Lion's Mane
Traditionally taken for focus
A pale, shaggy mushroom that has been part of East Asian cooking and tea for centuries. It is one of the six mushrooms in the extract blend listed on the pack.
King Trumpet
Mild, and a close relative of the oyster mushroom
Thick stemmed and gentle in flavour, King Trumpet rounds out the blend without adding any taste of its own. Like the others it is part of the six mushroom extract blend listed on the pack.
Shiitake
The one you already know from the kitchen
Shiitake has one of the longest records of everyday use of any mushroom. In the blend it brings a quiet savoury depth that sits behind the roast or the matcha rather than on top of it.
Reishi
The evening end of the mushroom family
Bitter on its own, so it is balanced within the blend rather than dominant. It sits behind the roast instead of competing with it.
Cordyceps
A long-standing part of endurance traditions
Part of endurance traditions for centuries. It carries a faintly savoury note that disappears entirely once there is milk in the cup.
Turkey Tail
One of the most researched of the six
Named for the banding on its caps. It is the quietest ingredient in the blend by taste, and one of the most researched, with the studies summarised on our research page.

From the people drinking it
Love the Benefits. Love the Taste.
I love the benefits, but the biggest surprise is that it doesn’t even taste like mushrooms! I actually look forward to having it.
James Broadford
Finally, Matcha I Actually Enjoy!
Bought it for the benefits and ended up loving the flavour just as much. Such an easy addition to my daily routine.
Jessica Coates
Doesn’t Even Taste Like Mushrooms!
I put off trying it because I thought it would taste like mushrooms. It really doesn’t! Love getting the benefits in something that actually tastes good.
Emily S
My 3pm Slump Is Gone
I used to reach for a second coffee every afternoon and still feel flat. Swapped my morning cup for Mello and the afternoon dip just stopped showing up.
Sarah M
Smooth, No Jitters
Regular coffee makes me edgy. This gives me the focus without the racing heart, and it actually tastes like a proper coffee, not a health drink.
Daniel K
Easiest Part of My Morning
One scoop, hot water, done. No machine, no mess. I take the matcha to work and it mixes fine with cold milk too.

Shop the blendQuestions, answered
How is this different from regular coffee?
It is regular coffee, with six functional mushrooms extracted into it. You get a roast that tastes like coffee and a caffeine level below a standard double shot, so the lift arrives without the sharp edge.
How do I make it?
One scoop into a mug, 200ml of hot water just off the boil, stir. It dissolves fully, so there is nothing to filter. Milk, oat or otherwise, goes in after.
How much caffeine is in a cup?
About 48mg per serve, about half a standard double shot. About the same in both blends.
What does it taste like?
Like a medium dark roast with a little more body. The mushrooms read as earthiness rather than as mushroom, and the coconut milk in the coffee blend softens it without any sugar.
Where do you ship?

Orders are dispatched within one to two business days and standard delivery usually takes two to six depending on where you are.

What we mean by a proper roast
The coffee came first. The mushrooms were built around a medium dark arabica, not the other way round, and that order matters for the cup.

Six mushrooms, one scoop
Lion's Mane, Cordyceps, Reishi, Shiitake, Turkey Tail and King Trumpet. A plain look at each one and why it earns its place in the scoop.
