One tea to get you moving, one to shut the day down
Daily leans on yerba mate, guarana and four different teas. Every pyramid measures out 18 mg, roughly a third of what one espresso shot hands you, and the rise climbs steadily instead of spiking. Sleep drops caffeine to zero and works from rooibos, chamomile, lavender, valerian and passionflower.
4.8 average, counted across 186 buyers.
The short version
Two teas make up Sipeva, one built for daylight hours and one for the end of the night. Inside a zip pouch sit 28 pyramids at 2.5 g apiece, 2.5 oz net, which is 70 grams. Brewing once a day drains it in four weeks, and a sealed wrapper protects each pyramid on its own.
Split the day and you split the recipe: one cup for the workday, another for the shutdown. Around its 4 teas Daily arranges 12 botanicals, lands on a peach note that occurs naturally, and declares caffeine at 18 mg a bag. Sleep sets 9 botanicals on rooibos and carries none.
Where it shows up
Here is the mechanism behind each mug, one ingredient and one milligram at a time.
Each Daily pyramid measures out 18 mg caffeine, about one third of a single espresso shot. Every milligram is plant caffeine: guarana seed supplies the most, with oolong, sencha and matcha adding the rest alongside yerba mate. Tannins in those leaves grip the molecule and release it slowly, so the curve climbs instead of spiking. Onset lands around minute 15 or 20, the lift runs a good 3 hours, sometimes 4, then eases off with no drop at the end.
Three plants in Daily earn their place once the meal is done: nettle, lemongrass and dandelion leaf, all steeped after eating for generations. Poured hot and taken plain, a mug backs digestive comfort up while your stomach gets to work. It also fills the slot dessert would have claimed, or the afternoon's fourth coffee.
Sleep reads zero on the caffeine line, so a mug at 11 p.m. shifts your bedtime by nothing, which black tea can never promise. Eight plants sit around the rooibos base: valerian, passionflower, chamomile, catnip, saffron, lemon balm, lavender and dandelion leaf. Steep one 30 to 60 min ahead of lights out. Hitting the same hour every single night is what turns the mug into a signal.
Two mugs at 8 fl oz (240 ml) each put 16 fl oz (480 ml) more fluid into the day. Stevia leaf carries the sweetness by itself, so the cup arrives with no calories and no added sugar. Brew a pitcher at night, chill it, tip it over ice: the glass empties faster that way, and most people pour a second.
Daily starts the clock, Sleep stops it. Twenty botanicals across the two pouches, and dandelion leaf is the only name printed on both labels.
The frame is four teas: sencha and matcha up front, oolong for body, yerba mate underneath. Eight more botanicals fill it out, and a peach note, natural and soft, keeps the brew round rather than tannic, the way green tea turns when the bag sits too long.
A rooibos base does the heavy lifting and adds zero caffeine to the count. Eight more plants sit alongside it. Pour the mug out and the infusion runs copper, floral on the nose, with honey just behind.
Twelve belong to Daily, nine belong to Sleep, and dandelion leaf is the only name printed across both pouches. Below: where each one comes from, and what it changes about flavor, color or caffeine.
Matcha
DayGrowers tarp the bushes for about three weeks before harvest, which deepens the green and builds up theanine. The powder never fully settles, so your mug stays jade to the last mouthful.
Yerba mate
DayA holly cousin from the Parana basin, dried over wood fires before milling. That smoke is what you taste under the fruit, and mate hauls a big chunk of the daytime caffeine.
Oolong
DayRolled into pellets that unwind slowly once the pyramid fills. Fujian growers chase it for orchid and stone fruit aromatics, which is exactly what the peach note grabs onto.
Sencha
DaySteamed within hours of picking, which locks the color in instead of letting it brown off. That single step is why Daily pours pale yellow green and not amber.
Goji berries
DayGrown on the Ningxia plateau and sun dried whole, skins and all. In hot water they plump back up and release a mild tartness that keeps the fruit side from going flat.
Guarana
DayRoasted and milled to a cocoa brown grit by growers along the Amazon. Its caffeine sits locked inside fiber, so it comes out late and covers the stretch where mate is fading.
Ginseng
DayThe root sits underground four to six years before anyone lifts it, which is why so little of it goes into any blend. On the palate it lands sweet up front and dry at the back.
Dandelion leaf
Day and nightYoung spring leaves, never the roasted root, so nothing here reads like coffee. Herbalists have poured it after heavy meals for generations, and it brings no caffeine to either pouch.
Nettle
DayDrying kills the sting for good, and what survives tastes closer to cooked greens. It darkens the liquor a shade and gives the water something solid to sit on.
Lemongrass
DayIts citral is the same molecule that makes lemon peel smell like lemon, minus the acid. Chill Daily overnight and this is the piece that carries loudest over the ice.
Milk thistle
DayA Mediterranean weed named for the white marbling that runs along its leaves. The seeds are the part worth steeping, and they finish nutty and dry rather than perfumed.
Stevia leaf
DayNative to Paraguay, where it went into gourds of mate centuries before any lab extracted it. A pinch of dried leaf sweetens a full mug and adds nothing you would count as a calorie.
Rooibos
NightCut green, bruised, then left out in the sun until the needles turn brick red. Tannins run low in it, which is how Sleep holds that copper tint without ever tasting sharp.
Chamomile
NightOnly the blossoms go in, gathered at full bloom and dried whole. The Greeks called it earth apple for its scent, and that apple note is the first thing off the steam.
Lavender
NightBuds only, cut in July when the oil peaks. Overdo lavender and a drink turns soapy fast, so it sits deliberately low in the recipe.
Lemon balm
NightMelissa is Greek for bee, and keepers used to rub the leaves inside empty hives to pull in a swarm. It smells like the fruit in that photo, though no citrus ever enters the bag.
Passionflower
NightSpanish missionaries in Peru read the story of the crucifixion into the parts of the bloom and named it accordingly. Vine and leaf are what steep here, and they land soft, green and quiet.
Valerian
NightFresh out of the ground the root hardly smells; drying is what pulls up that heavy cellar note. Cats respond to it much the way they respond to the last plant on this list.
Saffron
NightThe crocus opens for barely two weeks in fall, and pickers work before sunrise while the flowers are still shut tight. Crocin, the pigment in its stigmas, dissolves in seconds and lays a gold sheen across Sleep.
Catnip
NightColonists across New England steeped this long before imported black tea got cheap. Nepetalactone, the compound that sends a cat sideways, does nothing whatsoever in your mug.
Treat this as a tour, not the legal panel. The pouch itself carries the complete ingredient list along with everything you need on allergens.
Kettle on, timer set
Boil, pour, wait. That is the whole routine. One pyramid drops into the mug; 8 fl oz (240 ml) heated to 195 °F (90 °C) follows, and five minutes later you have a finished cup.
Geometry matters more than it sounds. Torn leaf and whole flower heads need somewhere to expand, and a four sided sachet hands them that room. Crush the same material into dust inside a flat envelope and the tannins come rushing out, which is how a cup turns bitter while your back is turned.
Start with a single pyramid
Set one pyramid in the mug. Add 8 fl oz (240 ml), pulled off the burner just under 195 °F (90 °C), since a full boil scalds delicate flowers. Reach for Daily in the morning hours and Sleep once the evening winds down.
Give it five minutes
Tune the timer to your own palate. Stop at 4 minutes for something delicate; hold out to 6 and the botanicals speak up. Forget the mug entirely and neither blend punishes you with bitterness.
Warm now, or chilled later
Take the sachet out and sip it plain. Or park the mug until it cools, tip the liquid into a glass of ice and float a lemon wheel on the surface. That is all the recipe asks.
A short read, and only needed once.
Sipeva is not a drink for children, so park the pouch well above their reach. Readers with diagnosed allergies should check the label before brewing, especially anyone reactive to the Asteraceae family, since dandelion and chamomile both sit in that botanical group. Three of our plants, milk thistle, valerian and passionflower, can change how certain prescriptions behave, so anyone under medical supervision, on regular medication, expecting a baby or nursing one should raise it with a doctor or pharmacist before adopting an everyday ritual. Health authorities set the ceiling at 200 mg per day through pregnancy and while nursing, counted across everything you drink. Daily is where the caffeine lives, 18 mg per pyramid, so sensitive drinkers may prefer it in the earlier hours and should tally that figure alongside their coffee and any other tea. Above all, remember what is in the mug: an herbal infusion that accompanies a balanced plate rather than standing in for one, and no cup of anything replaces a prescription, a proper night of rest or an hour of exercise. Store it sealed, somewhere cool, dry and shielded from direct light.
Our case, briefly
Most boxes on the shelf hedge their bets, promising rest and vigor at once while a sprayed on flavoring props up whatever thin material sits inside. Sipeva was built the other way round, one botanical at a time.
A roster of twenty botanicals.The average supermarket infusion gets by on a trio of leaves and a spray of flavoring. Daily carries twelve botanicals, Sleep carries nine, and every note in the cup traces back to that assembly with nothing bolted on. Growing seasons differ, so the aroma drifts a little between production runs.
One formula for morning, another for night.Your body wants different things at sunrise and at bedtime. Daily is where the caffeine lives, 18 mg per pyramid; Sleep holds none at all. We would rather ship two committed blends than a single hedged one asked to cover the whole clock.
Roomy pyramids, individually wrapped.Space is the point. A four sided sachet lets flower heads and torn leaf unfurl instead of being pressed thin by a paper envelope. Each one arrives inside its own sealed film, and that is how the last pyramid in the pouch smells as bright as the first.
Nothing else goes in.Skip the dye chart and the synthetic sweeteners; no sugar was added either. What you taste, the peach edge of Daily, the soft finish of Sleep, comes straight from goji berries, chamomile flowers and stevia leaf. Both recipes are free of gluten and free of anything animal derived.
Six routines, six mugs
186 buyers have rated the pair so far and the average sits at 4.8 out of 5. The notes below run longer than most: what got swapped out, how people steep it, which plant caught them by surprise.
My second coffee of the morning became a Daily pyramid and I have not gone back since. Coffee used to land on me hard around nine and leave me foggy well before lunch. This one climbs slow, maybe a quarter hour after I pour, then holds flat rather than dumping me on the floor.
Colleen M.Portland, buying for 10 months
Two bags go into a quart pitcher before bed, straight to the refrigerator, and cold tea is waiting when I get up. I fill a tall glass with ice, add a squeeze of lime, done. August around here turns any hot drink into a joke, so this is what carries me through it.
Brett A.Austin, drinking it since last January
Each bag arrives sealed on its own, which is why three or four ride loose in the side pocket of my laptop case. They come through airport security looking untouched. At the other end all I need is a mug and whatever hot water the office or the hotel can give me.
Naomi F.Minneapolis, buying for 8 months
Kettle goes on at nine, Sleep steeps while I finish the dishes, and by the time I sit down the house has gone quiet. That little routine matters more to me than the flavor does, honestly. Not a trace of caffeine sits in the rooibos, so the hour I pick is never a question. My wife took up the same habit a month later.
Wesley D.Charleston, on Sleep since last November
The lift felt nothing like coffee, so I went and read the ingredient panel properly. Turns out most of the caffeine is coming off guarana seed, with ginseng sitting right beside it. Neither one was on my list of things I ever pictured going into a tea bag, and now I look for them.
Shelby O.Boulder, tenth pouch in
What won me over is bag twenty eight tasting like bag one. Loose leaf in a tin always went dull on me by the second week, no matter how tight the lid was. Since every pyramid stays wrapped until I rip it open, the peach on the finish is still doing its job when the pouch runs dry.

Straight answers, no filler
Your clock picks for you. Daily piles twelve plants onto a frame of four teas, yerba mate out front with oolong, sencha and matcha behind it, then a true peach edge plus 18 mg caffeine in each bag. Pour it from the alarm on through 4 p.m. Sleep leans on rooibos plus eight more, valerian and saffron among them, and it carries not a milligram, so save that mug for the wind down.
One pyramid per mug. Your water should land near 195 °F (90 °C), just shy of boiling. Pour 8 fl oz (240 ml) over it. Four minutes gives you something gentle, six gives you grip. Fish out the pyramid. Serve it steaming, or chill the brew, crash it onto ice, and float a lemon wheel up top.
A four week supply. 28 pyramids ride in the resealable pouch, every single one tucked into a sealed foil sleeve, 2.5 grams apiece, net weight 2.5 oz (70 g). Brew once a day and that carries you a solid month. Switch between recipes within the same day and you will want one pouch of each.
Only the morning blend has any. Each bag runs about 18 mg, drawn from tea leaf, guarana seed, plus the yerba mate. Figure a shade under a third the jolt an espresso gives you. Sleep reads zero, because nothing in that recipe makes caffeine, and a mug at 10 p.m. will not shove your bedtime around.
Soft and fruity right away. Peach rides above the goji fruit. Underneath, the teas handle the structure: matcha and sencha stay green and grassy, oolong rounds things off, yerba mate turns faintly toasted. Lemongrass lifts the middle. Stevia leaf closes it out. Nothing sweet gets poured in and no flavor was engineered.
Sure. These are plain plant infusions, built for a routine, at a mug or two across your waking hours. Daily does bring caffeine, so count that 18 mg alongside your coffee and whatever else you steep, and stop wherever your own body says stop.
Before you build a habit around it, loop in your physician or ask a pharmacist. Guidance for pregnancy and nursing puts a 200 mg ceiling on caffeine each day, counting everything you drink, and Daily has to fit inside that number. Milk thistle, passionflower and valerian may also change how some prescriptions behave. Kids should skip the range entirely.
Zero on both counts. Neither recipe takes poured sugar or a factory sweetener, neither carries gluten, and plants are all that go in. Daily gets its roundness from goji fruit, with stevia leaf rounding it off. Stir nothing extra in and your mug stays calorie free.
A pouch holds twenty eight pyramids, enough for thirty days of drinking: pour the first mug after waking, pour the second once the day is done. Five minutes in hot water, and nothing else needs remembering.
Pick up a pouchPublisher and affiliations
Nobody writing for sipeva.org holds equity, a board seat or a signed agreement with the company that blends these teas, with the firm distributing them, or with whoever registered Sipeva as a trademark. Covering this range editorially is where the publication starts and stops. Selecting a format, handing over payment and taking delivery of a parcel all happen on the merchant platform each button opens, never here.
The commercial arrangement
Card numbers never reach sipeva.org, since no order is processed on this domain. Money arrives instead as a referral fee: a shop returns a small percentage whenever somebody who arrived through one of these links later checks out. Buyers are charged exactly what the store lists, so that fee adds nothing to a basket. Neither does it grant visibility into anyone's account, which is why a query about dispatch, a swap, a cancelled order or money back belongs with the vendor that took the order.
Pictures, testimonials, trademarks
Treat these pages as advertising. No newsroom checked them and no laboratory signed them off. Studio setups produced each image, framed to display a pouch and the atmosphere around it; a photograph proves nothing whatsoever about results. Testimonials record one person's own account and no more, so nobody should read a promise into them. Logos, brand names and other distinctive signs quoted anywhere here belong to whoever registered each one.
Health and consumption notes
Sipeva sits in the herbal drinks aisle rather than a pharmacy: no medicine is being sold, and no infusion replaces varied meals, proper rest or regular movement. Each Daily pyramid supplies caffeine at 18 mg, which is why mornings suit it better than evenings if stimulants keep you awake. Anyone pregnant or breastfeeding counts that figure toward the 200 mg daily maximum advised across every source. Neither blend suits a small child. Where an allergy is known, a treatment already under way, or something simply unclear, put the question to a doctor or pharmacist beforehand.
