Supposedly, it tastes like “a strawberry and a matcha plant fell in love at a farmers market.”
That’s how MUD\WTR describes its limited-edition Strawberry Matcha drink — a take on the trendy summer drink with a healthier twist. A 10-serving bag is currently available for $40, while supplies last.
The brand-new blend packs more than 1,800 milligrams of powerful, functional mushrooms, including lion’s mane for mental clarity, cordyceps for natural energy and reishi for immune support.
With less than a gram of sugar per serving, the new flavor uses real organic strawberry powder instead of overly sweet artificial syrups.
And, reviewers say they can taste the difference, and even those who are usually sensitive to earthier flavors say this blend goes down surprisingly smooth.
“I don’t usually like matcha, but my partner swears by MUD’s regular matcha, so I decided to try out this one,” one reviewer explained.

“The strawberry takes away all the bitterness that I don’t like about matcha and is sweet enough that I don’t have to add sweetener, but not so sweet that it tastes like dessert,” they exclaimed.
All of the mushrooms are USDA-certified organic and grown in California, closer to home than many mushroom products, which are imported from overseas.
MUD\WTR says they are “selected for their unique capacity to support mental and physical functions” — and no, they’re not that kind of mushrooms. According to the brand, you won’t experience any psychoactive effects.
Unlike some heavily caffeinated drinks, MUD\WTR’s Strawberry Matcha blend contains just 40 milligrams of caffeine — a gentler boost for those trying to avoid the crash. It’s an excellent option for anyone looking for a lighter, healthier coffee alternative.
