Elevate Your Morning: Discover the Power of Urban Calm Coffee’s Mushroom Blends
What if your coffee could do more than just kickstart your day? What if it could sharpen your focus, boost your immunity, and help you stay calm under pressure?
Mushroom coffee is the wellness trend turning heads, and Urban Calm Coffee is leading the charge with our expertly crafted blends:
Centered Medium Roast(reishi & chaga), Dreamer Dark Roast (reishi & lion’s mane), Lioness Espresso (lion’s mane & cordyceps), and Onward Light Roast (chaga & cordyceps).
In a detailed Forbes Health review, registered dietitians Samantha Peterson and Lindsay Malone unpack the science behind this nutty, earthy brew, highlighting its potential to enhance your health.
Backed by emerging research, here’s why our mushroom coffee blends are your new must-have for a balanced, vibrant life.
The Lowdown on Mushroom Coffee
What’s in the Mix?
Mushroom coffee isn’t about tossing creminis into your brew. It’s a powdered blend of premium coffee and medicinal mushroom extracts like reishi, chaga, lion’s mane, and cordyceps.
Peterson explains that these adaptogenic fungi, used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine, are dried, ground, and blended with coffee or spices to create a drink that’s both familiar and therapeutic. With less caffeine than your average joe, it delivers a gentle lift without the crash.
At Urban Calm Coffee, we make it easy to enjoy mushroom coffee. Our Centered, Dreamer, Lioness, and Onward blends—available in whole bean, ground, or compostable K-Cup pods—brew effortlessly in your coffee maker, French press, or espresso machine.
Add a dash of milk or sweetener, and you’ve got a smooth, coffee-like sip with a wellness edge. Malone notes the flavor is “earthy, smooth, and slightly nutty,” and our blends nail that balance.
How It’s Made
The magic starts with medicinal mushrooms, dried and ground to concentrate their bioactive compounds like polysaccharides. These are blended with organic coffee from women-led farms in Colombia, roasted locally in Calgary for freshness.
Our dual-extraction process (water and alcohol) ensures maximum potency, delivering the health benefits Peterson and Malone highlight in every cup.
Health Perks: What Science Says
immune system supercharge
Peterson and Malone, citing studies like Cerletti et al. (2021) and Docherty et al. (2023), emphasize that while research on mushroom coffee is still evolving, the benefits of medicinal mushrooms are promising.
Here’s how Urban Calm Coffee’s mushroom coffee blends tap into the science:
Immune System Supercharge
• Mushroom Coffee Blends: Centered (reishi & chaga), Onward (chaga & cordyceps)
• Science: Cerletti et al. (2021) found that reishi, chaga, and cordyceps contain polysaccharides that boost cytokine production, key signaling proteins that coordinate immune responses. This may help your body fight infections and harmful substances.
• Why It Matters: Start your day with Centered Mushroom Coffee or Onward Mushroom Coffee to give your immune system a natural edge, perfect for staying resilient year-round.
brain boost & focus
Brain Boost & Focus
• Mushroom Coffee Blends: Dreamer Mushroom Coffee (reishi & lion’s mane), Lioness Mushroom Coffee (lion’s mane & cordyceps)
• Science: Docherty et al. (2023) suggest lion’s mane may promote nerve growth factor (NGF), supporting neuron growth and potentially enhancing focus and memory. While results are mixed, the potential is exciting.
• Why It Matters: Brew Dreamer for calm, clear-headed focus or Lioness for a bold, brain-powered lift to tackle work or creative projects.
stress less, thrive more
Stress Less, Thrive More
• Mushroom Coffee Blends: Centered Mushroom Coffee (reishi & chaga), Dreamer Mushroom Coffee (reishi & lion’s mane)
• Science: A 2024 study cited by Peterson and Malone found reishi may reduce anxiety and depression in cancer patients, thanks to its adaptogenic properties that help the body manage stress.
• Why It Matters: Sip Centered Mushroom Coffee or Dreamer Mushroom Coffee for a soothing, stress-busting start to your day, keeping you grounded no matter what life throws at you.
Why Urban Calm Coffee Stands Out
Quality You Can Trust
Not all mushroom coffees are created equal. Our blends use dual-extracted, organic mushrooms from trusted sources, blended with coffee from women-led farms and roasted in Calgary for peak freshness.
Available in whole bean, ground, or K-Cups, Centered, Dreamer, Lioness, and Onward deliver potency and flavor.
A Blend for Every Goal
• Centered: Reishi & chaga for immune support and calm.
• Dreamer: Reishi & lion’s mane for focus and stress relief.
• Lioness: Lion’s mane & cordyceps for cognition and energy.
• Onward: Chaga & cordyceps for immunity and vitality.

Backed by Science, Not Hype
Peterson and Malone, citing Cerletti et al. (2021) and Docherty et al. (2023), stress that more research is needed to confirm mushroom coffee’s benefits. But with promising studies on immune support, cognition, and stress management, Urban Calm Coffee’s blends offer a practical way to tap into these perks.
Make Your Mornings Magical
Mushroom coffee is more than a trend—it’s a wellness ritual. Urban Calm Coffee’s Centered, Dreamer, Lioness, and Onward blends bring the science-backed potential of reishi, chaga, lion’s mane, and cordyceps to your cup, with less caffeine and bold, nutty flavor.
