Ep.52 Marissa Co-Founder of Perfect Ted; Why Matcha is Better Than Coffee

This week I am so excited to be joined by Marisa Poster Co-Founder of Perfect Ted the Matcha based energy drink which is aimed to introduce consumers to Matcha in a more approachable way! I have spoken to a few people now about coffee and how although it tastes delicious and most of us can't start our mornings without it, we also know that too much can give you the shakes, the jitters or even how one cup of coffee can suddenly bring on a wave of anxiousness. Matcha is made from Green Tea, so it is a caffeinated drink but it has sustained energy which doesn't give you these jitters, anxious feelings or crashes.

Perfect Ted not only is a Matcha powder brand but they have also channelled the power of Matcha into an energy drink, so when you need that pick me up in the day you can go for something refreshing but also healthy and effective.

Marisa and Co-Founder Teddy and Levi have been on the recent season of Dragon's Den where they received 5 offers from the Dragon's taking deals from both Steven Bartlett and Peter Jones, therefore this is just the start of a really exciting journey for them.

I wanted to talk to Marisa about her struggles with ADHD and Anxiety and the role that coffee played in this. I also wanted to talk about Matcha and how they are going to tackle the challenge of introducing it to the UK and lastly I was super interested to hear in the behind the scenes of Dragon's Den.

Marisa and I discuss the following topics:

• Anxiety and ADHD
• Her relationship with Coffee
• The power of Matcha and the health benefits
• How Matcha is better than Coffee
• Why a sparkling Energy drink rather than a Matcha Latte in a can
• The journey to Dragon's Den
• What we don't see behind the scenes
• What's next for Perfect Ted
