Mushroom Matcha: The Perfect Combo for Energy, Focus & Glow

Mushroom Matcha: The Perfect Combo for Energy, Focus & Glow

In the ever-evolving world of wellness, few trends have taken off quite like mushroom matcha. A fusion of ancient tradition and modern function, this dynamic pairing has become a daily ritual for those seeking clean energy, mental clarity, and radiant skin—all in one cup.

But what exactly is mushroom matcha? And why is this powerful combo gaining so much attention from nutritionists, wellness experts, and everyday drinkers?

Let’s dive into the science and the ritual behind DIRTEA Matcha. This functional drink combines ceremonial-grade Japanese matcha with Lion’s Mane and Tremella mushroom extracts, along with an organic B vitamin complex.

The Rise of Mushrooms & Matcha

Matcha has long been revered in Japanese culture for its vibrant green hue, antioxidant content, and ability to promote calm focus. But when combined with functional mushrooms like Lion’s Mane, the benefits expand far beyond what a single ingredient can offer.

According to Mushroom Drinks Market, Ocado Retail’s data reveals a 54% surge in functional health drink sales—matcha up 67%, and a survey found that 40 % of Gen Z have switched their morning tea or coffee for matcha or mushroom coffee in pursuit of calmer, cognitive-supportive energy.

What Is DIRTEA Matcha?

DIRTEA Matcha is a finely curated blend of:

• Ceremonial-grade Japanese matcha – known for its antioxidant and L-theanine content

• Lion’s Mane mushroom extract – a functional mushroom traditionally used to support brain health

• Tremella mushroom extract – known as the “beauty mushroom,” used to support skin hydration and radiance

• Organic B vitamin complex – including B5, B6, B12 and Biotin, to support energy, focus, and skin

It’s not your average matcha. It’s a functional formula designed to naturally elevate your day—without the jitters, without the crash, and without compromise.

Why Mushroom, Matcha Work So Well Together

Calm Energy Without the Crash

Caffeine can be a double-edged sword—great for energy, but often followed by a slump. Matcha contains a natural form of caffeine that’s slow-releasing, thanks to its high concentration of L-theanine, an amino acid known to promote relaxation and mental clarity without drowsiness.

When paired with Lion’s Mane, a mushroom traditionally used to support cognitive performance, you get a balanced boost—think calm alertness rather than wired and tired.

Plus, B12 and B5—both included in DIRTEA Matcha—contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, helping your body produce steady energy throughout the day.

Focus That Lasts

Whether you’re deep in work, in a creative flow, or simply managing a busy lifestyle, focus is your most valuable tool. Vitamin B6 in the formula contributes to normal psychological function, while Lion’s Mane adds extra support for mental clarity.

This makes Mushroom Matcha a smart morning or midday companion for those who want to feel sharp, grounded, and productive.

A Glow-Up in a Cup

Your skin is a reflection of what’s going on inside. While matcha provides a solid dose of antioxidants (hello, free radical defence), DIRTEA Matcha also includes Biotin, a vitamin known to help maintain normal skin and hair, as well as Tremella to keep your skin plump and youthful.

So while you're sipping for energy or focus, you’re also feeding your skin from the inside out.

Bonus: matcha’s chlorophyll-rich profile helps support your body’s natural detoxification processes, which is always a win for skin vitality.

A Ritual Rooted in Nature

What sets DIRTEA Matcha apart is its ritualistic nature. This isn’t just a drink—it’s a moment.

• Whisk it slowly

• Sip it mindfully

• Let the blend of earthy matcha and functional mushrooms ground you

In just a few minutes, you’ve created a calming yet energising space for yourself—something we could all use more of in our high-speed lives.

How the Vitamins Support the Experience

Every serving of DIRTEA Matcha is fortified with an organic B vitamin complex to support your day on multiple levels:

• Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid): Supports mental performance and energy metabolism

• Vitamin B6: Contributes to psychological function and hormone regulation

• Vitamin B12: Plays a role in reducing tiredness and supports immune function

• Biotin (B7): Supports skin health, hair maintenance, and metabolism

These vitamins work synergistically with matcha, Tremella and Lion’s Mane to create a functional drink that truly delivers.

When Should You Drink Mushroom Matcha?

DIRTEA Matcha is designed for daytime use. Ideally:

• Morning: To start your day with clarity and calm energy

• Midday: As a clean boost to help avoid the afternoon slump

• Before tasks: Like meetings, creative work, or study sessions

Because of its unique balance of L-theanine and caffeine, it’s less likely to disrupt your evening wind-down than traditional coffee.

How to Enjoy DIRTEA Matcha

It’s incredibly versatile. Here are a few ways to build it into your day:

• Classic Hot Matcha: Mix 1 tsp with hot (not boiling) water and whisk

• Matcha Latte: Blend with your favourite milk (oat, almond, or coconut work beautifully)

• Iced Matcha: Shake with cold water and pour over ice for a refreshing summer brew

• Smoothie Booster: Add a spoon to your morning smoothie for an extra boost

The Final Sip

Mushroom matcha is more than just a wellness trend—it’s a reflection of what modern consumers crave: simplicity, functionality, and beauty from within.

DIRTEA Matcha combines ancient Japanese tea tradition with powerful functional mushrooms and essential B vitamins to create a cup that supports your energy, clarity, and glow—naturally.

It’s time to elevate your caffeine ritual.
