Frequently Asked Questions
How much caffeine does Zum Zum Highland Bold contain?
As a premium black tea, this blend contains naturally occurring caffeine typical of full-bodied black teas — ideal for morning energy without the intensity of coffee.
Does black tea have health benefits?
Yes. Black tea contains antioxidants and has been associated with heart health, mental alertness, and sustained energy. This Zum Zum blend delivers these natural benefits in a delicious, full-flavored cup.

Absolutely. This blend is specifically formulated to shine when prepared with milk or cream, which enhances the malty character and brings out the brightness of the premium black teas.
