14 Mushroom Coffee
14 Mushroom Blend from Green Wisdom with Stumptown Hairbender Roast
For years, I’ve been a religious coffee drinker. Morning, afternoon, sometimes even evening. Since looking more into health and wellness, I’ve come to see the controversial aspects of having this much caffeine. I started by adding this mushroom blend and reducing the ratio of coffee beans in my roast. Now, I am almost ready to ditch coffee entirely.
I still strongly believe that everything you love can be enjoyed in moderation and at this point, I’m not fully ready to give up a cup of coffee to start my day. In the past, I definitely turned to coffee in the past as a source of energy that could help me push through when I truly was running on empty.
However, in adding this adaptogenic mushroom blend to my coffee, I have noticed a significant change in the mood that I experience with caffeine. Instead of experiencing anxiety or jitters if I go overboard, I feel that I have a more calm and focused energy that lasts throughout the day. I’ve also noticed a reduction in my acid reflux, which has been extremely beneficial for me, as a person who deals with a number of digestive issues.
The powder has a nutty flavor that isn't overpowering so it can be added to other beverages, smoothies, or yogurt for the same benefit. When consumed daily, this blend is rich in antioxidants that can improve overall immune function and strengthen your body’s adaptation to stress.
I purchase this blend from my favorite herbal medicine shop in Long Beach, Green Wisdom (website linked below). It contains 14 functional adaptogenic mushrooms including reishi, cordyceps, chug, mesima, lion’s mane, turkey tail, mai take, shiitake, blazei, poria, agarikon, suchirotake, oyster mushroom, & true tinder polypore. I highly recommend searching for a local herb shop in your area to find a similar product that is guaranteed organic, available at a low price, and without additives.
