Our story
Calmer. Healthier. Happier.
We're Cheerful Buddha, an independent UK brand making drinks for the small daily rituals you enjoy: mushroom coffee and tea, ceremonial grade matcha, matcha latte, hot chocolate and sparkling drinks, all from natural, plant-based ingredients. Taste first, always.
What we stand for
What matters to us
Taste comes first
If a drink doesn't taste good, nobody has it twice. So we develop every recipe ourselves, from scratch, starting with flavour.
Natural, through and through
100% natural ingredients, across the range. Where we add vitamins, they're natural, not synthetic.
Only the fruiting body
Our mushrooms are the fruiting body, the mushroom itself, never mycelium.
Kind to the planet
Vegan Certified across the range. Our coffee, matcha and hot chocolate come in fully recyclable, plastic-free cardboard tubes.
