Matcha green tea powder has become an increasingly popular alternative to caffeine-laden beverages like coffee. Rich in L-theanine, which enhances alertness without the jitters or caffeine crashes associated with traditional caffeine sources.

Mushroom matcha combines ceremonial grade matcha with ground dried lion’s mane mushrooms grown at Booneslick Heritage Farm and reishi mushrooms known for their balancing properties to improve focus, calm the mind, and increase immunity. Together these enhance results in terms of focus, stress reduction, and immunity enhancement.

Benefits

Matcha green tea powder features a dark green hue and rich texture, packed with amino acids such as L-theanine for alertness and focus without the jitters associated with coffee. Matcha also contains polyphenols, catechins and methylxanthines which help boost metabolism, lower cholesterol levels, reduce stress and protect against heart disease – while adding full dose mushroom extracts increases its flavor profile and functional benefits further.

Mushrooms have long been used by traditional cultures to improve both physical and mental health. Functional mushrooms such as reishi, chaga, turkey tail and cordyceps offer potential to improve mental clarity, immunity, energy levels and reduce inflammation within the body. Recently, however, an increasing number of companies are combining matcha with mushrooms in functional drinks that can be enjoyed as smoothies or lattes – these blends could even benefit athletes looking for endurance!

By 2030, it is expected that global sales of functional mushrooms will surpass $19 billion, showing people’s interest in these potency herbs and their benefits. However, it must be remembered that not all products containing them provide equal results.

Matcha and mushrooms might seem like an unlikely pairing, but in reality it’s actually very natural and healthy. Matcha is a green tea that has been shaded during its final weeks before harvest to promote chlorophyll production and create more nutritious tea that contains antioxidants, potassium and calcium as well as the mind-boosting abilities that boost brain function, metabolism and mood improvement.

Our mushroom matcha is an organic blend of ceremonial grade matcha combined with seven potent functional mushroom extracts (lion’s mane, reishi, turkey tail, chaga, cordyceps and maitake) specifically chosen to help promote calm focus, memory retention, reduced anxiety and stress, enhanced immune system function, decreased inflammation and sustained energy. You can whisk this adaptogenic blend in almost boiling water or milk until frothy for a delicious cup of matcha or add it into smoothies and other recipes for added nutritional boost.

Ingredients

This adaptogenic blend features organic ceremonial-grade matcha green tea powder combined with seven powerful mushrooms including lion’s mane, cordyceps, chaga, turkey tail, shiitake maitake and reishi for optimal calm focus, stress relief, memory support, reduced inflammation, immune system boost and sustained energy without jitters or crashes. Hand blended in Asheville NC!

Shade-grown gyokuro green tea powder provides both intense flavor and antioxidant benefits. Dried and ground in granite mills to produce tencha – the raw material from which matcha is made – which is then combined with other ingredients and mixed with reishi for additional customization before being packaged up for sale. Matcha powder can then be whisked into hot water, used to make lattes or smoothies or added directly to foods such as cereal. Its finely milled reishi powder won’t create lumps when whisking, while dissolving well when whisked together with water or milk!

Mushroom matcha can be found both in health food stores and online, from brands like Kettl, Atlas Tea Club, Ryze, MUDWTR and Clevr Blends. Although some products use specific formulations for their mushroom matcha products, all use high-grade Japanese tencha and reishi powders to craft it.

Some companies also add extra ingredients such as turmeric, ashwagandha, MCT oil, and Himalayan sea salt for flavor and enhanced benefits. Although the cost can be higher for these items, they may provide extra nutritional benefits that could prove valuable for certain individuals.

Health benefits may make this tea appealing, but the taste may put some people off. Reishi tea tastes similar to fresh green tea and mushroom dirt combined, with its slight aroma masking the sweetness of matcha tea. Some companies have attempted to address this by increasing reishi content in their mix while reducing tencha consumption, or by adding other flavors that mask its earthy flavors.

Preparation

Functional mushroom extracts and matcha tea have joined forces to bring you an exquisite beverage for immune-boosting, cognitive enhancing benefits. Made of premium ceremonial grade matcha and lion’s mane mushrooms, it will add value and enjoyment to your daily health regimen.

This product utilizes ground lion’s mane powder, designed to easily dissolve in hot water while providing powerful nutritional benefits from reishi. Furthermore, matcha’s high antioxidant count acts as an ideal complement to reishi’s famed anti-inflammatory properties.

Matcha green tea is grown under shade for several weeks prior to harvest, increasing chlorophyll content and giving it its vibrant green hue. Furthermore, matcha contains amino acids like L-theanine that promote mental clarity and calm without the effects of caffeine consumption.

This specific product combines a potency dose of reishi with adaptogen gotu kola to relieve stress and increase energy. Together they make an effortless combination for combatting stress and increasing energy, producing a creamy yet non-mushroomy drink that tastes neither bitter nor mushroomy; matcha helps cover up its taste as it masks any trace of reishi flavor while you can easily customize its ratio with lion’s mane to your individual preferences.

When selecting ceremonial grade matcha, make sure it’s organic and grown in Kyoto’s Uji region of Japan. While culinary grade matcha can be used for baking and cooking purposes, ceremonial grade matcha features only premium leaves from first harvest gyokuro tea that have been carefully milled to create its delicate silky texture that quickly whips into a smooth beverage.

For optimal results, prepare matcha by whisking it with either water or milk of your choosing and at low temperature to preserve all the sweet water-soluble compounds that make up this delicious beverage. Feel free to customize it further by incorporating ginger powder, pink pepper (especially), cinnamon or other herbs as desired; additionally you could also try honey or natural sweeteners such as Stevia to bring out its full flavors and sweetness.

Flavor

Matcha can be difficult for some people to take to, and adding functional mushrooms makes the beverage more accessible. Mushroom matcha also adds umami flavoring that enhances its earthy flavors and complements those of green tea. Ryze, MUDWTR, Clevr Blends, and Pow have developed mushroom matcha beverages with earthy notes from functional mushrooms like reishi, lion’s mane turkey tail chaga maitake cordyceps or shiitake for an alluring green flavoring and earthy functional mushrooms taste like fresh green tea leaves!

Matcha tea stands apart from coffee by including more of its entire leaf and high amounts of antioxidant catechin EGCG, both known to support cognitive function, reduce oxidative stress and boost immune health. Furthermore, matcha is abundant with L-theanine an amino acid which has been shown to promote calm focus and stress reduction.

This adaptogenic blend of organic ceremonial-grade matcha and seven powerful mushrooms was specially created to support balanced energy, healthy immunity, improved memory and concentration, gut health and reduced inflammation. Prep is simple – simply whisk 1 teaspoon of powder with boiling or hot water (160degF to 170degF), whisk until lumps dissolve, add milk as desired and serve. Enjoy as a warm matcha latte or mix into smoothies and baked goods for an adaptogenic boost!
