Yes. The base is 100% speciality-grade Arabica from Brazil: full, slightly sweet, with notes of cocoa and nuts. The extracts are there in amounts that do not cover the coffee. If you are sensitive to flavours you may pick up a faint earthy note in the background; most people do not. With milk or a plant drink you will not find it at all.

In its form, and everything that follows from it. Instant coffee is a brewed coffee that has been evaporated, and it loses most of its aromatic compounds on the way. This is ground coffee, so the aroma is released when you brew it, in your kitchen.

An espresso machine, a filter machine, a dripper, a French press, a moka pot or an AeroPress. Anywhere you would normally brew ground coffee.

93–96 °C. Boiling water (100 °C) pulls bitterness out of the coffee, so wait a moment after the kettle clicks.

Yes, and many people do. Brazilian Arabica stands up well to milk and does not get lost in it.

Three things: ground Arabica coffee, Lion’s Mane fruiting-body extract DER 10:1 (500 mg a cup) and rhodiola root extract DER 4:1 (130 mg a cup). Nothing else: no sugar, no flavourings, no creamer, no fillers.

That the beans went through a standardised sensory assessment, called cupping, and scored at least 80 out of 100. Aroma, sweetness, acidity, body and the absence of defects are all marked. It is the highest quality grade of coffee.

That 10 kg of raw mushroom makes 1 kg of extract, so the 500 mg in a cup is drawn from 5 g of Lion’s Mane fruiting body.

No — a cup carries 500 mg of extract, and a daily serving of our capsules carries 1,000 mg. This is coffee with an extract milled into it, not a supplement you drink.

100 mg, all of it from the coffee itself. That is the figure printed on the pack.

Yes, for mycotoxins, in an accredited laboratory (GBA Polska). Aflatoxins came back below the limit of measurement and ochratoxin A well under the EU limit for roasted coffee. The report is linked on this page.

In Poland, in small batches.

Yes. Everything in the bag is plant or mushroom.

We built this one for the first half of the day: the morning, or before a block of focused work. If you want something for later, look at the Chaga & Ashwagandha coffee.

Thirty cups of 11 g, which is 330 g. At one cup a day, a pack lasts a month.

We recommend one. Do not exceed one serving a day, and do not have it at the same time as other sources of caffeine.

In its bag, sealed, at room temperature, somewhere dry and away from light. Keep out of reach of young children.

It is not for children or anyone under 18, or during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or for anyone sensitive to any of the ingredients. It contains caffeine. If you take medication, including antidepressants, or have a long-term condition, speak to your doctor or pharmacist first.
