Best mushroom coffee brands reviewed and why everyone’s drinking it

Think of this product as a healthy alternative to those Starbucks syrup-laden lattes. Naturya Superfood Latte Coffee is a Fair trade blend of coffee infused with coconut milk, reishi mushroom powder, calcium from seaweed and 450 million live bio cultures. Simply mix three tablespoons with hot water for a perfectly sweet, creamy and indulgent tasting cup of goodness. This would also be great added into any smoothie.

Packaged in a sleek, letter box-friendly box, this coffee wins points on the style front. The ingredients are a mix of barista-style coffee, dual-extracted lion’s mane and rhodiola rosea (a medicinal plant traditionally used to reduce anxiety and fatigue). Flavour wise, this one is smooth and well-rounded.

This Finnish-American brand was the first to bring mushroom coffee to the masses. This particular blend features organic instant coffee with lion’s mane and chaga extract. Expect a medium-roast coffee with sweet chocolate and caramel notes. We particularly love that it comes in single portion sachets, so you can enjoy it at home or when you’re out and about.

Ready to go all-in on the functional fungi craze? DIRTEA’s Mushroom Coffee claims to be the “purest and most potent” on the market. It combines 100 per cent arabica coffee with 1,000mg of pure lion’s mane, chaga and cordyceps mushrooms, plus maca for digestion and ashwagandha for stress. The taste profile is full bodied and smoky with nutty undertones. We found it had the earthiest flavour of the bunch, but it does mellow after a few sips.

Made using Colombian instant arabica coffee and 600mg of mushroom extracts (lion’s mane, chaga and cordyceps), this option promises to bring ”calmer energy and better focus”. It has much less caffeine than your regular cup of java, so it would be ideal for anyone looking to cut back without going cold turkey. Plus, it’s worth noting that the company plants a new tree when you make a purchase.

Prefer French press coffee over instant? Balance Coffee is one of the only brands in the UK to supply a ground coffee-mushroom mix. The formula features speciality grade coffee and 100 per cent naturally sourced organic lion’s mane dual extract. Yielding a rich and chocolatey brew (with zero mushroom taste), it’s the obvious choice for the discerning coffee connoisseur.

This pick was created with your immunity in mind. The star ingredient in Cheerful’s Buddha’s unique coffee powder is reishi mushroom, which is said to have antioxidant and immune-boosting properties. It’s also packed with organic MCT coconut oil, ashwagandha and cacao – all things that can help you stay at your peak.
