Vivo Life Magic Coffee with Lion's Mane - 280g

To support mental clarity

Our Magic coffee is the cousin of the Magic latte range. We wanted to create a blend that had all the energising effects of coffee with a nootropic, brain boosting addition of lion's mane medicinal mushroom.

Coffee is one of the most popular beverages consumed worldwide (second to water and teas) and it is either loved or vilified. Much of the negative associations of coffee come from poor farming and processing methods (often the case with lots of food substances), and over-use (especially of poor-quality coffee). The plant itself in fact contains a cocktail of nutraceutical compounds with many healthful benefits.

Magic Mushroom Coffee combines the energising properties of coffee with the brain boosting benefits of Lion’s Mane Mushroom to support mental and physical sharpness. Expect longer lasting energy and greater mental clarity when using Magic Mushroom Coffee. It is also tested for mycotoxins to guarantee the cleanest and healthiest coffee. Our Coffee is meticulously selected for it's single origin, Arabica beans, and is Fair Trade certified. The beans are roasted and ground into small batches in Bristol, UK, before being blended with 4,000mg of lion's mane mushroom (from 500mg of 8:1 extract).

What makes our mushroom extract different?

Not all mushrooms extract are equal. Almost all of the magical health benefits of mushrooms are found in the 'fruiting body' that grow above ground - A.K.A the mushroom that we eat!

But sadly, almost all of the major mushroom suppliers use the cheap mycelium extract that is taken from the roots of the mushroom that grow underground before the fruit is fully developed. Unsurprisingly, these mycelium extracts contain a fraction of the health benefits of the real mushroom. Our functional adaptogenic mushrooms are a cut above: crafted by nutritionists and packed and third-party tested ingredients at functional dosages backed by science, with no artificial flavours or fillers, so your body can sing.

Can I use a drip filter (percolator) or a stove top/moka pot to brew Magic Coffee?

Yes, you can use both of these methods to brew coffee. We recommend the French press to give maximum benefits from the coffee and mushrooms.

Does Magic Coffee taste like mushrooms?

Don't worry! Magic Mushroom Coffee doesn't taste like mushrooms. It has a rich, smooth flavour that is just as delicious as your favourite coffee.

How to best use our Magic Coffee.

The pairing of Lion's Mane mushroom with is nootropic benefits, with our Arabica coffee and its mental and physical stimulating effects makes for a perfect morning beverage to prepare you for a day of physical and/or mental focus. It is recommended that water should always be drunk close to having a caffeinated drink, so to minimise stress on the adrenals and to keep the body hydrated. One large glass of water per caffeinated drink is a good guideline. Making sure the body is well hydrated with clean water upon waking, before having any caffeinated drinks is also highly recommended.

Our Magic coffee can also make a great alternative to a pre-workout supplement. Having a mushroom coffee in the hour before you train could lead to an energised and focused state. It is particularly important in this instance to drink a lot of water as well, as water loss is more prevalent when exercising. Our coffee is a course grind which is best suited to brewing in a French press. It is recommended to not have coffee with a meal, and to space 30 minutes to an hour between a cup of coffee and your meals.
