Southeast Asia, it stretches the green tea out without weighing the cup down.
Menthol is what makes the cup read as fresh the second you sip it. It works in both blends: sharp and forward in the morning, dialed back at night so it does not wake your palate up.
The base of Night Calm and the most poured evening flower there is. It brews soft and faintly honeyed, and it is the reason the blend stays round and never turns bitter at six minutes.
A few flower tops scent the entire cup. Lavender is the signature aroma of Night Calm, the thing that tells you which blend is steeping from across the kitchen, before you ever taste it.
They give Night Calm its rose color in the glass and a floral roundness that softens the chamomile. A finishing touch, on the flavor and on the look of the cup alike.
These are the headline plants, not the full recipe. The complete ingredient list and the allergen information are printed on every pouch.
Four minutes, start to finish
No scale, no pod, no machine on the counter. One tea bag, hot water, four minutes of waiting, and your cup is done.
The pyramid shape is what lets whole leaves and flower heads open all the way, which a flat compressed bag never allows. That is why a long steep here stays smooth instead of going bitter on you.
Drop in one tea bag
One pyramid tea bag per cup. Day Balance in the morning, Night Calm from early evening on.
Pour 8 oz (250 ml)
Use water at about 195°F (90°C), just off the boil. A rolling boil scorches the plants and costs you aroma.
Steep 4 to 6 minutes
Four minutes for a light cup, six for a fuller one. Both blends take the long steep without turning bitter.
Drink it your way
Hot, or chilled and poured over ice in summer. A squeeze of lemon or a spoon of honey if you want it, though neither is needed.
Read this before you pour your first cup.
TeaVela is tea. It is a food, not a drug and not a dietary supplement, and nothing on this page is medical advice. Day Balance carries caffeine from green tea, so skip it late in the day if caffeine keeps you up. If you are pregnant or nursing, the general guidance is to stay under 200 mg of caffeine a day from all sources combined, coffee and soda included. If you are pregnant or nursing, taking prescription medication, or living with a chronic condition, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before you make either blend a daily habit. Check the ingredient list on the pouch if you have a known allergy, especially to plants in the daisy family, which is where chamomile belongs. Keep the pouches closed, dry, away from heat and direct light, and out of reach of young children.
The difference
The tea aisle is stacked with boxes that promise calm and energy on the same carton, then add flavoring to cover for powdered plants. TeaVela was built the other way around.
Whole leaves, not dust. The pyramid tea bag gives leaves and flowers the room to open up in the water. You can see it in the cup and you can taste it: the brew is still smooth at six minutes, where powdered fannings go bitter by three.
Two blends tuned to two hours of the day. Caffeine in the morning blend, none at all in the evening one. No soft compromise in between. Each recipe was built for the time you actually drink it, not to be vaguely acceptable at any hour.
Plants, and nothing added. No sugar, no sweetener, no artificial flavor. The taste comes from the lemongrass, the chamomile and the mint themselves, which is also why it shifts a little from one harvest to the next.
A pouch that keeps the aroma in. The zip closure shuts the tea bags away from air and humidity. Tea bag 28 smells as strong as tea bag 1, which never happens with a cardboard box that has been open in the cupboard for a month.
Straight from the cupboard
What comes up again and again: the flavor, the hour each blend earns its place, and what the two cups ended up replacing.
I traded my second coffee for Day Balance and the 11 a.m. crash went away with it. Bright, lemony, and I make it to lunch without hunting for a pick-me-up.

Night Calm is how our house knows the day is over. TV off, two cups on the counter, and everybody drops a gear. My husband asks for his now.

The pyramid bags are the whole thing. You watch the leaves open up, and even when I forget it for seven minutes the cup does not go bitter on me.
Alyssa T.Denver, CO, customer for 4 months
I was barely drinking water during the workday. One cup in the morning, one at night, and that problem solved itself without me tracking a thing. No sugar either.
Brandon P.Charlotte, NC, customer for 3 months
That zip pouch actually works. Three weeks in and the chamomile and lavender still hit you when you open it. My old boxes were flat long before that.
Hannah W.Minneapolis, MN, customer for 6 months
Two blends, two times of day, no decisions to make. First tea I have ever finished instead of finding half a box in the back of the cupboard a year later.

Asked all the time
Day Balance is green tea blended with lemongrass, citrus peel and soft mint. It carries about 30 mg of caffeine per cup and works from your first cup of the day through mid afternoon. Night Calm is chamomile, lavender, peppermint and rose petals with no caffeine at all, built for the evening.
Only Day Balance has any: about 30 mg per cup, roughly half a shot of espresso and well under a standard mug of drip coffee. Night Calm has none, because none of its plants contain caffeine to begin with, so it is safe to pour late.
Drop one pyramid tea bag in your mug, pour 8 oz (250 ml) of water at about 195°F (90°C), and steep 4 to 6 minutes. Four minutes gives you a light cup, six a stronger one. Pull the bag and drink it plain, or add lemon or honey if that is your preference.
Every zip top pouch holds 28 individually portioned pyramid tea bags, which is four weeks at one cup a day. If you drink both blends daily, order one pouch of each to cover the month.
No. TeaVela is tea, sold and labeled as a food, not as a dietary supplement and not as a drug. It makes no disease claims and it is not a substitute for meals, sleep, exercise or anything your doctor has prescribed.
Ask your doctor or pharmacist before you make it a daily habit. General guidance during pregnancy and nursing is to keep total caffeine under 200 mg a day from all sources, which is worth counting if you drink Day Balance. Some plants can also interact with prescription medication.
None. Neither blend contains sugar, sweetener or artificial flavor, and the cup has zero calories as long as you pour it plain. All of the taste comes from the plants themselves, which is why the aroma shifts slightly between harvests.
Two pouches, 28 pyramid tea bags each, four weeks of routine and four minutes of work morning and night. That is the entire system.
