"I Tried The Top 5 Mushroom Matchas. Here's What Actually Worked."

By Samantha L., 34, MKT in Austin

I've been drinking mushroom matcha for years.

I started with Ryze, then tried Mud/Wtr and Everyday Dose. I liked them all for different reasons, but none of them really stood out.

Sometimes I'd feel calm, but also unmotivated.

Other times, I got the energy but still couldn't focus.

And a few blends tasted... off.

So I decided to test four of the most popular brands side-by-side. I gave each one a full week. Here's what surprised me, and why I now only keep one in my routine.

I just wanted something that would actually help me focus.

Most mushroom coffees taste decent and feel health, but they didn't deliver the kind of clarity I needed for work, parenting, or the gym.

Ryze made me feel relaxed, but too mellow and I didn't like the flavor.

Mud/Wtr was flavorful, but didn't give me much drive.

Everyday Dose gave me a little lift, but it faded fast.

Clevr had too much sugar and was the most expensive per serving.

I wanted something smoother than coffee, without the jitters, and added brain benefits.

Then I tried Neubrain.
And everything changed.

What Stood Out Immediately

The first time I tried Neubrain, I felt the difference within 30 minutes. I wasn't jittery - just clear. Focused but calm.

It was the first time a mushroom blend actually helped me get in the zone.

It felt like my brain had finally caught up to my to-do list.

Emails got easier. Conversations flowed. I didn't procrastinate or fidget.

I remember thinking: "This is how I should feel after my morning drink."

And then I flipped the pouch over and realized why Neubrain worked so much better: they add more than just mushrooms.

While other brands sprinkle in 2 or 3 mushrooms, Neubrain packs their blend with 5 mushrooms, 3 patented ingredients, and over 2500mg of brain-boosting nootropics.

See for yourself:

How Neubrain Stacks Up Against Others

Once I saw the ingredient list and felt the effects, it made sense. Neubrain isn't a classic 'mushroom matcha' - it's a complete cognitive formula.

Other brands are okay, but they're limited.

Some lean too hard on mushrooms and forget about real energy.

Others include adaptogens but skip ingredients that help with absorption or performance.

Neubrain combines what actually matters:

✅ 100% Fruiting Body Mushrooms (no mycelium)

✅ Patented ingredients for real results

✅ Jitter-free caffeine that won't spike cortisol

✅ 100% Organic ceremonial grade matcha

Real-Life Results (That Lasted)

What really sold me was how consistent Neubrain felt.

I didn't get a random crash mid-day.

I didn't feel like I needed a second cup. I was still sharp in my 4pm meetings.

I even recommended it to a few friends - one's a full-time mom juggling kids and side projects.

She texted me:

"Okay this Neubrain stuff is unreal. I actually remembered everything I needed to do and did it!!"

Bonus? It also tastes amazing.

It's deliciously creamy, like my favorite matcha - no bitterness, no weird mushroom funk.

I usually mix it with oat milk and cinnamon. Sometimes I add it to my smoothie for an extra boost.

My mornings are smoother. My focus lasts longer.


And I don't spend the rest of the day chasing the energy I already burned through.

Honest Thoughts On Other Brands

The other brands are good, but for me, they just didn't do what I wanted.

Neubrain was the only one that gave me calm focus and real productivity.

It's like everything I was trying to get from the other brands, in one scoop.

And I’m not alone.

"SOOO GOOD! I literally felt the difference in one day. WAY BETTER mental energy with this stuff. I'll be buying more soon."

- Jasmine T.

"I've tried Ryze, Everyday Dose, and Mud/Wtr. Neubrain is the only one I keep coming back to."

- Tucker G.

Why It Works (When Others Don't)

Neubrain doesn't just throw mushrooms together and hope for the best.

It's built with clinically backed ingredients that work together - not just alongside each other.

Lions mane mushroom
Supports memory, learning, and long-term brain health.
L-Theanine
Promotes calm, alert focus by smoothing out the caffeine.
CognatiQ® (NeuroFactor)
A patented coffee fruit extract shown to boost BDNF (a key brian growth protein).
BioPerine®
Helps your body absorb the ingredients so you feel it working.

And yes - it includes caffeine (105mg), but without the crash, jitters, or afternoon slump.

It gives you real fuel, not fake hype.

The result?

✅ You don't just feel good - you actually get more done.

Final Take

If you're already into mushroom matcha (or even mushroom coffee), I don't need to sell you on the concept.

But if you've tried the big names and still feel like something's missing, Neubrain is worth trying.

It helped me feel clear without feeling wired.

Energized without anxiety.

Productive without needing a second dose.

Neubrain was made for clarity, to help you feel like yourself... not someone barely keeping up.

It helped me take back control of my energy. It helped me focus without feeling frantic. And I think it might do the same for you.

If you're going to drink mushroom matcha, drink one that actually works.

Customer photo review of Neubrain Smart Coffee + 4 FREE Gift Bundle!

Ok, Ï know that most individuals take the time to leave a review because they really like a product. However, I am blown away by how much more productive it makes me. Most days I have 1 cup, some 2 cups. Depending on what I want to get done. I can feel the difference within an hour at most of finishing my cup. It has me fixing things around the house that have been broken for years, cleaning my cabinets out, organizing closets. Not because of the caffeine :) but because it makes my brain function differently. Even feels like I have more time, neurodivergent brain are special indeed; but my motivation came back. I’ve been drinking mushroom coffee for a few months now, but this one has me blown away.

I hate mushrooms. Absolutely hate them, BUT this coffee is the best thing added to my daily routine. It does have that earthy smell/taste to it, not the worst. At first I added a little syrup to it which was fine. Then I started adding a scoop into my regular coffee, Nutty Caramel by Donut Shop(I drink my coffee black). Now I get the amazing benefits of the Neubrain with the taste of my usual coffee. I went from drinking 4 to 6 cups of coffee to only the two cups I make in the morning. I feel energized throughout the day. I'm not as groggy as I was waking up in the morning. I feel alert. My focus is starting to slowly improve, but I also have ADHD (undiagnosed) so I don't expect a miracle there, but I have noticed improvement. It's been around a month now, and the energized feeling hasn't worn off like it usually does with other caffiene products once you consume them daily for a period of time. I did spend time reviewing each company, their benefits, and costs. Neubrain was the overall winner and I'm very satisfied with my choice!

This is the first mushroom coffee to do what it claims. My energy levels are high I have my Neubrain coffee in the mid morning. It gets me going and keeps me going thru my whole 2nd shift job as pizza cook. I work 2:00 pm till 10:00 pm and I can plow right through the night and out last everyone else on my shift. They ask me how do I have the energy to keep up and work so fast. I tell them it the new mushroom coffee I drink just before work that’s all. It’s called Neubrain mushroom coffee.

New brain is surprisingly fantastic. I have used a couple different mushroom coffees and I always had to mess the taste with some other kind of liquid creamer with this. I just use Lena creamer original no added flavor and a little bit of collagen and mix it with water, hot water. I feel focused. I don’t have brain fog and the taste is absolutely delicious. I really am so pleased with this purchase.

I would recommend it to a friend if they like mocha lattes it tastes exactly like a mocha latte. I wanted more of a coffee flavor. I did get the Smart chai latte and it is amazing. I’ve only been taking it four days now really haven’t felt a difference, but I know I have to give it at least 7 to 14 days. The taste is amazing and it blends wonderful.

I'm a bus driver, so my mornings start way before most people's alarms go off. I need to be alert, focused, and steady behind the wheel, with people counting on me to get them where they're going safely. That means I can't afford a big sugar crash halfway through my route. NeuBrain Coffee has become part of my early-morning routine. I get steady energy that carries me through my shift without the spike-and-crash I used to get from sweetened drinks. It has amazing taste, smell, and smoothness. It's the kind of coffee I can drink cold or hot lightly doctored and still enjoy.

I have been using this product for several months. I performed a lot of research on various mushroom coffee products before purchasing. I have not been disappointed. I take my coffee black with no additives and this product tastes like coffee. I start every morning with Neubrain. As I like coffee flavored coffee, this fits the bill. Nutritional and functional benefits are difficult to express, but I have noticed a shift towards less fatigue and less joint pain. I will continue using Neubrain.

I have yet to get completely away from regular coffee, but ive mixed in other mushroom coffee brands with my regular morning mug and they didn't seem to produce the desired result. Neubrain however has me hooked. I get the immediate energy boost from my regular coffee and mixing Neubrain into it provides me with energy and calm throughout the rest of the day! I suffered 2 gunshots wounds to the head in April of 2020 and its difficult for my brain to get functioning right but Neubrain does the trick much better than the other brands of nootropic coffee. Love that they add L-theanine into it for a calmer experience!

Tried other brands…Ryze, Cuppa, HabitOne and a few others and can confidently say that Neubrain is the best overall! I enjoy the taste, with just one cup a day, my energy levels are sustained throughout the day without spikes or crashes that were normal with my previous 3-4 cup a day regular coffee habit. Good to be back w/ Neubrain!!
