This best-selling mushroom brew’s blend of functional mushrooms and coffee beans provides natural focus and energy boost. USDA-certified organic, Fair Trade certified, vegan friendly, gluten free and non GMO.
Mushrooms such as chaga, lion’s mane and cordyceps contain adaptogen properties to help enhance stress response while turkey tail and reishi offer immune system support.
Organic Chaga
Chaga mushroom, revered among Siberian shamans as the ‘Mushroom of Immortality”, is one of nature’s most powerful antioxidants and potent antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal remedies. Studies have also demonstrated its efficacy at supporting healthy blood sugar levels while protecting heart vessels, brain function and immunity; improving immunity; managing cancer risks as well as helping manage cancer risks.
At its heart is a highly concentrated concentration of beta-glucans found nowhere else, making it a potency anticancer supplement. Furthermore, its abundance of protective phytochemicals such as inositol and betulinic acid is thought to contribute to its anticancer activity. Furthermore, this fungus provides numerous other health benefits: rich in vitamin C as well as enzymes which support liver health while detoxifying the body.
Chaga can be enjoyed either as a tea or powder to produce an espresso-like beverage, and many people drink it as a caffeine-free replacement to coffee. When brewed into a dark and jet black decoction it has an almost similar flavor but without the bitter aftertaste associated with traditional coffee beans. Chaga powder also makes an excellent addition to smoothies, juices or other drinks!
Chaga’s high antioxidant levels make it an effective natural solution to free radicals and has also been found to scavenge them. Furthermore, polyphenols found in chaga have been linked to lower cholesterol and improved cardiovascular health as well as helping inhibit tumor growth by slowing cell division rates in cancerous cells. Extracts may even help inhibit tumor growth as they have been found to slow it down significantly.
Chaga contains polysaccharides and other compounds which have been demonstrated to provide digestive comfort. One study demonstrated how alcohol extracts of chaga were effective at protecting stomach wall integrity as well as regulating gut microbiota in mice.
Chaga should only be consumed as part of a multivitamin supplement regimen to maximize its effects, and may be taken in combination with other mushroom supplements and adaptogenic herbs, such as vitamin C-rich foods or herbs such as Eleuthero or Rhodiola for additional support. It’s also important to remember that chaga may interact with blood thinners and insulin medications; prior to taking this herb it’s wise to consult your healthcare provider first.
Organic Lion’s Mane
Lion’s mane (Hericium erinaceus) is an edible and powerful mushroom found throughout nature. Known to enhance focus and cognitive function, this mushroom also stands as one of the safest adaptogens on the market. Lion’s mane’s brain-boosting effects may be attributed to its ability to stimulate nerve growth – potential neuroprotective properties have even shown promise against Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases.
Mushroom coffee is an increasingly popular beverage that features functional mushrooms such as chaga, cordyceps and lion’s mane to both enhance its flavor and improve health. Mushroom coffee tends to contain less caffeine than traditional coffee beverages, making it an attractive alternative for those trying to reduce caffeine intake. Furthermore, mushroom use in mushroom coffee has been linked with improved focus and mood as well as immune system response and sleep quality improvements.
Organic Lion’s Mane Mushroom Coffee from our organic line-up features premium ingredients for maximum mental clarity and focus. Enjoy it each morning to boost productivity throughout your day or as an afternoon pick-me-up when that afternoon slump strikes!
As with other medicinal mushrooms, lion’s mane has proven itself highly effective at aiding memory and cognitive decline. It helps repair nerve damage while providing protection from neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Furthermore, this mushroom also supports digestive health by encouraging beneficial bacteria in your gut to flourish.
Lion’s mane is an effective supplement for people living with diabetes, as it may help regulate blood sugar levels by inhibiting alpha-glucosidase enzyme – responsible for breaking down carbohydrates in the small intestine – as well as reduce symptoms such as inflammation. Furthermore, studies have also demonstrated how it protects pancreatic cells.
Lion’s mane is an ideal way to enhance focus and cognition for anyone looking to increase focus and cognition, as it is packed with antioxidants that combat oxidative stress in the body, promote production of mood-regulating neurotransmitters, soothe digestive tract discomfort, and promote overall wellbeing.
Organic Maca Root
Maca, scientifically known as Lepidium meyenii, is an herb native to South America’s Central Andes mountains that has long been utilized as an aid for hormonal health and sexual libido. For millennia it has been used as a tonic to restore hormonal equilibrium, promote energy levels, boost moods during periods of stress, support energy levels, increase ovulation rates, regularise menstruation cycles, reduce symptoms associated with menopause such as hot flashes as well as aid fertility in both genders.
People have traditionally made maca root powder by grinding or roasting the roots of the plant and then pulverizing them into a fine flour-like consistency, before pulverizing into fine granular form. It can then be used in various forms such as tea and tincture; smoothies often include maca powder as its mild flavor goes well with many ingredients; alternatively it can serve as an ingredient replacement in pancakes or muffins recipes.
KOS Organic Maca Root Powder is gluten- and GMO-free, making it safe for people of various diets and preferences. As it comes in powder form, its usage is very simple – add it to beverages or bake cookies using it! Plus, its packaging keeps it fresh!
At Organica Maca, we only source high quality organic maca from Peru’s Andes Mountains at high altitude plateaus, using no fillers, additives or preservatives and guaranteeing no exposure to pesticides or chemicals – giving it maximum nutritional benefit and making our maca a premium grade offering the full spectrum of vitamins.

Blending Caturra, Bourpon and Catuai varietals for an exquisite silky smooth taste; free from synthetic pesticides or herbicides and any other chemicals used during cultivation process for perfect earthy undertones reflective of its natural origins.
Coffee farming in this region dates back centuries, with farmers banding together in farmer co-ops to pool knowledge and improve quality in pursuit of certification by Fair Trade, Rainforest Alliance or Organic standards. Shade-grown cultivation is also common, protecting soil from sunlight that would otherwise scorch plants while encouraging biodiversity growth.
Adopting shade-grown and sun-dried techniques ensures a higher-quality crop that is richer in nutrient content and antioxidants – helping preserve its rich flavour while simultaneously decreasing environmental impacts associated with coffee farming by eliminating clear cutting for plantations clearance.
Most coffee connoisseurs understand that for an exquisite cup, organic beans must be grown ethically and harvested organically. Furthermore, Peru’s organic coffee beans are air-roasted for maximum flavor without bitterness ruining its exceptional taste.
