About

The current product lineup consists of caffeinated brownies, cookies, and energy bites made with green tea caffeine, for sustained, focused energy without jitters or a crash. PUFs are vegan, gluten-free, and free of refined sugar.
Founding Story
PUFs was founded by Ilene Chen after a coffee addiction led to an emergency room visit. The wakeup call led Ilene to quit coffee the next day and learn more about green tea and the benefits of l-theanine. Ilene began incorporating green tea caffeine into her daily routine and was amazed at the sustained, focused energy she felt without getting jittery or anxious. She started experimenting in her kitchen with green tea extract, creating better-for-you snacks she could easily bring to power her through long, busy days. Fast forward a few years and several hundred recipes later, PUFs was born.
