For years, coffee was my crutch. I’d slam a cup first thing in the morning just to feel human — and within an hour I’d be buzzing, typing like a maniac, convinced I was unstoppable. But by late morning? The jitters would hit, my brain turned to static, and I’d crash so hard it felt like I was wading through literal mud.
That’s when I switched to matcha. It was smoother, gentler, and didn’t wreck my stomach like coffee did. But honestly? It never gave me that same flavor or energy punch I was secretly missing. I wanted to focus without the chaos and have the energy without the crash.
That was until I found MUD\WTR’s Matcha. I was intrigued by MUD\WTR’s mission — promoting sustainable habits that support calmer, more intentional daily routines. Their Matcha Blend is designed to boost energy, immunity, and mood with a fraction of the caffeine — no jitters, no 3 p.m. crash, no midnight regret spiral.
Sounded too good to be true, but when I dug deeper, I realized that this isn’t just one more trendy drink. So I gave it a shot, and I’m glad I did.
Here Are 7 Things I Wish I’d Known About MUD\WTR Matcha Sooner:
1. Matcha Doesn’t Have to Taste Like Boiled Grass
Regular matcha was too grassy for me, but MUD\WTR’s blend is mellow and grounded with warm spice notes and cozy cinnamon. A tablespoon in hot water, a quick froth with my free USB-rechargeable frother that comes with the starter kit, add a splash of oat milk, and voilà! Now that’s a creamy latte that’ll take me through those back-to-back calls.
2. Caffeine That’s Gentle But Effective
Each cup has about 55mg of caffeine — about ⅓ of a typical cup of coffee — and the difference has been huge. My sleep is better, my mornings are focused, and I no longer tank in the middle of a team meeting.
3. No More Stomach Trouble
Coffee always left me with a sour stomach, jitters, or that mid-morning “ugh” feeling. MUD\WTR’s Matcha is smooth and light, so I get the energy boost without the acid overload. My gut has settled down and my mornings are no longer a rollercoaster ride.
4. The Magic of Mushrooms in Your Mug
I didn’t think I’d ever care about functional mushrooms, but here I am officially obsessed. MUD\WTR’s uses a carefully crafted blend of USDA organic matcha and functional mushrooms, and superfoods:
- Lion’s Mane and matcha boost focus and clarity
- Cordyceps support natural energy and endurance
- Chaga + Reishi + Turmeric support your immune system
And the Cinnamon and Turmeric combo can help fight inflammation. Even the Himalayan Sea Salt plays its part in terms of hydration + balance. It’s so delicious compared to other brands’ matcha blends.
5. It’s Way Cheaper — and Smarter — Than My Old Coffee Habit
At $1.34 per serving with a subscription, MUD\WTR’s Matcha beats the ridiculous prices at my local cafe. My starter kit came with a free rechargeable frother, a free 45-day trial on the Open Mindfulness App, and free U.S. shipping. Plus, the 30-day money-back guarantee makes trying MUD\WTR basically risk-free. If it doesn’t agree with you, just send it back. But I’m hooked.
6. My Routine Finally Feels Sustainable
These days, my morning MUD\WTR Matcha ritual helps me crush it at work. And since it’s USDA Organic, gluten-free, vegan, non-GMO, and Whole30 approved, I feel like I’m taking care of my long-term health, not just getting through the grind.
7. Way Easier to Make Than I Expected
No need for fancy barista skills. A tablespoon of Matcha Blend, hot water, a quick froth, and I’m good to go. I can drink it straight, whip up a creamy oat milk latte, or toss it into a smoothie for a green upgrade. It takes less time than brewing coffee — and there’s zero mess.
Final Thoughts
Between the caffeine spin, foggy focus, and nightly insomnia, I was a mess. But MUD\WTR Matcha’s given me a lifestyle shift that’s completely grounded. I just wish I’d found them sooner. So if you’re stuck in the same vicious coffee loop — wired, tired, and super jittery— this is a sign. Get off coffee. Get into MUD\WTR Matcha Blend. You’re welcome.
