Frequently Asked Questions

  • Many are, a few arenʼt. All of our mushroom latte blends are dairy-free. We use raw honey in our Honey Rose Matcha and Golden Milk blends.

  • Yes, but only some of our products are Certified Gluten-Free.

    None of our products contain gluten. Our proprietary functional mushroom blend is grown on Certified Organic, Gluten-Free oats.

    We use oat milk powder in our Honey Rose Matcha and Mushroom Spice mushroom lattes. While the oats are naturally gluten-free, these are not Certified Gluten-Free.

  • No – but that doesnʼt mean theyʼre not beneficial. Part of the reason why is that the FDA is slower to endorse specific health claims on any supplement or functional foods.

    However, evidence supporting their benefits in improving human health is incredibly promising. Modern research is already underway studying the use of medicinal mushrooms as a complementary treatment for major diseases like cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and cardiovascular disease.(30)

  • Unless you have an allergy, functional mushrooms are generally deemed safe for healthy individuals to consume at the recommended dose. (Our Mushroom Lattes are dosed for you.) However, itʼs always wise to consult with a healthcare practitioner when switching up your routine.

  • Nope. The functional mushrooms in our blends do not contain psilocybin, the active compound found in psychotropic (mind-altering) mushrooms.

  • Nope! Itʼs real coffee, made using real coffee beans. We roast the beans with hot air to an even, toasty ‘medium;ʼ grind on a universal setting to accommodate all brew methods, and blend with a full daily dose (1.5g) of functional mushrooms for that one-two punch of caffeine and adaptogens.

  • While our beans are not Certified Organic, we only support growers who choose to grow their coffee beans without the use of synthetic pesticides. Many of these farmers cannot afford cost-prohibitive certifications. Rest assured, our coffee is always ethically-sourced, fairly traded, and pesticide-free.
