Yes! But before adding anything new – such as supplements – consult with your physician first.

Reishi mushrooms (commonly referred to as Lingzhi and scientifically as Ganoderma lucidum) have long been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine as an energy booster, sleep aid, and fatigue reliever. Furthermore, their use is said to promote long-term health benefits by stimulating white blood cells that battle viruses that cause disease.

Reishi coffee is an easy and accessible way to reap the benefits of this adaptogenic mushroom in your daily routine. Usually prepared by mixing ground reishi powder with instant or whole bean coffee, some companies even sell convenient pods that allow you to brew it like regular coffee!

Reishi mushroom coffee tends to have a stronger flavor than regular coffee and some might describe its taste more as similar to that of chai than coffee. Plus, it contains less caffeine – something that may help if you’re trying to cut back on caffeinated beverages!

If you want to make your own reishi coffee recipe at home, the ingredients must be of high-quality. Reishi mushroom powder can be found online and in specialty stores; other components, like vanilla and milk (dairy or non) must also be added so the drink has an authentic coffee flavor. A quality grinder or coffeemaker is also key.
