Tennis star Holger Rune launches
natural matcha superblend with Mission
- Tennis player Holger Rune has partnered with the company Mission on a new matcha superblend, developed based on his search for natural solutions for high performance.
- The sugar-free blend of ceremonial matcha, manuka honey, Lions Mane, vitamins and ginger has been developed over 12 months, based on Holger's routines around match days, and the taste was carefully selected by Holger.
- This is Mission's second athlete collaboration, following Formula 1 driver Pierre Gasly.
For Holger, it’s about sustained, natural energy without artificial ingredients. It's the kind of clean, sustained-release energy he uses to get through a five-set match and be ready to do it again the next day.
The blend can be consumed hot or cold before, during, or after training and competition.
“When I’m preparing for a big match, everything I put into my body matters. I needed something that would keep me stable, without crashes.”
“The world makes it harder to live healthy today, because so much is artificial. If it's not sugar, it’s artificial sweeteners. As a player, you want good things in your body because you want to avoid inflammation. This is where healthy drinks like matcha come in – as natural and pure as possible.”
This search for natural performance was what initially attracted Holger to Mission. He learned about the brand through recommendations and had been a customer since 2024, before meeting founder Tom Whittle last summer.
A conversation about matcha, manuka honey, and recovery between long matches developed into a 12-month project. The result was a sugar-free blend of ceremonial matcha, yerba mate, nootropic ingredients, and essential B vitamins, designed for sustained energy. The taste was chosen by Holger: manuka honey and ginger.
Holger has been using New Zealand manuka honey daily for over a year and feels it has helped him stay strong through a tough season.
Tom Whittle, founder of Mission, states:
“This is our second athlete collaboration, and a project I am particularly proud of, because it started with a genuine customer and fan of the product – not as a campaign idea.”
“Holger represents everything Mission stands for: performance, focus, and a commitment to well-being without shortcuts. He wanted something completely natural, sugar-free, and without artificial ingredients – nothing he would hesitate to consume at the highest level.”
The launch expands a product range already used by players from the Premier League, the English cricket team, Formula 1 teams, and hundreds of British elite athletes.
About Mission
Mission launched its performance drinks in 2019 after founder Tom Whittle completed 17 marathons in 10 days in Iceland, with Mission products as his sole energy source. Today, the company works to offer natural and sustained energy based on sustainably sourced ingredients.
