Urban Calm makes four mushroom coffees because coffee drinkers do not all want the same roast.
Instead of building one generic mushroom blend and changing the label, each coffee has its own roast profile and two-mushroom pairing. A practical way to compare them is to look at both what you want your coffee ritual to support and the kind of coffee you already enjoy.
The four blends at a glance
| Blend | Roast | Mushrooms | Choose it if... |
|---|---|---|---|
| Onward | Light | Chaga + Cordyceps | You prefer a lighter, brighter coffee style |
| Centered | Medium | Chaga + Reishi | You want a balanced everyday medium roast |
| Dreamer | Dark | Lion's Mane + Reishi | You like deeper dark-roast character |
| Lioness | Espresso | Lion's Mane + Cordyceps | You prefer espresso or a bold coffee base |
Onward Light Roast: Chaga + Cordyceps
Onward is the lightest roast in the lineup. It is for people who want the coffee's origin character to stay more noticeable and who naturally gravitate toward lighter roasting.
It pairs Chaga and Cordyceps fruiting body extracts with specialty Colombian Arabica.
Start with Onward if: light roast is already your normal order, you drink coffee black or lightly dressed, or Chaga + Cordyceps is the pairing you want to explore.
Centered Medium Roast: Chaga + Reishi
Centered is the middle ground. Its medium roast is familiar, balanced and easy to use across drip, pour-over and French press.
Centered pairs Chaga and Reishi. If you are new to mushroom coffee and normally buy medium roast, this is the most natural place to begin.
Start with Centered if: you want a versatile medium roast, you are unsure where to begin, or Chaga + Reishi is the pairing that interests you.
Dreamer Dark Roast: Lion's Mane + Reishi
Dreamer is built for dark-roast drinkers. It has a deeper, more roast-forward cup and works well black, with milk or in a maple latte.
Dreamer pairs Lion's Mane with Reishi.
Start with Dreamer if: you already buy dark coffee, want a richer cup or are looking specifically for the Lion's Mane + Reishi pairing.
Lioness Espresso: Lion's Mane + Cordyceps
Lioness is the boldest roast direction in the collection. It is designed around espresso-style coffee and stands up especially well to milk.
It pairs Lion's Mane and Cordyceps.
Start with Lioness if: you are an espresso drinker, make milk-based coffee drinks or want the Lion's Mane + Cordyceps pairing.
What all four blends have in common
The differences are intentional, but the foundation is shared:
- specialty-grade 100% Arabica coffee from TimanĂ¡, Huila, Colombia
- women-led sourcing connected to ASPROTIMANA
- roasted in Calgary
- organic 100% fruiting body mushroom extracts
- no mycelium-based mushroom ingredients
- third-party tested mushroom extracts
- a coffee-first flavour philosophy
Whole bean, ground or K-Cup?
After choosing the blend, choose the format that fits your routine. Whole bean gives you maximum grind control. Ground coffee removes a step while keeping a traditional brewing experience. K-Cups are the fastest single-serve option.
Urban Calm also offers all four mushroom pairings in K-Cup format, so convenience does not require switching to a different blend identity.
Still not sure?
Use the Urban Calm Mushroom Match quiz to narrow the options based on what you want your coffee ritual to support and the kinds of days you are usually building for. We match the pattern across your answers, then you can confirm the roast and choose bag or K-Cup format.
The goal is not to choose the blend with the most impressive-sounding promise. It is to choose the coffee you will genuinely want to make tomorrow morning.
