Mushroom coffee has quickly become one of the hottest trends in health and wellness circles, from grocery store beverages aisles to healthy cafes. Made up of coffee beans combined with functional mushrooms known for their adaptogenic, health-promoting properties – such as lion’s mane, chaga, cordyceps reishi and turkey tail – mushroom coffee offers numerous health benefits including improved mental and physical performance, stress relief, immunity support, increased energy and more.

Reishi-infused coffee is created through combining high quality roasting techniques, low acid content and dual extracted reishi mushroom extract for an exceptionally smooth and balanced cup. Because its caffeine levels are naturally low, this version provides energy without the jitters or crashes often experienced when drinking conventional coffee.

Reishi mushroom coffee produces an intricate and luxurious cup, featuring notes of cardamom and cinnamon, complemented with earthiness and umami for an irresistibly fragrant experience. The mushroom powder dissolves easily in hot water or milk and leaves a subtle sediment at the bottom of each cup – this term may also be referred to as medicinal mushroom coffee, adaptogenic mushroom coffee, functional mushroom coffee and nootropic mushroom coffee although each term highlights different benefits.

Reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum) has long been used in Eastern medicine as an immunomodulator and antioxidant, with its adaptogenic properties helping improve resilience to stress. Furthermore, its soothing qualities may balance out caffeine’s effects while alleviating anxiety.
