Mushroom coffee is an emerging trend among health-minded consumers that blends the stimulating effects of caffeine with the healthful benefits of functional mushrooms like lion’s mane, chaga, cordyceps and reishi to produce a tasty beverage that provides energy, stress relief, immunity boosting benefits all at once.

Functional mushrooms have grown increasingly popular among health practitioners and health enthusiasts in recent years; however, research remains limited. Some of the more popular species include Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum), Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor), Chaga (Inonotus obliquus), and Maitake (Mushroom of Immortality). These herbs are frequently used as tonics that reduce stress on the body; many also appear in traditional Asian medicine practices.

Where Can You Purchase Reishi Coffee

For an exceptional reishi mushroom coffee experience, look for brands which blend high-quality freeze-dried organic Columbian coffee with an ample supply of reishi extract to produce an easy on the digestive system cup of coffee. When shopping around, pay attention to labels which indicate what percentage of reishi extract is present and the recommended dosage recommendations when selecting products. It should be noted that reishi extract may interact with blood thinners or reduce blood sugar levels which can be hazardous when taken alongside antidiabetic medication.

Mushroom coffees come in instant or ground form, or specialty pods designed for use with either a regular coffee maker or espresso machine. When selecting a reishi coffee to buy, look for options with instant drink mixes or ground beans that can be mixed with hot water quickly – these will likely offer better acidity levels; low acid levels provide the optimal conditions for those sensitive to caffeine.
