I used to drink black tea with coconut oil every morning, then I found out a great caffeine alternative that tasted much better and changed my morning ritual. My new morning ritual is a coffee alternative consisting of organic ingredients lauded by cultures old and young for their health and performance benefits. With 1/7th the caffeine of coffee, mud gives you natural energy, focus, and more without the jitters and crash. It has a similar appearance to cocoa powder. It’s a combination of masala chai, cacao, turmeric, cinnamon, Himalayan sea salt, and four types of mushrooms: lion’s mane, cordyceps, chaga, and reishi.

Each ingredient was included in this blend for a specific purpose, and the various ingredients are touted for advantages including increased alertness, stamina, focus, mental performance, an abundance of “phytonutrients,” and practically every other wellness buzzword.

My first sip practically took me across the globe. While I’ve never been to India, the flavors brought to mind the spice markets and colorful walkways I hear about and see in photographs.

The cacao, cinnamon and turmeric add unique layers of flavor that tone down the chai and prevent mushroom flavors from peeking through. It tasted, frankly, like a latte, which was delightful.

The MUD\WTR was also easy to make (you just pour the powder into some hot water.), I even took it to my camping trip the last weekend, to keep my energy up to take care of my scouts.

For me, the side effects justified the cost in time and money. Want to try it out for yourself? MUD\WTR is currently sold only through their website that you can access on this link
