It's 2:47 PM. You're on your third coffee. Your leg is bouncing under the desk, your heart is doing a drum solo, and you just reread the same Slack message four times.

You're wired. You're not focused. And somewhere around 3 PM, the crash shows up like it pays rent.

You don't need to quit caffeine. You just might not need a giant cup of it every few hours. Here's why a lot of students and founders are swapping coffee for a mushroom matcha called STILL.

About half the caffeine of a coffee. Way less vibrating.

A serving of STILL has about 50mg of caffeine, roughly half a cup of coffee. Plus it brings matcha's naturally occurring L-theanine along for the ride.

Enough to show up. Not enough to hear your own heartbeat.

If you're caffeine-sensitive and coffee turns you into a shaky, sweaty, racing-heart mess, a smaller dose is a pretty reasonable place to start. Matcha's caffeine plus L-theanine supports calm, focused energy.*

The 2–3 PM crash doesn't have to be a daily event.

You know the one. Lunch hits, your third coffee wears off, and your brain quietly logs off while your body stays in the chair.

Instead of slamming another cold brew, try an iced STILL. A smaller dose of caffeine with L-theanine supports steady, focused energy* so you can actually finish the thing, not just stare at it.

Less spike. Less crash. More "wait, it's 5 already?"

"Can't function before coffee" isn't a personality.

If you need a cup just to form sentences, and another to stay a person, coffee has kind of been running your schedule.

Six mushrooms in every scoop: Lion's Mane, Reishi, Cordyceps, Shiitake, King Trumpet and Turkey Tail. That's 7,500 mg of mushrooms per pouch, or 250 mg in every serving, with premium Japanese matcha.

Lion's Mane supports focus and mental clarity.* Cordyceps supports energy and stamina.* Reishi supports calm.* Shiitake and Turkey Tail support immune health.*

No six-bottle supplement stack. No mushroom-powder side quest. Just one drink.

STILL ingredients: Japanese matcha plus Lion's Mane, Reishi, Cordyceps, Shiitake, King Trumpet and Turkey Tail

Your stomach (and your 10 AM meeting) will notice.

Coffee on an empty stomach can feel like drinking a small acid bath. And coffee breath in a pitch meeting or a group project? Nobody's saying anything, but everybody knows.

Matcha isn't coffee. That's kind of the point.

Different drink, different vibe. Most people have theirs with oat milk, hot or iced.

Sleep like someone who didn't have cold brew at 4 PM.

That late-afternoon coffee has a way of showing up again at 1 AM, when you're wide awake, doom-scrolling and calculating how many hours until your alarm.

About 50mg per serving means a lighter afternoon pick-me-up. Scoop, mix, sip: about 30 seconds. Hot in the morning, iced over oat milk at 2 PM, your call.

Honest taste note: it's matcha, so it's earthy. You don't really taste the mushrooms. It's a little earthy on its own; with oat milk (and maybe a little honey) it's way better. That's how most people drink it.

Quick questions

Is 50mg of caffeine actually enough?

It's about half a coffee. For a lot of people that's a nice middle ground: enough to feel awake without the jittery overload. Matcha's L-theanine supports calm, focused energy.* If it's not for you, the 30-day guarantee has you covered.

Does it taste like mushrooms?

Not really. It tastes like an earthy matcha. It's best with oat milk (hot or iced), and a little honey doesn't hurt.

Can I cancel my subscription?

Yes, cancel anytime. And every order is backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee, even if opened.

Do I have to give up coffee completely?

Nope. This isn't a caffeine detox. Most people start by swapping one cup, like the 2 PM coffee, for STILL.

Try it for 30 days.
