What goes into this mushroom matcha latte
Mighty Mushroom is a mushroom matcha latte blend made in collaboration with Fantastic Fungi. It combines organic ceremonial matcha with three mushrooms: maitake, chaga and reishi. It is produced in small batches, and it is vegan and gluten-free.
How mushroom matcha powder tastes
A fair first question is whether it tastes of mushrooms. Not strongly. The mushrooms add an earthy, woody depth, and the matcha and a hint of sweetness round it out. The result is smooth and nutty, with a creamy feel in a latte and a lingering, earthy-sweet finish. It is fuller in body than plain matcha whisked with water. It contains caffeine from the matcha.
How to make it
For a hot cup, stir 1 tablespoon (6 g) into a mug of hot water and mix well, then sweeten if you like. For a latte, mix the same tablespoon with a splash of hot water until smooth, then pour in frothed milk, hot or over ice. Oat milk suits its nutty side. Our Organic Matcha Latte blend also includes lion's mane, reishi and ashwagandha.
