The drinks come in 250ml slim cans that each have 8mg of caffeine from matcha green tea alongside 80mg of L-theanine, which work together to boost energy levels in a way that won't cause jitters. The drinks are laughing in four fruit-forward flavors including Very Cherry, Strawberry, Lemon Lime and Juicy Peach, which each have no added sugar. The energy drinks are arriving in the UK at [Holland & Barrett](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-wellness-tap), [Sainsbury's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/real-good-vodka), Tesco, Ocado and [Whole Foods Market](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uncle-matts-organic-yerba-mate-energy-tea).
