Reishi mushrooms are non-edible hard fungi with powerful adaptogenic properties that promote relaxation and sleepiness, among other effects. Reishi is also well-known for its antitumor and immunomodulatory actions – when combined with other mushrooms such as chaga or lion’s mane they can strengthen the immune system and alleviate side effects associated with cancer therapy such as fatigue, weakness and nausea.

Functional mushrooms offer a delicious and satisfying alternative to caffeine without its energy spikes and valleys*. Cordyceps, Chaga, Turkey Tail and Reishi mushrooms are among the most commonly mixed into coffee as functional mushrooms can provide a smooth and steady source of nourishment; combined with Ashwagandha to increase antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits*.

Mushroom extract powders feature earthy, subtle flavors that combine perfectly with coffee’s earthy essence. Reishi coffee is traditionally made using arabica beans which boast more balanced aromatic qualities and less acidity than robusta varieties; mushroom coffee may also be prepared using decaffeinated coffee for those unable to tolerate caffeine*.

Reishi coffee products typically include mushroom extracts as well as adaptogenic herbs like ashwagandha to help with stress management and immune function*, while others contain other adaptogenic herbs like ginseng to strengthen mental and physical performance, grape seed extract to slow signs of aging*, moringa to improve digestion and boost cellular energy*, etc.

When purchasing reishi coffee, it’s essential to pay close attention to its quality of ingredients. Look for products with listed percentage of reishi extract on their label and consider selecting companies who use compostable packaging rather than plastic packets that could harm the environment.
