Nick grew up around his parents' tea shop in Washington D.C., then spent time living in Japan, where green tea became part of everyday life. Asia, meanwhile, spent years in tech, the kind of work where you're constantly trying to help teams think clearer, move faster, and not burn out doing it.

Then we moved to the Swiss Alps with our son, and ran straight into the thing every parent knows too well: there's never enough energy to go around. Between the mountains, the work, and the kid, we were running on empty, and coffee wasn't cutting it. We didn't want the spikes or the cortisol crashes that come with it.

Eventually we just turned back to what we already knew. We dug into the research, and it confirmed what tea traditions have known for centuries. Matcha green tea just works.

There's real science behind it: sustained energy, calmer focus, a metabolism boost, immune support, better stress resilience. So we built Lucent around that, real green tea plus the nutrients that matter, B and C vitamins. No sugar, nothing artificial, energy that actually works with your body instead of against it.

We built this for us first. We happen to think you'll love it too.
