About Us
We're not here to follow trends - we create them! Upline Loaded Teas is the passion project of husband-and-wife team Nick and Jana, who are widely known as Silver Lining Lessons. We are the original brains behind the very first non-MLM loaded tea, built from the ground up with zero uplines, no shady recruitment tactics and 100% pure hustle. What started as a craving for bold energy and fun flavors without the pyramid scheme pressure turned into a movement.
We knew people deserved better. Better ingredients, better prices, better vibes without having to join a "team" just to enjoy a drink. So, we flipped the script, built our lane and poured everything into creating a product and brand that's as legit as it is delicious.
This wasn't an overnight success story. For years, we have been in the trenches building the loaded tea community and ultimately launching Upline. This isn't just a business - it's our family's heartbeat. While Jana was busy building a bold, scroll-stopping social media presence and turning followers into a fired-up community of friends, Nick was behind the scenes fine-tuning our signature flavors and engineering every system that keeps this business running smoothly. He built the core while she brought the spotlight to their dreams. Together, they blended creativity and strategy with hustle and heart into every sip you take, every post you double-tap and every seamless order you receive.
As the creators of the non-MLM loaded tea, we’re proud to bring you the finest instant loaded teas available. Backed by our extensive industry knowledge, we’ve crafted a product that stands out in taste, quality, and effectiveness. Developed by an in-house laboratory scientist, our teas are a result of years of research and innovation.
Our flavor expertise is unmatched—having worked alongside the largest powdered beverage manufacturer in the country, we’ve assisted in the launch of countless popular flavors. This deep understanding of flavor creation allows us to offer a range of tantalizing and unique options, perfect for any palate.
We don’t cut corners. Our teas are made with only premium green tea, sourced from a trusted partner whose mission aligns with our own. This commitment to quality ensures you’re getting the best product, with every sip providing a refreshing and energizing experience. If you want the best loaded teas on the market, you want an Upline Loaded Tea —where premium quality, flavor mastery, and industry expertise come together in every cup.
That's the Upline way! No outside investors. No big-name backers. Just two people obsessed with creating something better and doing it their own way. We may have outgrown our little kitchen, but our kids have stayed right by our sides. Whether it's helping pack orders, designing packaging, naming teas, giving honest feedback on flavor combinations, or just keeping us laughing through the chaos, they've seen what it means to dream big and work even bigger. Every part of this business is homegrown and personal.
Today, our mission is simple: serve up high-energy, low-BS teas that fuel your grind and make you feel good. No memberships. No scripts. Just real loaded tea made easy!
We didn't just create the non-MLM loaded tea and launch a tea brand, we built a full-on experience like no other from scratch. This isn't just another tea business. It's our legacy, and every sip you take is part of that story. Welcome to the new standard.
