Mushroom coffee has recently become one of the newest wellness trends thanks to Tim Ferris and other trailblazers, but its history can be found back thousands of years. Mushrooms are used extensively in traditional Asian medicine; adding them to your coffee can help boost energy without creating caffeine peaks and valleys.

Functional mushrooms provide essential nutrition, including B vitamins, fiber and polysaccharides. Furthermore, functional mushrooms contain antioxidants believed to reduce inflammation and enhance immune function. Reishi mushrooms in particular have long been used as adaptogens in traditional Asian medicine for stress management, improved sleep and strengthening immunity. Furthermore, functional mushrooms may lower blood pressure risk as well as promote overall wellness and longevity – among many other benefits!

Chaga mushrooms, however, are said to help reduce oxidative stress and support your immune system, while providing anti-aging benefits and keeping skin health at a premium.

Four Sigmatic and Ryze offer pre-made mushroom coffee blends, but creating your own is both straightforward and economical. All it requires is some reishi mushroom powder mixed in with ground or instant coffee; stir it or brew as usual before adding extras such as milk or sugar for a delicious homemade mushroom latte experience! Enjoy!
