hello world!
What does Mushroom Coffee taste like?
For starters, it doesn’t taste like mushrooms at all!
Since it has a coffee base, it has a delicate coffee flavour. The mushroom extracts add a slight maltyness and a smooth texture.
It has a very pleasant flavour profile that you’re sure to enjoy.
We source our organic & fair trade coffee from a roaster on the Kapiti Coast. The blend is sweet, lively and full-bodied with notes of ripe strawberry and milk chocolate. In our opinion this on one of the best coffees in the NZ.
This is a ground coffee, with a grind that is easy to make.
Each cup has only half the caffeine as a regular cup of coffee.
Can you backup your claims?
Yes. We have made sure that all our Mushroom Coffee partners supply the best quality ingredients, and that these ingredients have been 3rd party tested and authenticity certified. Copies of certificates are available on our website.
We do not make any medical claims or over-hype how mushrooms can change your life. However, we do know that there is a huge body of scientific evidence to support these types of claims.
How long will it take before I feel the effect?
Everyone will experience the effects of Mushroom Coffee differently, and the effects will vary depending on the mushroom varieties.
Unlike caffeine, which hits you all at once, the effects of mushrooms build up over a few weeks. However, you should start feeling the effects within 5 to 7 days of starting.
For instance, with Lion’s Mane, you may notice an extra spring in your step after a few days and wake feeling more alert.
Also, note that since the concentration of caffeine is low, you may not feel the effects of caffeine at all. It is unlikely to give you jitters, anxiety, or other negative effects.
How much is safe? can I over do it?
Mushroom extracts are generally considered safe, but there’s limited research on the effects of excessive consumption.
We recommend starting with one cup a day for a few weeks and gradually increasing the amount if you want to enhance the effects.
Additionally, please read the pages about the individual extracts used in each blend. These pages include a section on their use and safety.
We use ground coffee because its richer flavours complement the mushrooms well. The versatile grind allows you to use your preferred brewing methods.
Since the mushrooms are an extract rather than a powder, they will completely dissolve in the water, so will not get filtered out.
