I Love Coffee, but I Gave It Up for MudWtr. Don’t Make My Mistake.

The Rise blend comes in an attractively minimalist can that feels well made and is satisfying to open and close. The instructions for a basic preparation are written on the can: The recipe calls for mixing 1 tablespoon of Rise with 12 ounces of 180 °F water and stirring to combine. I used a milk frother, since I had one handy.

Up front, the aroma—a blend of chai and hot chocolate—was quite appealing. The mushrooms were nowhere on the nose, except maybe a very faint “earthy” note in the background.

Unfortunately, the first sip is where it all started to fall apart. At the recommended dosage, MudWtr was weaker and more watery than I was expecting. The chai and chocolate from the nose were there on the palate, just disappointingly washed out. MudWtr is an apt name for a drink that tastes like dirty water (probably the mushrooms) with a bit of chai mixed in. It isn’t quite as unpleasant as that sounds, but there’s simply not a lot of flavor.

Adding the company’s creamer and sweetener didn’t really help. I tried making MudWtr’s recipe, as provided on the back of the sweetener bag, for a “Slightly Sweet Mud Latte,” which is the same as the basic Rise preparation but with a tablespoon each of the additives. The result was surprisingly watery, not creamy, and not sweet (not even “slightly”). There was a little more there than with the default Rise recipe, but I had hoped for more flavor and body. Still weak, alas.

Speaking of body, part of what gives well-made coffee its silky, luxurious mouthfeel is the oils that come out of the bean during the roasting process. MudWtr’s Rise has none of that. The result is a beverage that’s thin, with a drying, tannic aspect that increases as you get toward the bottom of the cup. In part, that occurs because the powder doesn’t dissolve into the water very well, so the beverage has a thick layer of sediment that you have to keep stirring up as you drink—if you don’t, you end up with a cake of, well, mud in your cup.
