Why Our Mushroom Matcha Might Be the Smartest Drink in Your Wellness Routine

At Space And Time, we’ve been paying attention to what our community is loving and all signs point to our matcha. It's quickly becoming the hero of our lineup, and for good reason. This isn’t just your average green tea. Our organic matcha is sourced directly from Kagoshima, Japan, the birthplace of traditional matcha cultivation. This region is known for producing the world’s finest ceremonial-grade matcha, and we’re proud to say that’s exactly what we’re offering.

But what really makes our matcha special is what we’ve blended it with. It’s not just a soothing, antioxidant-rich drink, it’s a powerful daily ritual packed with functional ingredients. Think of it as six different supplements in one delicious cup: matcha, lion’s mane, saffron, mimosa bark, L-theanine, and L-tyrosine. Each one brings its own benefit, from brain health to gut support to mood regulation. Together, they create something that’s far more than the sum of its parts.

Let’s talk mood. Saffron, yes, the same spice often used in cooking is emerging as a natural mood enhancer. It’s even being called "nature’s antidepressant," and it’s currently trending hard on TikTok for its feel-good benefits. Pair that with matcha, known for its calm energy, and lion’s mane, which supports focus and cognitive clarity, and you’ve got a drink that helps you feel more balanced and clear-headed without the caffeine crash.

We’ve also started to hear feedback from customers who are using our matcha blend to support blood sugar balance and even appetite control. While we’re not making any medical claims, research does suggest that matcha may help improve insulin sensitivity, and saffron has been studied for its ability to reduce cravings. In an age where people are seeking natural ways to support their health, whether it’s metabolic wellness, hormone balance, or even weight management, these benefits are striking a real chord.

The matcha movement is only growing. Japan can hardly keep up with global demand, and you’ve probably seen matcha content all over social media from “matcha men” switching from coffee to tea, to wellness experts touting its anti-inflammatory properties. But not all matcha is created equal. That’s why we focus on sourcing the highest quality, shade-grown, stone-ground matcha available free from fillers and grown with care.

Functional medicine leaders like Dr. Mark Hyman, Andrew Huberman, and Dr. Will Cole have all talked about the power of green tea, lion’s mane, and saffron. We're not just following trends, we're aligning with a movement backed by science and real results.

And it’s not just brain health and mood that our matcha blend supports. The ingredients also play a role in gut health and digestion, areas deeply connected to overall wellness. Lion’s mane has been shown to support the gut-brain axis, while saffron and mimosa bark may help with inflammation and digestive balance.

At the end of the day, we created this blend for one simple reason: we wanted something that tasted amazing, felt good to drink, and truly supported the way we live. Our matcha isn’t just a product, it’s a daily moment of intention, nourishment, and clarity.
