Renude, the brand recognized for the famous Chagaccino, has now released the Chaga Matcha—a flavor combination that definitely sparks interest and undoubtedly brings many benefits to those who drink it. The drinking mix combines "100% ceremonial-grade matcha with wild-foraged Chaga, cacao, cinnamon, and monk fruit sweetener." The matcha is sourced from Yame, Fukuoka. The ingredients of this blend deliver a plentitude of health benefits, including antioxidants, adaptogens, and four times more L-Theanine than you'd get from a cup of green tea.
The taste of Renude's health-focused drinking mix is aptly described as "well-balanced, smooth, [and] slightly nutty matcha flavor," combined with "the perfect amount of sweetness." The Chaga Matcha is marketed as a healthier alternative to coffee, featuring about 60 milligrams of caffeine per cup.
