Unlock the Power of Mushroom Coffee: Science-Backed Boost for Your Wellness
At Urban Calm Coffee, we’re passionate about transforming your daily brew into a wellness ritual with our mushroom coffee.
Mushroom coffee – a blend of premium coffee and medicinal mushroom extracts – is redefining mornings, and we’re excited to share why.
In a comprehensive review by Dr. Kristyn Pierfelice, published on Rupa Health, the science behind this trending drink is laid bare, highlighting its potential to sharpen focus, ease stress, and bolster immunity.
Here’s why our mushroom coffee blends, like Centered with reishi and chaga or Dreamer with reishi and lion’s mane, are the perfect addition to your routine.
POWER OF MUSHROOM COFFEE
What is Mushroom Coffee?
Mushroom coffee fuses ground coffee with potent extracts from medicinal mushrooms such as lion’s mane, reishi, chaga, and cordyceps.
Dr. Pierfelice explains that these fungi are harvested, dried, and processed to preserve bioactive compounds like polysaccharides, beta-glucans, and triterpenoids, which drive their health benefits.
The result? A smooth, lower-caffeine coffee rich in antioxidants, offering sustained energy without the crash.
At Urban Calm Coffee, our blends make it easy to enjoy. Brew our Centered Medium Roast (with reishi and chaga) or Dreamer Dark Roast (with reishi and lion’s mane) like regular coffee, or mix a teaspoon of our mushroom powder into your brew for a quick upgrade. Add milk or sweetener to taste, and you’re set. Dr. Pierfelice notes the mushroom coffee market, valued at $2.6 billion in 2022, is projected to hit $4.3 billion by 2032, reflecting its rising popularity.

Sharper Focus and Brain Health
Lion’s mane, featured in our Dreamer Dark Roast mushroom coffee and Mental Focus & Energy Boost mushroom coffee blends, is a cognitive superstar.
Dr. Pierfelice cites a study by Saitsu et al. (2019) showing that lion’s mane (Hericium erinaceus) improved cognitive function in adults with mild impairment after 16 weeks, with effects fading post-consumption.
Nagano et al. (2010) found it reduced anxiety and depression in postmenopausal women. These benefits stem from lion’s mane stimulating nerve growth factor (NGF), enhancing memory, focus, and mental clarity.
Start your day with Dreamer mushroom coffee for a brain-boosting brew that keeps you sharp, whether you’re working or studying.
Stress Relief and Mood Support
Reishi, a key ingredient in both Centered and Dreamer mushroom coffee blends, and cordyceps, found in our Enhanced Energy & Stamina mushroom coffee blend, are adaptogens that help manage stress.
Dr. Pierfelice highlights reishi’s antioxidant properties, which combat oxidative stress and may improve focus by reducing anxiety. Cordyceps, per Lin et al. (2021), supports ATP production for cellular energy, boosting stamina and mood. Traditionally used in Asia for anxiety relief, cordyceps adds a vitality kick.
Sip our mushroom coffee Centered Medium Roast for a calming, balanced vibe or Enhanced Energy & Stamina for a mood-lifting energy boost.
Immune System and Vitality
Chaga (in Centered) and other mushrooms like shiitake act as prebiotics, nurturing gut health where 70% of your immune system resides, as Dr. Pierfelice notes.
Beta-glucans, studied by Vlassopoulou et al. (2021), activate immune responses, potentially aiding respiratory health and allergies. Vetvicka and Vetvickova (2014) found shiitake and maitake enhance immune defenses, with emerging evidence for bone marrow support.
Our Centered blend mushroom coffee with chaga and reishi fortifies your body’s natural defenses, making every cup a step toward wellness.
Dr. Pierfelice details the nutritional edge: reishi offers fiber and minerals like calcium, lion’s mane provides carbohydrates and protein, chaga is antioxidant-rich, and cordyceps supports physical performance.
Bioactive compounds like polysaccharides and triterpenoids, studied for cholesterol, blood pressure, and anti-inflammatory benefits, make these mushrooms powerhouses.
Safety and Quality: Why Urban Calm Mushroom Coffee Stands Out
Dr. Pierfelice stresses the importance of quality sourcing for safety. Mushrooms are generally safe, but she recommends starting small to avoid digestive discomfort and consulting a doctor if on medications like blood thinners due to potential antiplatelet effects.
At Urban Calm Coffee, we prioritize credibility with GMP-certified, sustainably sourced blends free from fillers.
Our Centered, Dreamer, and Mental Focus & Energy Boost mushroom coffee blends are crafted for smooth, delicious flavor, so you don’t need to compromise taste for health.
Compared to matcha or yerba mate, mushroom coffee’s adaptogenic benefits make it a unique choice for holistic wellness.
Why Choose Urban Calm Mushroom Coffee
Dr. Kristyn Pierfelice’s review underscores the need for evidence-based dietary choices, and we’re committed to delivering just that.
Our mushroom coffee blends – Centered for immune support, Dreamer for mental clarity, and Enhanced Energy & Stamina for vitality – harness the science-backed power of reishi, chaga, lion’s mane, and cordyceps. With lower caffeine and no crash, they’re designed for modern lifestyles.
