Matcha with a high content of EGCG and L-theanine is one of the most potent natural ingredients in the world
While regular matcha primarily provides natural energy from matcha alone, the Holger Rune Zero Sugar Matcha Superblend combines ceremonial matcha with manuka honey, ginger, Lions Mane, yerba mate, MCT, and B vitamins for a more complete performance blend focused on sustained energy, focus, and recovery, inspired by elite sports.
The base is premium Japanese ceremonial matcha, combined with highly potent extracts of Lion's Mane (cognitive focus) and Cordyceps (physical endurance). Additionally, it contains Yerba Mate, MCT, New Zealand Manuka honey, as well as vitamins B6 and B12.
The result is a unique matcha that combines Lions Mane and vitamins with manuka and ginger, optimizing energy, focus, endurance, and delivering a rounder and more luxurious taste experience than traditional matcha, which can often be more bitter.
Lion's Mane has become popular for its potential to support brain function, focus, and learning.
Cordyceps is known for its potential to increase energy, stamina, and the body's oxygen uptake.
Together with matcha with natural caffeine content and vitamins, they create a blend developed with a focus on both mental and physical performance
It is the strategic interplay between the ingredients that makes the blend unique. Yerba Mate works in synergy with the matcha to deliver a steady and sustained energy boost, while supporting the body's natural fat burning (fat oxidation) during activity. The certified Manuka honey from New Zealand contributes its unique bioactive compounds and, together with a touch of ginger, rounds off the taste with a sophisticated and natural sweetness.
To protect the sensitive vitamins, antioxidants, and bioactive compounds in the matcha and Manuka honey, never use boiling water. Boil the water and let it cool until it is lukewarm.
Add 1 tsp. (4g) of matcha powder to your mug or water bottle, and pour 320 ml of hand-warm or cold milk over it. Whisk or stir vigorously with a milk frother or a matcha whisk until the powder is completely dissolved and a nice, creamy foam forms on top. Enjoy it as your new, regular morning ritual. Heat or add cold water and ice cubes, fill into a water bottle and get an ice-cold energy drink.
