What is mushroom coffee?
Mushroom coffee is a blend of coffee and medicinal mushroom extracts. We use lion’s mane and cordyceps mushrooms in our Flow and Mojo mushroom coffee blends respectively, along with other adaptogens with synergistic properties.
Medicinal mushroom extracts are adaptogens – they help your body and mind adapt to physical, mental and emotional stressors. Blending them together with a fine microground coffee creates an earthy, delicious cup of coffee with additional health benefits. The microground coffee in our blends contains 6% freshly ground coffee and the rest is spray-dried instant coffee powder and is tested for heavy metals, toxins and mould.
It all sounds very simple, but the processes used to get benefits from medicinal mushrooms aren’t as simple as dropping a few of them into your favourite brew and waiting for the magic to happen. Mushrooms have a different cellular structure to plants, plants are made from cellulose which is easily digested to get the nutritional benefits, whereas mushrooms have a chitin cell wall which our bodies cannot break down so easily.
What does mushroom coffee do?
Mushroom coffee provides a healthier alternative to regular coffee that’s just as delicious, with a slightly earthier flavour. It can help to reduce stress, boost your immune system and medicinal mushrooms are also anti-inflammatory and contain a high amount of antioxidants.
Antioxidants are the elements that we need to neutralise the free radicals in our bodies, protecting us from cell damage. Not only do they boost our overall health, but they’re also part of the fight against heart disease and cancer. Medicinal mushrooms have been used in traditional medicine in Japanese and Chinese cultures for centuries.
