Blue Cloud Matcha Denver: Blue Spirulina Matcha Latte with Lion’s Mane at Vivid Minds Cafe

The Blue Cloud Matcha is the most visually distinctive drink at Vivid Minds Cafe and possibly on South Broadway. Ceremonial grade matcha, raw honey, coconut cream, blue spirulina, and Lion’s Mane mushroom in a 16oz cup. The blue spirulina turns the drink a vivid electric blue-green that photographs beautifully and tastes like nothing artificial because it is nothing artificial. Blue spirulina is phycocyanin extracted from spirulina algae. It has no flavor of consequence. What it has is antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and the color that makes people reach for their phone before they reach for the straw.

The functional story in the Blue Cloud Matcha is the combination of L-theanine from the ceremonial matcha and nerve growth factor support from the Lion’s Mane. Two cognitive performance ingredients in one drink, working through different mechanisms but toward the same outcome: the mental state that allows focused, sustained, high-quality attention without anxiety. At $9 it is the most expensive drink on the matcha menu and it earns that position by delivering more than any other drink in its category.
