Functional Coffee vs. Regular Coffee: Which One to Choose?

Functional Coffee vs. Regular Coffee: Which One to Choose?

Let's get straight to the point. What does functional coffee or mushroom coffee taste like? Well, rest assured, it still tastes like a regular cup of delicious coffee. We use 100% organic and fair-trade certified Arabica coffee beans, ensuring that the coffee retains its authentic flavor without any hint of mushrooms. Here's why functional coffee is the ultimate upgrade to your daily routine:


1. A smooth and enjoyable experience: Some claim that functional coffee is even smoother than your usual brew. How is this possible? Our high quality shade grown beans from Ethiopia, Kenya and Peru are naturally lower in the acids that create an acidic effect in the body. Our high-quality beans join forces with our mushroom extracts to create a synergy that not only caters to those sensitive to regular coffee acidity but also complements the inherent coffee taste seamlessly. Adding premium mushroom extracts, such as lion's mane and reishi, to coffee reduces acidity due to their alkaline nature. This creates a smoother, more enjoyable experience, especially for those sensitive to the acidity common in regular coffee. It's a harmonious blend that not only enhances the flavor but also caters to individuals seeking a gentler option on their taste buds and stomach. It's a delightful flavor combination that simply works, and, bonus, it's a healthier choice for you.

2. Conveniently upgrade your daily habit: Most of us are already avid coffee drinkers, with about 70% of Americans consuming at least one cup each day. Coffee is an ingrained habit that forms part of our daily routine, and there's no need to disrupt that. We understand that starting a completely new habit can be challenging, especially when it involves unfamiliar ingredients like lion's mane mushroom and chaga. By upgrading your existing coffee habit, you effortlessly incorporate these powerful ingredients into your daily life, ensuring you receive their maximum benefits.

3. Superior ingredients for optimal results: We source our coffee beans from cooperatives and small family-farms, guaranteeing that they are 100% organic, sustainably and ethically produced. Not only that, but our functional extracts come from log-grown or wild harvested mushroom fruiting bodies that have been double-extracted, ensuring the highest potency and benefits to you. It's like consuming a premium coffee while taking a high-quality supplement simultaneously.

4. Say goodbye to jitters: When you combine adaptogens, such as functional mushrooms, with coffee, something magical happens. Adaptogens help your body adapt to stressors, including caffeine, ensuring a harmonious balance. Unlike regular coffee, which can leave you feeling jittery and depleted, functional coffee provides sustained energy without any crash or jitters. It's a smoother caffeine ride that keeps you energized and focused.

5. Effective functional benefits in every cup: Each serving of functional coffee delivers effective doses of adaptogens, functional mushrooms, probiotics, and vitamins. Whether you need support with immunity, stress management, brain function, or overall performance, we've got you covered. Instead of relying on a regular cup of coffee to power through the day, our functional coffees allow you to customize your experience based on your specific needs. Busy day ahead? Try our Brainiac Coffee. Need an energy boost for errands? Opt for Perform Coffee. Feeling anxious? Our Beans with Benefits blends will ease your worries. No matter the challenge, our functional coffees help you conquer your day.

6. Enjoy without the negative side effects: Are you someone who loves coffee but often experiences the crash and jitters? We've got you covered. Our functional coffees are perfectly balanced with adaptogens to smooth out the caffeine ride, ensuring you enjoy all the benefits without any unwanted side effects. Even if you want a coffee nightcap, our Adrenal Decaf is the perfect choice to wind down and relax without sacrificing sleep.

So, whether you have a hectic day at the office or a leisurely day off, let your coffee work as hard as you do. Upgrade your daily routine with functional coffee and experience the difference.
