Spacegoods made its name with Rainbow Dust, its mushroom coffee blend, but the brand’s range has grown well beyond coffee. Two of its newer powders sit at opposite ends of the day and the colour chart: Matcha Dust, a green matcha blend with functional mushrooms, and Glow Dust, a pink berry drink built around collagen, vitamins and gut-friendly bacteria.
They are easy to confuse on a product page, yet they do very different jobs. This guide puts them side by side, covering ingredients, caffeine, taste, preparation and price, so you can decide which one fits your routine, or whether it makes sense to try both.

What Is in Matcha Dust?
Matcha Dust combines matcha green tea with three fruiting body mushroom extracts: 1,000mg each of Lion’s Mane, Cordyceps sinensis and Chaga per serving. Alongside those you get 300mg of KSM-66 Ashwagandha, 250mg of Maca root and 6mg of vitamin B5, which Spacegoods notes contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. The caffeine comes from the matcha itself, at 60mg per serving.
Spacegoods describes the blend as vegan and cruelty-free with no added sugar, and says its products are made in England, dual extracted and third-party tested. The aim is focus and energy without the jitters some people get from strong coffee. You can read the full Matcha Dust ingredient list on the brand’s site.
Vanilla or Strawberry Matcha?
Matcha Dust comes in two flavours. Vanilla Matcha is the original, which Spacegoods describes as the classic taste of matcha green tea with a sweet and smooth vanilla flavour. Strawberry Matcha is the newer option for people who like a fruitier, strawberry-milk style latte. Both use the same functional blend, so the choice is purely about taste.
If you cannot decide, the sample pack lets you pick either flavour in a one-week or two-week size, which is a low-cost way to find out which you prefer before committing to a full pouch.
How to Make Matcha Dust
The brand’s own method is simple: add one scoop to a cup, mix with hot milk and blend well with a frother. It works with dairy or plant milk, and you can also drink it with water, hot or cold, or stir a serving into your usual coffee, smoothie or protein shake. Spacegoods says you can have up to three 8g servings of Matcha Dust a day, though one is the usual starting point.
What Is in Glow Dust?
Glow Dust takes a completely different approach. Instead of caffeine and mushrooms for focus, it is a beauty-from-within blend. Each serving contains 3,000mg of hydrolysed bovine collagen and 2,800mg of Tremella mushroom, plus the ActiBio and Livaux pre and probiotic duo at 10 billion CFU. It also adds a B vitamin complex, vitamin D3 (10mcg), vitamin K2 (37.5mcg), iron (2.1mg), Aquamin calcium (120mg) and fruit powders including strawberry, raspberry, dragon fruit, goji and acai.
Spacegoods pitches it as a six-in-one drink covering energy, immunity, gut health, skin, hormones and healthy ageing. Two practical points are worth knowing: Glow Dust is caffeine free, and because it contains bovine collagen it is not suitable for vegans. The brand states that the collagen used is Halal certified.
How to Make Glow Dust
Glow Dust is designed as a cold drink. Scoop one tablespoon into a shaker or glass, add 500ml of cold water and shake or whisk well. If you prefer a stronger taste, Spacegoods suggests using 300ml of water instead. The brand recommends taking it daily for at least three months for best results, and says up to three servings a day is the maximum. See Glow Dust on the Spacegoods site.
Which One Should You Choose?
- Choose Matcha Dust if you want a warm or iced latte that can replace a morning coffee, and you are happy with 60mg of caffeine per serving.
- Choose Glow Dust if you want something caffeine free that you can drink in the afternoon, and you are interested in collagen, vitamins and gut-friendly bacteria.
- Choose Matcha Dust if you follow a vegan diet, as Glow Dust contains bovine collagen.
- Consider both if you like the idea of a green drink in the morning and a pink one later in the day. Spacegoods says one serving each of its Rainbow, Glow, Hydro, Matcha and Astro Dust can be enjoyed on the same day.
