Ingredients explained
Hydrolysed Collagen Peptides
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body and a key structural component of connective tissue. It is found throughout the body, including the skin, bones, tendons, ligaments, cartilage and blood vessels, helping provide structure and strength.
Our True Collagen is made from hydrolysed Type I collagen peptides, sourced from grass-fed cattle in the EU. Hydrolysing the collagen breaks it down into smaller peptides that are easy to dissolve, making it simple to incorporate into your everyday ritual.
Lion's Mane
Lion’s Mane is an ancient functional mushroom with a long history of use in Traditional Chinese Medicine, where it has been valued as a source of nourishment and traditionally associated with Qi, or vital energy. Today, this distinctive mushroom is the subject of growing scientific interest, particularly for its potential relationship with cognitive function.
Our organic Lion’s Mane is made from 100% fruiting body and finely milled into a smooth powder, with no preservatives or unnecessary additives. Grown indoors in carefully controlled conditions, this allows us to maintain consistency from cultivation through to the finished blend.
Matcha
Matcha is derived from the same plant used to produce green tea and is harvested in a way that leaves it enriched in powerful antioxidants and health-promoting nutrients, particularly Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG).
It provides a clean caffeine boost without the jitters, thanks to its L-theanine content, which has been shown to promote relaxation and mental clarity. This synergy between caffeine and L-theanine fosters both calmness and alertness. Additionally, matcha may promote and protect collagen synthesis, benefiting skin health.
MCT (Medium Chain Triglycerides)
Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) are a type of fat that are digested and absorbed more rapidly than many other dietary fats, making them a readily available source of energy for the body.
Our True MCT Oil is made from 100% sustainably sourced coconuts, never palm oil. It is produced using steam distillation and gentle hydrolysis to create a balanced blend of C8 (60%) and C10 (40%) MCTs.
Cinnamon
Aromatic and naturally sweet, cinnamon has been treasured for centuries as both a culinary spice and traditional botanical. Its distinctive character brings depth to the earthy notes of matcha, creating a more rounded and warming flavour.
Our organic cinnamon adds this layer of warmth to the blend, complementing the matcha without the need for added sugar.

Collagen and matcha offer complementary ways to nourish your skin from within. Collagen provides the amino acids that contribute to the structure of skin, while matcha is naturally rich in polyphenols such as EGCG. Together, they help to promote glow and radiance from the inside out.
Carefully sourced
Our Lion’s Mane is sourced from China, where it has been valued for centuries as both a delicacy and nutritional powerhouse. Grown indoors in temperature-controlled greenhouses, our 100% fruiting body mushrooms stay pure and pollution-free, benefiting from China’s expertise in mushroom cultivation and research.
Power without the crash
Matcha naturally contains caffeine and L-theanine, two compounds that have been widely studied in combination for their relationship with attention and cognitive performance. MCTs provide a readily available source of energy, while warming cinnamon complements matcha’s earthy character. Combined, this blend offers a smooth, lasting lift, ideal for focused, balanced energy throughout the day.
Ceremonial grade
We chosen to use ceremonial grade matcha from Uji, Kyoto, Japan, renowned for centuries of expert cultivation. Shade-grown, hand-picked leaves deliver richer EGCG antioxidants, deeper green colour, and mellow umami flavour. Every serving of Matcha + Collagen now offers elevated antioxidant potency, superior taste, and the full benefit of this exceptional, whole-leaf matcha.
Moment for mindfulness
The ritual of matcha has deep roots in Japanese tea culture, where the careful preparation and sharing of tea create a moment to pause, be present and appreciate the here and now. We invite you to bring a little of this tradition into your own day: step away from your screen, set an intention, take your time to whisk your matcha and savour each sip.
Matcha is celebrated not only for its vibrant colour and flavour, but also for its myriad of health benefits. Discover the six benefits of making this nutritional powerhouse part of your daily ritual.
Responsible made, Matcha + Collagen powder contains organic ceremonial grade matcha sourced from Uji, Kyoto, Japan – a region world-renowned for producing some of the highest quality matcha on earth.
WHY CHOOSE CEREMONIAL MATCHA OVER OTHER GRADES?
Considered the highest quality green tea, ceremonial-grade matcha powder is made from young tea leaves that have been handpicked from shady Japanese tea fields. By incorporating the benefits of ceremonial grade matcha into Matcha + Collagen, we are delivering a higher dose of EGCG - matcha’s most powerful antioxidant, as well as a superior flavour.
WHAT TYPE OF COLLAGEN IS IN MATCHA + COLLAGEN?
Featuring our signature True Collagen peptides, every serving of Matcha + Collagen contains 3g of hydrolysed Type I collagen peptides. This means that you can enjoy Matcha + Collagen alongside other Ancient + Brave products that contain collagen, such as True Collagen and Wild Collagen.
WHAT IS LION'S MANE AND WHAT ARE ADAPTOGENS?
Adaptogens are herbs and mushrooms that help your body build resilience against the negative effects of stress and anxiety. The benefits are wide-ranging and best seen when consumed regularly. Lion's Mane is an adaptogenic mushroom which has been shown to improve cognitive function, enhancing focus and mental clarity.
WHAT DOES MATCHA + COLLAGEN TASTE LIKE?
Seeking a non-bitter, earthy matcha powder with a sweet cinnamon aftertaste? You've found it. Enjoy a smooth, rich umami green tea flavour, as high-grade ceremonial matcha works in harmony with Lion’s mane and our neutral-tasting collagen peptides.
IS IT SUITABLE FOR PEOPLE WITH CAFFEINE SENSITIVITY?
The ceremonial-grade matcha powder used in Matcha + Collagen contains a low level of caffeine. To be precise, a 6g serving of Matcha + Collagen contains 22.56mg of caffeine. It is also naturally high in L-Theanine. This balances the effect of this caffeine, making Matcha + Collagen the perfect choice for an energy lift without the jitters.
WHEN IS THE BEST TIME OF DAY TO DRINK MATCHA?
Matcha + Collagen can be enjoyed at any time of day. Prepare a morning Matcha + Collagen smoothie to set yourself up for a day of clarity, or drink a grounding cup of matcha tea in the afternoon to lift energy levels. As even low levels of caffeine can interfere with restful sleep, we do not recommend Matcha + Collagen as an evening rest ritual and encourage you to be mindful of your daily caffeine intake.
CAN I MIX IT INTO SMOOTHIES AND WARM DRINKS?
Yes, Matcha + Collagen can be added to smoothies or warm drinks. To create a matcha tea or matcha latte, mix 1 scoop (6g) with a small amount of hot water (not boiling) into a paste, then pour in milk of your choice. We love adding our favourite unsweetened plant mylk to Matcha + Collagen, but you can also enjoy this matcha with fat, semi or skimmed cow’s milk.
DO YOU NEED TO MAKE IT WITH A MATCHA WHISK?
Matcha + Collagen has been thoughtfully crafted to blend seamlessly into smoothies and warm drinks. To help you create a perfectly smooth matcha, we offer a Ritual Whisk. Beautifully handcrafted, this creates a deliciously frothy Matcha + Collagen and transforms your daily routine into a moment of mindful indulgence.
IS MATCHA + COLLAGEN SUITABLE FOR VEGETARIANS OR VEGANS?
No, our Matcha + Collagen ritual contains our EU-sourced bovine True Collagen; therefore, it is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans. To support your collagen needs on a plant-based diet, try Radiant Collagyn, our vegan alternative to collagen which supports your collagen production using a powerful blend of plant-based nutrients, amino acids and antioxidants.
IS MATCHA + COLLAGEN SAFE TO TAKE DURING PREGNANCY OR BREASTFEEDING?
Always consult your doctor or midwife before making changes to your diet when pregnant or breastfeeding. This caffeine product contains Lion’s Mane, an ingredient that has not been extensively studied in pregnancy. Please consider this when deciding whether this ritual is right for you. We recommend caution until more information is available.

— Poppy H. (5/5)
Delicious but expensive
"Love the taste however It’s hard to review a product after only two weeks. I haven’t noticed any difference in my skin or joints but am hopeful over time I’ll see the results claimed. I do think it’s quite expensive so if results aren’t visible after 2 months I’ll be stopping."
— Sarah W. (4/5)

This my friends is incredibly
"This my friends is incredibly good. Definitely suits me better than coffee. I tend to blend it. Have just bought the whisk though for a gentler, quieter, purer ritual. I would love Ancient & Brave to sell a chawan."
— Pauline O. (5/5)
I’m struggling to drink the
"I’m struggling to drink the matcha because it’s quite earthy. I’ve just ordered oat milk and some syrup just to take the bitter taste away. This is nothing to do with the matcha itself but my personal taste. The matcha will be wonderful once I get the blend right"
— Sam M. (5/5)
Not sure
"I have Long Covid ME/CFS,fibromyalgia and functional tremors. I can’t say I have noticed much difference other than coming out in acne. Tastes good but was hoping for more noticeable benefits"
— Leanne L. (4/5)
Slightly disappointed ☹️
"Overall I am very pleased with the matcha + collagen product. It’s very easy to mix up and also pleasant enough to drink just adding water instead of milk. I am however disappointed that the pack doesn’t match the subscription period I have signed up for - there is only 25 days worth and the subscription is 28 days! Also it would be good to have had a scoop that measured the 6g amount required or at least a line in the 10g scoop in order to get an accurate measure"
