How Much Caffeine in Ganoderma Coffee?
Ganoderma coffee is an unorthodox beverage crafted by mixing ground Arabica or Robusta coffee beans with extracts or powdered fruiting bodies of the Reishi mushroom, such as extracts or powder. The resultant beverage provides the familiar caffeine kick of regular coffee but with an unexpected yet pleasing botanical note – appealing to consumers interested in natural products, functional foods and incorporating botanical elements into daily lives.
Ganoderma coffee may contain caffeine, but its amount and type are significantly less than in other popular blends, making it suitable for those sensitive to its stimulating effects. Furthermore, reishi mushroom polysaccharides and amino acids help moderate its absorption and release into your system.
Reishi mushrooms provide an abundance of minerals such as potassium and calcium, in addition to providing immune system support and being an excellent antioxidant.
Reishi mushrooms used in this product have been carefully chosen and grown according to stringent standards, before being integrated into premium instant coffee for easy mixing and consumption.
No matter the ratio or blend used, different flavors can be achieved. Reishi mushrooms contribute an earthiness similar to damp wood or forest floor that adds complexity to coffee’s taste; sometimes this effect is enhanced further through adding spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg or cocoa; while certain reishi coffees even boast umami richness for an additional savory and nutty element in some varieties.
Reishi coffee’s unique profile stems in part from its preparation and enjoyment process. Instead of brewing coffee like traditional cups of Joe, reishi mushroom coffee typically uses cold extraction processes that yield low acidity levels with subtle flavors derived from the Ganoderma compounds that go into its formulation.
Reishi coffee preparation offers an artisanal flavor experience that is best enjoyed with milk or cream, sweeteners and other ingredients to complement its earthiness. For some, making and enjoying reishi coffee may become a ritual to promote mindfulness and focus attention during an otherwise hectic day.
