Coffee with mushrooms is a combination of premium ground coffee beans and mushroom extracts designed to support immunity, improve sleep quality, reduce stress levels and boost overall well-being. Ganoderma lucidum (Reishi), considered sacred by traditional Chinese medicine for its immune-enhancing properties is the primary component in many coffee blends that contain it; other common mushrooms used are Chaga, Lion’s Mane Cordyceps or Turkey Tail mushrooms.

Mushroom-infused coffee contains less caffeine than its regular counterpart, helping reduce jitters and energy spikes that often accompany daily consumption of coffee. However, as it still contains stimulants it may not be suitable for people with certain health conditions or who are sensitive to stimulants.

When selecting a mushroom coffee blend, look for one made from organic low acidity ground medium roast coffee and ingredients carefully chosen to maximize health benefits. Such ingredients could include reishi, chaga, turkey tail and lion’s mane for energy boost, improved cognitive functions, lower stress levels and protecting nervous system function. Also seek products low in sugar, non-GMO pesticide free ingredients and vegan for people allergic to dairy or gluten. Finally make sure it has a pH level between 4.0-5.0 as this is significantly lower than most regular coffee products on the market today.
