DIRTEA Matcha Super Blend

Ingredient Quality

Both Lion's Mane and Tremella are sourced from fruiting bodies, scoring the maximum 4 points for source type. The brand discloses a beta-glucan content of 40%, which meets the top scoring threshold, and states that dual extraction is used. Total mushroom extract per serving is 2,500mg, well above the 1,000mg threshold for maximum dose adequacy.

Transparency

The brand publicly states the source type, extraction method, beta-glucan percentage, and country of origin (China), all of which contribute positively to the transparency score. However, the beta-glucan figure is brand-stated only and not publicly verified by a third-party COA. No COA is publicly available, which limits the score_coa to 0 and means the beta-glucan claim cannot be independently checked. The transparency penalty does not apply because fewer than three core fields are missing.

Value

The subscription price of £33.60 for 30 servings gives a price per serving of £1.12. With 2,500mg of extract per serving at a disclosed beta-glucan content of 40%, each serving contains 1,000mg of beta-glucans, giving a cost of £0.112 per 100mg. This falls within the exceptional value tier and produces a value score of 9.44.

Trust

The brand holds a Trustpilot score of 4.6 from 3,320 reviews, meeting the threshold for the maximum 5 points.
