If you’re craving an energizing drink and you can’t decide between refreshing matcha or rich coffee- you need to try my dirty matcha latte! You all know I am a huge matcha lover, (my staple is this vanilla matcha latte) but I have recently added back reishi coffee and this is the perfect way to combine them. This unique beverage combines the best of both worlds in one delicious cup, blending of creamy matcha and a shot of reishi coffee. Not only is it easy to whip up at home in under 10 minutes, but it also packs a powerful antioxidant punch thanks to the magic of matcha and amazing benefits from the reishi. This drink is so fun and I am so excited for you to try it!

What Is a Dirty Matcha?
A dirty matcha is a trendy coffee drink that combines two favorites: matcha and espresso.
What Is Mushroom Coffee?
It blends regular coffee grounds with extracts or ground medicinal mushrooms like reishi, chaga, lion’s mane, cordyceps and turkey tail. The coffee taste usually dominates, and some people don’t even notice the mushrooms. This coffee may have various benefits including reduced inflammation, a stronger immune system, better sleep and even improved focus.
Why Is Matcha Beneficial?
Matcha is brimming with antioxidants, particularly catechins. These antioxidants help fight free radicals, unstable molecules that damage cells and contribute to chronic diseases. Matcha contains caffeine and L-theanine, an amino acid that promotes relaxation. This combination may provide a calmer focus and alertness compared to just caffeine alone.
