Adrenal Junkie

Price: $7.99

South America has been drinking this leaf out of a gourd since before anyone thought to put caffeine in a can.

Adrenal Junkie is built on yerba mate not because it's trendy, but because it's what people actually reach for across Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, and southern Brazil, passed hand to hand through a metal straw.

Yerba mate is a holly relative, dried over smoke in the traditional method, grassy and faintly smoky.

Lemongrass is the classic partner in Latin America it goes into tereré, the cold version of the ritual — and it cuts the mate's edge with bright citrus.

Cordyceps militaris, cultivated rather than wild-harvested, is a mushroom with a long history in Himalayan and Chinese traditions.

Ginseng root, one of the most storied botanicals in the world.

Orange blossom honey finishes it. Light, floral, faintly citrusy, it extends the lemongrass rather than competing with it, and it's delicate enough to leave the mate's smokiness intact.

30mg of caffeine, all of it from the leaf. No synthetic anything.

Light, floral, faintly citrusy. Delicate enough to extend the lemongrass without touching the mate's smokiness.

Meet the Founder

Tea was always something I enjoyed making since a teen. What got me into creating a brand around iced tea was back in 2024 when my doctor diagnosed me with pre-diabetes. Then I came across the keto diet after hearing how much it helped to heal people but when I started going around my community for a simple meal or snack I realized where the problem stemmed from.

Not yet. Right now you can find us here and at pop-ups around Brooklyn — follow @herbalgenz for locations. We're working toward shelves, and the fastest way to get us there is people asking their local shop for us. If you own a store or know one that should carry us, get in touch.

Three of the six. Summer Sorrel, Trust Your Elders, and Sip and Slump have no caffeine at all — they're built entirely from herbs and flowers rather than tea leaves. The other three sit around 30mg per can, about a third of a coffee, and it's all naturally occurring.

Raw honey in every can which is equivalent to 7 grams of sugar, and that's all of it. No cane sugar, no high-fructose corn syrup, no artificial sweeteners. For comparison, most bottled iced teas run 25–35 grams and a lot of energy drinks are higher. Ours is lightly sweetened on purpose; the herbs are supposed to be the point.
