Laird Superfood, established by big wave surfer Laird Hamilton, offers plant-based products designed to promote holistic wellbeing. Their offerings include mushroom coffee, creamers and prebiotic daily greens.

Mushroom coffee is a form of ground or instant coffee formulated with adaptogenic mushroom extracts such as lion’s mane, chaga and reishi to promote cognitive health and immune functioning.

Ingredients

Laird Superfood is a functional coffee and creamer brand made with minimally processed ingredients, using its Perform Whole Bean and Decaf mushroom coffees as part of personalized wellness rituals. Combining coffee with functional mushrooms such as chaga (for stress defense), lion’s mane (to support cognition), maitake (for immune function support) and cordyceps (promoter of energy) allows consumers to develop personalized wellness rituals tailored for them. In addition, six additional organic Mushroom Powders such as Calm & Relaxation Focus Memory Reishi Turkey Tail Oyster are available. These can all be found at Bluestone Lane locations nationwide.

Caffeine

Although mushroom coffee drinks tout various health benefits, such as stress relief and increased energy, no conclusive research exists to back these claims up. Yet many who consume such beverages report some noticeable side effects like improved focus, enhanced immunity/digestive support and decreased fatigue levels.

Of the 11 mushroom coffees I tasted, most were on par with traditional coffee when it comes to caffeine content. Of these 11 I sampled, two were free from caffeine entirely: Rasa Adaptogenic Mushroom Coffee and Live Conscious Beyond Brew were herbal tea-like; Joe’y, Atlas+ and Everyday Dose contained approximately 50 milligrams per serving respectively while Four Sigmatic Focus, Shroomi and Laird Superfood Perform had roughly equal levels.

Recently, this brand introduced two coffee products with high performance benefits – Perform Whole Bean Coffee and Perform Decaf Coffee, produced from USDA organic shade-grown and handpicked coffee beans that have been blended with chaga, lion’s mane fungus, maitake mushroom and cordyceps to enhance both mental performance and physical endurance. Furthermore, its Swiss Water Process uses premium chemical-free methods that preserves roast flavor while eliminating 99.9% of caffeine from decaffeination processes.

Preparation

Laird Superfood’s products are pioneering the integration of functional mushrooms with coffee, using bold coffee flavors with adaptogenic varieties of lion’s mane, cordyceps and chaga as adaptogenics for mental clarity, energy boost and immune support. Laird Hamilton and Gabrielle Reece’s commitment to using clean plant-based ingredients that challenge today’s food industry practices makes their mushroom coffees truly revolutionary!

Dark and Medium Roast Ground Coffee with Functional Mushrooms by Laird are ground to an ultrafine consistency for pour-overs, drip coffee and espresso makers, packaged using an inert gas system to seal in freshness and flavor. For optimal results, use either a French Press or Aeropress in combination with one of Laird’s mushroom creamers for optimal results.

Laird’s new product, Boost Coffee, is designed to naturally support the body. Crafted using medium roast coffee beans from Laird Hamilton’s company and blended with extracts of three of his favorite organic functional mushrooms such as Cordyceps, Chaga and Lion’s Mane – which have long been enjoyed by endurance athletes as they may help with cognition, immunity and energy support – as well as slow and gentle brewing processes that preserve each bean’s dynamic flavor profiles, this drink may prove truly revitalizing for users!

Storage

Mushroom coffee blends have an extended shelf life; to best preserve their flavor and potency, store them securely sealed in their original containers. Avoid direct light as well as refrigerator environments as these could expose them to harmful moisture levels or cause them to absorb aromas from nearby food products. Store in a cool dark location with stable temperatures.

Ryze and Four Sigmatic mushroom coffee products have been specially created with the goal of improving mental and physical wellbeing, featuring ingredients such as Lion’s Mane, Chaga and Maitake, which have all been linked with positive health impacts. Individual sachets of these products can be mixed with hot water to create lattes containing these potency beverages containing Lion’s Mane, Chaga and Maitake which have proven their efficacy for wellness purposes.

Mushroom coffees can also be purchased online, making it easier for consumers to locate and compare various options. Furthermore, this form of shopping gives more convenience and payment methods as well as additional information on various mushroom coffee products.
