If you’ve scrolled through wellness TikTok or the drinks aisle lately, you’ll know that the functional beverage trend is in full swing. Sparkling adaptogenic teas, mushroom coffees, and nootropic tonics have officially moved from niche health stores to supermarket shelves; all promising to calm, energise, or focus the mind, without the caffeine crash or sugar overload.
Enter SipZen, a wellness drink brand inspired by Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and built on one simple idea: balance in a bottle. Combining Eastern herbal wisdom with Western functionality, SipZen offers lightly sparkling, fruit-forward teas infused with adaptogens, sea botanicals, and nootropics. The result? A range of drinks designed to nourish body and mind – no pill boxes required.
Having spent the last 16 weeks sipping my way through all three blends, from the earthy Assam Melody & Melon to the refreshing Sencha & Yuzu and the invigorating Kiwi & Pear Wellness Shot, I can say SipZen does offer a mindful moment in the day. It get’s me back on track when my day feels hectic and chaotic.
The flavours and functions
Each SipZen blend is crafted to support a different aspect of wellbeing, guided by the elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Here’s how they stack up:
Assam Melody & Melon – for grounding and vitality
Infused with bold black Assam tea and the gentle sweetness of ripe melon, this blend represents the Earth element; grounding, centring, and restorative. It’s designed to support digestion and provide steady energy without the jittery aftermath of caffeine.
From the first sip, the Assam Melody & Melon is smooth, subtly fruity, and balanced. The melon note softens the robust black tea base, creating something that feels both refreshing and comforting.
Sencha & Yuzu – for clarity and focus
Rooted in the wood element, this green tea and yuzu blend combines nootropics and sea botanicals to promote mental clarity and calm alertness. The result is a zesty, aromatic infusion that brightens both mood and mind.
I found the Sencha & Yuzu to be energising in the mid-afternoon slump. It delivers a gentle lift, no spikes, no crashes; just smooth, sustained focus. The crisp, citrusy scent of yuzu makes it especially refreshing straight from the fridge.
Kiwi & Pear Wellness – for energy and immunity
Representing the Fire element, this blend packs sea moss, ginseng, and adaptogenic botanicals to recharge your system and strengthen immunity. It’s the boldest of the three, designed to ignite inner vitality while keeping your qi (life force) in balance.
Slightly tangy with a natural sweetness from the fruit, the Kiwi & Pear Wellness shot is a great pick-me-up before workouts or long writing days. It’s compact, flavourful, and promises a noticeable sense of renewed energy without the need for a coffee boost.
My overall thoughts and results after 16 weeks
After 16 weeks of drinking SipZen, I can say it’s felt like a great addition to my supplement routine. From the first week, it became a natural part of my daily routine – one can in the morning or early afternoon, chilled straight from the fridge.
It is refreshing yet functional and each flavour delivered a clean, crisp taste with no artificial aftertaste and zero added sugar.
Overall, SipZen feels like a modern wellness ritual; equal parts hydration, nourishment, and intention. For those looking to cut back on caffeine, balance hormones, or simply upgrade their hydration routine, this is a refreshing place to start.
