Throughout my career in the wellness industry, I’ve found it can be difficult to find the best companies in terms of quality and effectiveness. That’s why testing them for you is one of my favorite things to do!
A few months ago, Pique contacted me and offered to send me some product samples. I was excited because they had some new products I hadn’t tried yet! I tested the products for over a month before responding that I’d love to officially partner with them. They agreed to sponsor a review post! This doesn’t influence my review, and if anything, it only encourages me to share my honest experiences—even the ones I don’t like.
This review covers three of their products: Sun Goddess Matcha, Nandaka Adaptogenic Coffee Alternative, and BT Fountain Beauty Electrolytes.
Pique was founded in 2014 by Simon Cheng with the goal of sourcing the finest ingredients from around the world. If you don’t already know the founder’s story, I highly recommend reading it. Cheng struggled with health issues for years and traveled the world in search of healing and nourishing ingredients. That’s how Pique was born.
They use only high-quality ingredients and prioritize cutting-edge, science-backed technology. Scientific highlights include:
Patented cold extraction technology to extract and preserve phytonutrients and ingredients.
Triple Toxin Tested means you’re getting products with the purest and highest-quality ingredients.
Maximum Phytonutrients – As a busy mom and entrepreneur, I want to ensure I’m consuming products that support my well-being while also being rich in nutrients. Nutrient density refers to the nutrients contained per gram of ingredients.
If you’re interested in trying Pique products, you might be like me and not know where to start?! Over the past few months, I’ve had the pleasure of testing several Pique products. They gifted me some of their bestsellers, and I’m sharing my experiences with each one 🙂
I love coffee and always look forward to enjoying it as part of my daily routine—but honestly, coffee doesn’t always reciprocate my feelings, especially during stressful times. It can increase anxiety, disrupt my sleep, and give me a “squirrel brain” feeling. Whenever I noticed these feelings or didn’t respond well to coffee, I immediately stopped drinking it.
That’s when I ventured into the world of coffee alternatives. Nandaka uses ceremonial Peruvian cacao, functional mushrooms, fermented Pu’er black tea, and green tea. This combination of adaptogens and herbal teas offers more than just a delicious cacao drink. Nandaka benefits include:
Ceremonial Peruvian cacao activates metabolism.
Functional mushrooms improve mood and promote cell renewal.
Fermented Pu’er teas provide calm, sustained energy.
Handmade pour-over coffee flavor with notes of dark red fruits.
Formulated with proprietary F-SIS™ and EMA™ technology.
Organic. Vegan. Non-GMO. No added sugar, preservatives, or artificial ingredients.
Every time I use this tea, I enjoy the mental clarity and focus I have throughout the day. It gives me a gentle feeling of energy, without any of the jitters that coffee sometimes brings.
The package insert recommends preparing it with water. I like to mix the fine powder with warm, steamed milk. This gives the Nandaka a rich, smooth, and creamy flavor, more reminiscent of a latte—which is exactly what I love. When mixed with water, it creates a consistency more reminiscent of traditional tea.
If you’re looking to boost your energy levels, focus better throughout the day, or simply minimize your caffeine intake, this is one of my top recommendations!
Did you know that staying hydrated doesn’t just require tons of water? That’s why I’m a big fan of electrolytes – these special substances help transport water to the cells. This allows your body to utilize the fluid instead of simply excreting it through urine.
What sets this electrolyte product apart from all others on the market is its special formulation, which goes far beyond deep hydration. With ceramides and hyaluronic acid, this drink helps keep skin healthy, strong, and youthful. This means fewer fine lines and wrinkles and hydration that will make your skin glow!
Clinically proven ceramides visibly improve skin elasticity and reduce fine lines.
Natural ceramides and hyaluronic acid provide a youthful, fresh glow.
Electrolytes and minerals provide intense hydration.
Ceramides promote hair thickening, hair follicle strength, elasticity, and shine.
These small single-serve packs are ideal for on-the-go use. I like to fill my water bottle with cold water, add a BT Fountain sachet, and shake it up. I’ve tried dozens of different electrolyte brands over the past two years, and I can safely say this yuzu variety is my favorite.
Coffee (or a great coffee alternative like Nandaka) is always my first choice when I’m looking for a little pick-me-up, but an iced matcha is almost as delicious. Matcha also has amazing health benefits, including being an excellent source of polyphenols and antioxidants. These can help neutralize free radicals, support a healthy immune system, and promote youthful skin.
Health Benefits of Pique Matcha:
EGCG firms and brightens skin.
Catechins help suppress food cravings.
Chlorophyll supports skin clarity.
Caffeine supports fat metabolism.
L-Theanine promotes calm and balance.
100% organic, ceremonial-grade matcha and quadruple-tested for toxins (this ensures no heavy metals, toxic mold, or other contaminants—only high-quality, ceremonial-grade matcha).
Similar to Nandaka, I like to mix this with warm milk for a delicious matcha latte, but it’s also delicious with hot water. It’s pure matcha—meaning it has that rich, earthy flavor with a slight bitterness. I personally love the taste of matcha. If you prefer something a little sweeter, you can easily add some maple syrup or honey for a naturally sweetened matcha latte.
PRO TIP: If you enjoy both matcha and the electrolyte blend, you’ll get both skin-healthy benefits in Pique’s Radiant Skin Duo.
When a brand offers me a partnership, I thoroughly vet it. This means their products, brand, delivery method, and results are covered. During my use, I especially loved and appreciated the following (followed by the things I didn’t like):
Individual packs – at first, I wouldn’t have thought twice about whether I would really appreciate this. But a small pack of high-quality tea is much more convenient than the loose-leaf tea packs you get from other popular tea brands. I could throw the pack in my backpack, diaper bag, pocket, car… anywhere I have a bit of space, and I can treat myself to a good cup of tea, cacao, or matcha. ✨
We’re setting a new standard for higher quality – this goes beyond using organic ingredients: We source our products from the very best regions in the world. Cacao from Peru and matcha from Japan! They don’t just care about quality, they care about getting the best of the best. 👏
Scientifically Backed – Did you know that some brands contain beneficial ingredients but not at the recommended dosage? This means you won’t get the benefits of that ingredient if it’s below the recommended dosage. Pique emphasizes optimal effectiveness through proper dosage. (Keep this in mind as we move on to the next section.)
Great Taste – Honestly… taste isn’t a deal breaker for me. I’ll eat or drink things that don’t taste particularly good to reap the health benefits. (I eat liver, for heaven’s sake 
) Every Pique makes this really easy because every product I’ve tried tastes so good. My absolute favorite is the Yuzu Electrolyte Blend.
I pride myself on being honest and transparent with this blog. Therefore, it’s only fair to share my criticism of Pique products… And the truth is: These products are expensive.
What justifies them for me is the high quality standards – you know that Pique products have been carefully selected, triple-tested for purity, and not made with random ingredients, but in the right dosage for optimal effectiveness.
That’s why I also recommend using supplements consciously. In this day and age, with all the social media and advertising around every corner, it seems like there are always products that will make you healthier and happier. But not every supplement, health product, food, or beverage is suitable for everyone. That’s why I always recommend paying attention to your own bio-individuality, laying a solid foundation in health practices and nutrition, and then filling in the gaps with targeted, high-quality supplements.
When you look at the cost breakdown, it’s still cheaper than a local coffee shop. I can get a matcha latte locally for around $6. At home, I can make the same drink (with far better ingredients) using Pique Matcha for less than $2 per serving! It’s all about prioritizing and making conscious sourcing choices. My family and I have decided to prioritize quality over convenience and buy products that support that.
I’ve been really looking forward to Pique products over the past few months. And I love knowing I’m fueling my body with high-quality, nutrient-dense ingredients. This strengthens my immune system, ensures healthier skin, and a more sustainable energy level. Plus, it’s a delicious drink that makes me feel good and helps me get through the day
