The Republic of Tea HiCAF Breakfast Black Tea — 50 Tea Bags, High Caffeine

Kick-start your day with a bold, energizing blend from The Republic of Tea. HiCAF Breakfast Black Tea pairs the deep, roasty notes of chicory with premium black tea and a dash of green tea extract, delivering a measurable lift that many tea drinkers value in their morning routine.

HiCAF stands for a deliberate caffeine level enhanced by natural sources. By incorporating green tea extract and caffeine isolated from premium tea leaves, this blend offers a heightened caffeine presence alongside the calming influence often associated with tea minerals like L-theanine. The result is a state of calm alertness, what some tea enthusiasts call a focused, ready-to-tackle mood that helps you start tasks with momentum while staying grounded enough to think clearly through the morning fog.

Flavor and aroma guide your senses from the first inhale to the last sip. The brown-roasted chicory anchors the cup with a robust, slightly toasted sweetness, while black tea provides body and depth. The green tea extract adds a bright finish that lingers on the palate, making this a versatile choice for those mornings when you want a dependable, full-flavored cup to accompany early work sessions or study bursts.

Brewing is straightforward and forgiving, so you can tailor the cup to your preferences. Start with fresh, filtered water brought to a rolling boil. Place one bag in 6 ounces of hot water and steep for 2–4 minutes, tasting as you go. Shorter steep times yield a lighter cup, longer times deepen the aroma and body. After you’re finished, compost the used tea bag to nourish garden soil or container plants, making the ritual a small, sustainable moment in your day.

Beyond the mug, consider how this tea can fit into different routines. A morning commute or desk-ready break can become a confident pause with a cup that clearly signals “time to focus.” The blend’s bold character also stands up to a splash of milk or a drizzle of honey for those who enjoy a creamier texture. While taste is personal, many tea enthusiasts appreciate the balance between the roasted chicory, black tea, and the subtle lift from green tea extract as a reliable, repeatable ritual.
