MUD/WTR: Does it live up to the marketing hype?

 Sorry Shane, I'm not the market you're after. A little over a week ago, curiosity got the best of me and I pulled the trigger on a 30 serving container of Rise Cacao MUD/WTR. If you haven't heard of MUD/WTR, founder Shane Heath created the recipe as a coffee alternative.
