Vibal Energy Tea is not your stereotypical energy drink.

Hi. I’m Caffeine Scientist GreenEyedGuide. In this episode of the Caffeine at Midnight podcast, I want to talk about an energy drink with no artificial sweeteners nor flavors. This drink has as much caffeine as two cups of coffee, yet the caffeine comes from green tea extract. Do you know what it is? It’s Vibal Energy Tea, and today we’ll talk about the ingredients, whether this drink is safe and healthy enough to drink every day, and how this compares to a stereotypical energy drink like Monster Energy Rehab.

Have you ever looked at an energy drink and thought, “Is this good for me?” Don’t laugh – this question is not rhetorical.

Hi there. I'm Caffeine Scientist, Author, and Speaker GreenEyedGuide. I help people beat burnout with caffeine science.

More than 90% of the population drinks caffeine every day. But when and how you drink your caffeine makes a huge difference in your health and well-being. I use my science background to help people drink caffeine strategically. In other words, I help people work better, sleep better, and feel better.

I earned my degrees in biochemistry and food science. Then I wrote a book about energy drink ingredients and safety concerns. After that, I wrote a book about “How to Get Sh*t Done When You Feel Like Sh*t“. Above all, my goal as the “GreenEyedGuide” is to be a resource (ahem, a guide) for people who drink caffeine.
