Reishi coffee is a blend of instant coffee powder and ground or dried mushroom extract that can be made in any coffeemaker, French press, moka pot or cezve. Reishi is typically lower in caffeine than pure coffee which may help those sensitive to stimulants avoid dramatic drops in blood sugar levels from antidiabetic medications; its coffee component typically uses high quality organic freeze-dried arabica beans while the mushroom blend may include Lion’s Mane Reishi Chaga Cordyceps as adaptogenic agents that help the body manage stress while increasing energy levels.

Mushrooms contain beneficial compounds called beta-glucans and polysaccharides that provide significant levels of antioxidants to protect cells and boost immunity. Reishi products obtained from fruiting bodies of mushrooms boast four times as many beta-glucans than mycelium grown on grain, so when purchasing Reishi coffee it is important to do your research when looking for where you buy it. You can find this product both online and locally at various health food shops – although purchasing online might be the easier route!
