Research programme · for people with conditions or symptoms
I’m inviting people with particular conditions and/or symptoms — including neurodivergence, ADHD, fibromyalgia, anxiety, brain fog, low energy, or an unreliable response to coffee — to apply for a complimentary first month of NooTea and share an honest 30-day experience diary.
In return, keep short daily notes and share initial and final feedback. Then membership is £29.99/month unless cancelled; postage is confirmed individually before registration.
Applying does not start billing or guarantee acceptance. No diagnosis evidence is needed.

Who we want to hear from
Coffee can feel great for some people and unpredictable for others: jitters, a brief lift, a crash, sleepiness, or simply not the response they expected. We want to hear from people living with varied conditions and symptoms, without assuming everyone’s experience is the same.
You can tell us about a diagnosed condition and suspected experiences separately. You do not need a diagnosis or proof. Sharing diagnoses or other health details is optional; an application is reviewed by a person.
First, what is NooTea?
NooTea Brew 2 is a fermented, aged Yunnan black tea blended with Lion’s Mane. It is a loose-leaf tea with a bold, dark, smooth character — its own flavour, rather than coffee imitation.
Brew it strong in a French press, cafetiere or strainer; drink it black or add milk for a latte. A generous amount of leaf gives it body, and the same leaves can be re-infused.
It contains caffeine. NooTea is not caffeine-free, medicine or treatment. We make no promise about how it will affect your symptoms or how you will feel.
The invitation, plainly
This is a founder-led product feedback programme. If approved, you receive the full-size pouch; in return, we ask you to try the drink and tell us what actually happens for you.
WE’LL PROVIDE
Approved applicants receive one full-size 300g pouch for their complimentary first product month. Postage is reviewed individually; it may be free or charged, and any charge is confirmed before registration.
Applying is not acceptance and does not start billing. Card details are requested only if you are approved and choose registration.
WE’LL ASK YOU TO SHARE
There is no “right” result and no need to recommend NooTea.
Starts after you confirm your pouch arrived and choose a start date. The 30-day experience diary is separate from billing.
If you register, your first paid charge is 30 days after successful registration — not delivery or diary start.
How it works
Tell us what you’d like to share. Health details are optional; no diagnosis evidence is needed. Applying does not guarantee acceptance or start billing.
We confirm postage and show the exact payment date and price before registration. Card details are needed only at approved registration.
Once you confirm it arrived, choose when to begin the 30-day diary. The diary clock is independent of the membership billing clock.
Write brief daily notes and share initial and final feedback. No benefit, dislike or unwanted effects are all important.
Unless cancelled, membership is £29.99/month for 300g. Cancel before the first paid charge to avoid it. You may also withdraw from the diary separately.

Richard's Brew Guide
Brew 2 is designed to be brewed with much more leaf than an ordinary tea. Even when brewed strong, it stays smooth and rounded rather than becoming bitter. Use a generous small handful (around two dessert spoons or 10–12g) and a small amount of water.
If in doubt, use more leaf, less water, then adjust later brews to your taste.
There are two ways I enjoy Brew 2 hot.
Many people prefer Brew 2 cold brewed for its calmer, steadier feel.
Brew 2 works particularly well with unsweetened soya or almond milk rather than dairy.
A clear boundary
NooTea is a food and drink product, not a medicine, and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any condition. This programme is about taste, ritual and personal experience, not clinical evidence or promised health outcomes.
Please do not change medication, treatment or care because of participation. If something feels unwanted, you can tell us and stop trying the drink; your feedback is still useful. Taking part does not automatically clear or exclude medical suitability.
Before you apply
Take your time. The offer and the diary are meant to be clear before you decide.
A note from Richard
I started making NooTea because I wanted a coffee alternative that felt satisfying to drink. I have my own experience of feeling calmer and more balanced with it, but that is personal experience — not evidence or a promise about what you will experience.
I want the full picture, including when the tea isn’t for you. Your honest feedback helps me understand the drink better.
Your experience matters
Apply for a complimentary first 300g pouch if approved, then share a 30-day experience diary and the requested feedback.
