Common Questions

What is mushroom coffee, and is it the same as regular coffee?
Mushroom coffee is a drink that blends functional mushroom powders into either real coffee or a roasted coffee-style base, and our Joe'y Mushroom Coffee Alternative with Cacao is the second kind: an instant coffee alternative. The mushrooms most often used are Lion's Mane, Cordyceps, Chaga and Reishi, and the drink's character depends mostly on its base. Some brands start from ordinary instant or ground coffee, so they taste and caffeinate like a normal cup. Others build the cup around roasted roots or grains. Our base is roasted chicory root, dandelion root and cacao, combined with a blend of 12 mushroom and plant ingredients that includes Lion's Mane, Cordyceps, Reishi and Ashwagandha.

What tastes like coffee but isn't coffee?
Roasted chicory root and roasted dandelion root are the classic answers, and our Joe'y Mushroom Coffee Alternative with Cacao is built on both, with cacao added. When chicory root is roasted it brews dark, slightly bitter and toasty, which is why it has long been used to stretch or replace coffee, most famously in New Orleans-style coffee. Roasted dandelion root has a similar earthy, roasty taste. With cacao added, our cup tastes rich, roasted and chocolatey, with a subtle note of cinnamon. You can drink it black or add milk and sweetener the way you would with coffee.

How much caffeine does Joe'y mushroom coffee have?
Each serving of our Joe'y Mushroom Coffee Alternative with Cacao has 55 mg of caffeine, which is about one-quarter of a regular cup of coffee. It suits people who want to cut back on caffeine and still have some in their morning cup. It also works as an afternoon drink for people who find a full cup of coffee too strong at that hour. A serving is one tablespoon, and each 4.7 oz bag holds 20 servings.

Is Joe'y mushroom coffee instant, and how do I make it hot or iced?
Yes, our Joe'y Mushroom Coffee Alternative with Cacao is instant, so you don't need a brewer or a filter. For a hot cup, stir one tablespoon into 8 oz of hot water. You can add milk, sweetener or a pinch of cinnamon. For an iced drink, dissolve the powder in a little hot water first, then pour it over ice and add milk or sweetener if you like.

Can I use Joe'y mushroom coffee in smoothies or baking?
Yes, our Joe'y Mushroom Coffee Alternative with Cacao can go into smoothies, overnight oats or baked goods, as well as into your mug. Its roasted, chocolatey flavour suits recipes where you would normally use cocoa or a shot of coffee. For cold recipes like smoothies or overnight oats, dissolve it in a splash of hot water first. Keep in mind that each tablespoon adds 55 mg of caffeine to whatever you make.

Which mushrooms are in Joe'y Mushroom Coffee Alternative with Cacao, and where is it made?
Our Joe'y Mushroom Coffee Alternative with Cacao includes Lion's Mane, Cordyceps and Reishi, along with the adaptogenic herb Ashwagandha. These are part of a blend of 12 mushroom and plant ingredients that sits on a base of roasted chicory root, dandelion root and cacao. We make it in Salt Lake City, Utah.
