From Frazzled to Focused: How Urban Calm Coffee’s Mushroom Blends Elevate Your Day

Picture a brew that’s part coffee, part ancient remedy. Mushroom coffee blends premium beans with extracts from medicinal mushrooms like chaga, cordyceps, lion’s mane, reishi, and turkey tail. 

Dr. Mulvihill explains these adaptogenic fungi are dried to concentrate bioactive compounds like beta-glucans and polyphenols, creating a smoother, lower-caffeine drink than regular coffee. It’s all the rich coffee flavor you love with a health-boosting twist—no mushroom taste here.

Urban Calm Coffee keeps it simple. Our Centered mushroom coffee, Dreamer mushroom coffee, Lioness mushroom coffee, and Onward mushroom coffee blends come in whole bean, ground, or compostable K-Cup pods, ready for your drip machine, French press, or espresso maker. Add a touch of milk or honey, and you’re sipping wellness. 

Sourced from women-led farms in Colombia and roasted in Calgary, our organic mushroom coffee blends match the price of standard coffee, making health feel effortless.

Mulvihill notes effects build over weeks, making Dreamer ideal for calm focus and Lioness perfect for a cognitive-energy surge.

Immunity That Stands Strong

Your immune system deserves a hero, and Centered mushroom coffee (reishi & chaga) and Onward mushroom coffee (chaga & cordyceps) deliver. The 2024 Discover Applied Sciences review found turkey tail’s compounds show anti-tumor activity, while Czerwony notes chaga’s polyphenols protect cells from free radical damage. These immune-modulating benefits make Centered and Onward your daily shield.

Energy Without the Crash

Ditch the jitters with Lioness mushroom coffee (lion’s mane & cordyceps) and Onward mushroom coffee (chaga & cordyceps). Mulvihill says cordyceps may boost stamina, especially for active folks. With ~96 mg of caffeine per cup (vs. 120-195 mg in regular coffee), our blends offer a gentler lift, potentially supporting sleep by avoiding melatonin disruption, per Mulvihill.

Inflammation-Fighting Power

All our blends—Centered, Dreamer, Lioness, and Onward—combine coffee’s natural anti-inflammatory compounds with chaga’s antioxidants. Czerwony suggests these may protect against chronic diseases, though coffee-specific benefits need more study. Your daily cup is a step toward long-term health.

Mushroom coffee is generally safe, but there are caveats. Czerwony warns that chaga in Centered and Onward is high in oxalates, which may increase kidney stone risk for some. 

Mushrooms can cause digestive upset or allergies, and reishi may trigger headaches or dizziness. If you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or on medications, consult your doctor, as Mulvihill advises. Urban Calm’s organic, GMP-certified blends minimize risks, but start small and see how you feel.

Proprietary blends often obscure mushroom amounts, per Mulvihill, and studies like Zhang et al. (2021) used specific doses not guaranteed in coffee. Our dual-extracted, organic mushrooms ensure potency, delivering quality at a price that rivals regular coffee. 

While mushroom coffee doesn’t yet outshine plain coffee health-wise, our blends add perks like stress relief and immunity support without the extra cost.

Urban Calm Coffee’s blends match the price of everyday coffee, avoiding the hefty markup of other mushroom coffees. 

Sourced from women-led farms in Colombia and roasted in Calgary, our organic Centered, Dreamer, Lioness, and Onward blends—available in whole bean, ground, or K-Cups—offer bold flavor and science-backed potential. The TODAY.com review, citing a 2024 Discover Applied Sciences review and Zhang et al. (2021), highlights benefits like cortisol reduction (a favorite for older women loving Centered), cognition, immunity, and energy. Czerwony suggests starting small and giving it six weeks to feel the effects.
