Why Mushroom Coffee’s Got Everyone Hyped
Mushroom coffee is like your morning brew got a PhD in wellness. It mixes ground coffee with dried, nutrient-packed mushrooms like reishi, lion’s mane, chaga, and cordyceps, creating a smooth, lower-caffeine sip that’s all coffee flavor, no fungi aftertaste. Amidor explains it’s available as ground, instant, or pods, making it a breeze to brew your way—drip, French press, or espresso machine.
Why the buzz? The pandemic spiked stress, anxiety, and insomnia (think 20% insomnia rates in China, per Morin et al., 2021), and mushrooms are adaptogenic superstars, touted for calming nerves and boosting health.
Urban Calm Coffee’s blends, crafted with organic mushrooms from women-led farms in Colombia and roasted in Calgary, make it easy to join the trend. Brew Centered, Dreamer, Lioness, or Onward in whole bean, ground, or K-Cup pods, add a splash of milk or honey, and sip your way to a better day.
The Science-Packed Perks
Amidor, citing studies like Fulgoni & Agarwal (2021), highlights mushrooms’ nutrient density—think vitamin D, zinc, and selenium—paired with coffee’s antioxidant power. While mushroom coffee research is still brewing, here’s how Urban Calm’s blends shine:
• Stress-Busting Bliss with Centered:
Older women love asking about cortisol, and Centered (reishi & chaga) delivers. Reishi’s beta-glucans may calm stress and support immunity, per Natural Medicines. Less caffeine means less jitters, helping you chill like a pro.
• Brain Power with Dreamer & Lioness:
Lion’s mane in Dreamer and Lioness is a cognitive champ, though Saitsu et al. (2019) found mixed results for brain benefits. Still, it’s a fan favorite for focus, paired with reishi (Dreamer) or cordyceps (Lioness) for an energy kick.
• Immune Love with Centered & Onward: Chaga in Centered and Onward packs antioxidants like betulinic acid, while cordyceps adds stamina support (Natural Medicines). Your immune system gets a high-five with every sip.
• Coffee’s Classic Wins:
Coffee itself fights Parkinson’s, dementia, and type 2 diabetes risks (Hong et al., 2020; Williamson, 2020). Urban Calm’s blends amplify this with mushrooms’ potential, all in a tasty package.
Keep It Real: What to Watch
Amidor keeps it honest—mushroom coffee’s no magic bullet. Benefits like stress relief or memory boosts lack solid coffee-specific data. Chaga in Centered and Onward may pose risks for kidney stone-prone folks due to oxalates, and lion’s mane (Dreamer, Lioness) could interact with diabetes meds or slow blood clotting.
Urban Calm’s GMP-certified, organic blends minimize risks, but check with your doctor if you’re on medications, pregnant, or have health concerns.
For max nutrients, Amidor suggests choosing ground mushrooms over extracts—Urban Calm’s dual-extracted blends strike a balance for potency.
You can also eat mushrooms separately, but our blends make wellness convenient and delicious.

Amidor’s review, citing Morin et al. (2021) and Fulgoni & Agarwal (2021), highlights mushrooms’ promise for stress, immunity, and more—especially Centered’s cortisol-lowering reishi for older women. Start small, sip for a few weeks, and tell your doctor, as Amidor advises.
