Introduction to Lion's Mane Mushroom Coffee Blend

Brewed from delicious roasted coffee beans, coffee is one of the most popular drinks in the world. But what if you could have coffee and Lion's Mane all rolled into one? Well, let us introduce Lion's Mane coffee! Put simply, ours combines Lion's Mane fruiting body, organic ashwagandha, cacao and organic MCT coconut oil with our luxury Colombian Arabica blend.

What is Lion's Mane?

Lion's Mane Mushrooms, also known as Hericium Erinaceus, is a type of white, shaggy mushroom which has both culinary and traditional uses in Eastern countries, including China, India, and Japan. As the name suggests, the mushroom also resembles a lion’s mane as they grow. Known in China for hundreds of years as hou tou gu, the monkey head mushroom, it is growing in popularity in Western countries too. Fresh, it's a prized ingredient for cooking (see our Lion's Mane mushroom recipes); dried and extracted, it's the headline ingredient in many mushroom coffees and teas.

Can you put Lion's Mane in coffee?

Yes. Lion's Mane is often sold as a powder or capsule, and if you already have a coffee habit, putting the two together means one less thing to remember. You can stir Lion's Mane powder into your own coffee; a ready-made blend simply does the measuring for you.

What are the benefits of Lion's Mane Mushrooms?

Lion's Mane is a functional mushroom traditionally associated with focus and mental clarity, which is why many people like having it in the coffee they already drink every morning. Coffee with Lion's Mane is often called a nootropic coffee.

The research on Lion's Mane mushrooms' effect on health is limited, and there is no authorised health claim for Lion's Mane in the UK, so we don't promise a result.

Now that we know what Lion's Mane is, we can properly introduce our coffee blend. 3,750mg of our key, organic ingredient, Lion's Mane fruiting body, goes into every 150g tube, approx. 250mg of Lion's Mane per cup, blended with our luxury, high quality Rainforest Alliance Certified Colombian arabica coffee beans. Other ingredients, per tube, include:

• 1,500mg organic ashwagandha
• 1,500mg cacao
• 1,350mg organic MCT coconut oil

It's a smooth, chocolatey medium roast with no mushroom flavour, and there are around 18 cups in a tube. It's vegan, like our whole range, and comes in a plastic-free, fully recyclable cardboard tube.

What other coffee blends are available?

Our mushroom coffee range also includes our Lion's Mane Coffee Decaf, with the same Lion's Mane, ashwagandha, cacao and MCT coconut oil, made with decaffeinated coffee for a cup later in the day.

FAQ

Does Lion's Mane have caffeine?

No. Lion's Mane itself has no caffeine: our organic Mint & Chamomile and organic Lemon & Ginger teas have 500mg of Lion's Mane fruiting body in every bag and are naturally caffeine-free. Coffee with Lion's Mane in it has the coffee's own caffeine, and we're confirming the exact caffeine per cup in ours. For less caffeine, choose the decaf.
