What is Mushroom Coffee?
As the name suggests, this is a blend of regular coffee or coffee alternatives with functional mushrooms, such as lion’s mane, cordyceps, reishi, and turkey tail.
These aren’t your average mushrooms. They’re finely ground extracts with plenty of research supporting their role in enhancing energy, focus, digestion, and overall well-being.
The end result is a drink that looks and tastes just like the coffee you’ve come to know and love without any of the downsides related to jitters, caffeine dependency, or the dreaded crash.
You still get a slight energy lift from the caffeine, but the mushrooms do the heavy lifting for the most part. Customers say they feel a smoother, more balanced sense of focus and physical vigor. We also have non-caffeinated varieties for those trying to completely cut stimulants out.
Why Drink Mushroom Coffee?
Most people drink coffee out of habit. It’s warm, it’s familiar, and it’s what they’ve always reached for to feel awake and alert. But millions of customers have replaced their daily ritual with RYZE, and it’s not hard to see why.
Let’s be honest, regular coffee just doesn’t get the job done for most people. It gives you a short-lived boost that quickly fades into a crash, leaving you worse off than you originally were. Before you know it, you’re drinking coffee just to feel normal rather than to get a lift.
Others find that the high caffeine content in coffee leaves them feeling jittery, wired, bloated, or dependent on sugar to make it palatable. That’s why more and more people are turning to Mushroom Coffee. Each mushroom in our Super6™ mushroom blend plays a role:
-
Lion’s Mane: Support focus, mental clarity, and cognitive performance
-
Cordyceps: May improve physical stamina and sustain energy throughout the day
-
Reishi: Calming properties, with potential to support the body’s stress response
-
Turkey Tail: Has natural compounds that could support a healthy gut microbiome
-
Shiitake: Offers nutrients that may contribute to immune function and digestive health
-
King Trumpet: Provides antioxidant support and may aid in overall cellular wellness
You don’t feel these in the way you feel a caffeine spike, but that’s the whole point. The effect is steady, subtle, and supportive, not overstimulating. So if your current cup leaves you longing for more, learn how to drink Mushroom Coffee below!
How to Drink Mushroom Coffee: Tips and Recipes to Help You Enjoy it to the Fullest
We’ve made it easy to incorporate RYZE into your daily ritual, whether you start your morning with a cup or use it to push through midday lulls. It’s ready to drink, just add it to water!
But we’re passionate about helping our customers make the most of every serving, so here are some quick tips on how to drink RYZE Mushroom Coffee in terms of timing, consistency, and we’ll even highlight a few of our favorite recipes for when you’re craving something special.
How to Brew Mushroom Coffee
Understanding how to drink Mushroom Coffee starts with simple brewing best practices. Brewing RYZE Mushroom Coffee is quick and low-maintenance - all you need is hot water, a mug, and a spoon/handheld frother. No need for filters, machines, or wait time. Just scoop, stir, and sip.
We recommend you begin with a single scoop of Mushroom Coffee, mixed into 6-8 ounces of hot water (just off boiling is ideal). Stir it thoroughly. A handheld frother helps break up any clumps and creates a smooth, café-like finish.
There may be a bit of fine-tuning to find the perfect strength. You can adjust the water volume based on your personal preferences: Less water gives a bolder flavor, while more water makes it milder.
You could even throw in a splash of unsweetened oat or almond milk after mixing for something a bit creamier. But it'll have a bit of body as is.
When to Drink Mushroom Coffee
The truth is, there’s never a bad time to enjoy a cup of RYZE - especially since we have non-caffeinated varieties you can enjoy in the evening without worrying about caffeine keeping you up.
Most people drink Mushroom Coffee in the morning, either in place of their usual cup or as a way to ease into the day with more balance. It’s gentler on your system early in the morning since there’s less caffeine. You won’t get that sharp crash by 11am if you drink it at 8am.
But RYZE also makes for a great mid-morning or early afternoon drink, especially if you’re trying to stay productive without grabbing another full cup of coffee. We drink RYZE during work hours, creative sessions, or pre-workout routines.
Just keep in mind our flagship formula does contain caffeine, albeit a much lower amount than traditional caffeine. This is to say you should not drink RYZE mushroom coffee after 3-4pm, since caffeine has a long half-life and could affect your sleep quality. Instead, try our Decaf Chicory as it has zero caffeine.
How Often to Drink Mushroom Coffee
There’s no single rule for how often to drink Mushroom Coffee. Most people start with one cup a day, typically in the morning, and go from there based on how they feel. What matters most is you’re being consistent in getting at least one serving a day.
Drinking it daily helps your body and mind adjust to the routine and makes it easier to notice more subtle benefits (smoother energy, better digestion, or more consistent focus). Functional mushrooms tend to work best when taken consistently over time, rather than sporadically.
Many of our customers start their day with RYZE and follow up with a second cup in the afternoon, especially if they’re used to having multiple cups of real coffee every day. This helps offset the adjustment period that comes with cutting out higher doses of caffeine.
Some people use Mushroom Coffee as their only coffee. Others rotate it in to replace just one cup per day. No matter what your ritual looks like, just be consistent!
