Mushroom Coffee

Mushroom coffee, a trending beverage that’s garnering attention from the wellness and coffee worlds alike, combines the energizing effects of traditional coffee with functional mushrooms known for their cognitive-enhancing, antiviral and immune-boosting properties. This unique blend—which is often available in instant form—has a smooth, earthy flavor that’s reminiscent of green tea and provides a balanced energy lift without the typical caffeine jitters.

GB Mushroom Coffee blends can be found in smoothie shops, health food stores and online. Some are made from a combination of medicinal mushrooms and black tea, while others feature more warming ingredients like chai spices, maca, ashwagandha and Siberian ginseng along with coffee. Many of the mushrooms featured in mushroom brews are adaptogens, plants and herbs that help you cope with stress, anxiety and fatigue. They also have a wide range of potential health benefits including supporting the gut microbiota, helping you achieve greater physical performance and even aiding in weight loss and cancer prevention.
