Day 2: Creamy and guilt-free

Think Vanilla Creamer & Think Cacao Creamer

Trying to figure out what foods are actually good for you is exhausting. So we try to make it easy. Here's just one example:

We don't use ANYTHING that isn’t real, whole food.

This means no artificial flavors or natural flavors. If your vanilla latte contains "natural flavors" you're not tasting real vanilla bean. Often natural vanilla flavoring comes from castoreum—a beaver butt secretion! Turns out the secretions from a beaver's scent glands can taste like vanilla.

Natural flavors are misleading. Brands don't have to say where these flavors come from or how they were processed.

Day 4: Four Sigmatic coffee

Four Sigmatic Focus Ground Coffee

At Four Sigmatic, we believe great coffee starts at the source, which is why we partner with small family farms committed to sustainable and ethical practices.

In our best-selling coffees, our organic Arabica beans are grown in the Marcala and Copán regions of Honduras—areas known for their quality coffee! We work with a small family farm co-op partnered with over 130 coffee farmers in the region. The program invests back in their communities by driving sustainable practices, as well as providing training to enhance coffee production techniques, crop management, and post-harvest processes.

All Four Sigmatic coffee is  certified USDA Organic. We believe in only the best for your body—and your coffee. Organic farming avoids harmful synthetic chemicals and fertilizers, making it better for you and kinder to the planet.

Additionally, all of our ingredients, both the coffee beans themselves as well as the adding functional ingredients get 3rd party lab tested for molds, mycotoxins, yeasts, pesticides, herbicides, and heavy metals to ensure ultimate quality.

To ensure peak freshness, our coffee beans are expertly roasted and sealed within days. Each bag boasts a shelf life of 2 years, though we recommend enjoying within 2-4 weeks after opening for the best taste.

Day 7: Our Finnish roots

Coffee Canister & Gut Health Ground Coffee

Our story is a Finnish affair stretching back to the 17th century. But it wasn’t until the second World War that this generational journey was set in motion.

Finns love their coffee! They drink six cups a day on average! However, during the war, coffee was scarce and our founders’ grandparents brewed coffee from chaga mushrooms out of pure necessity (turns out, chaga brews into a jet-black, bitter beverage that resembles the look and taste of coffee). As it turns out, necessity truly is the mother of invention. That fungi-fueled home brew was brimming with superfoods, and a formula for what would become the foundation of Four Sigmatic.

Fast forward to 2012, Tero tapped into his Finnish roots and started the #1 mushroom coffee brand in the USA today. 10 years and 100 million cups later, our mushroom-fueled recipes have been finely tuned, but are still infused with that same Nordic charm from Tero’s family farm.

Day 8: Hacks for focus

Focus Coffee Latte & Focus Black Tea

If you haven't noticed yet, lion's mane is a star ingredient in many of our products! But how does lion's mane actually boost focus? There are two key constituents in lion's mane:

1. Hericenones
2. Erinacines

(Note: constituents is just fancy science talk for natural chemical components in plants, herbs, and 'shrooms.)

Hericenones and erinacines are so small that they can cross the blood-brain barrier—which is generally very hard to do for most compounds in your body. Studies suggest that, once in the brain, these compounds activate the hormone Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), which is super important for the health of your brain and its ability to "think."

Lion's mane works best when it’s taken consistently, that’s why it’s in so many of our products, including Four Sigmatic Focus Coffee Latte & Focus Black Tea.

If you're looking for a quick focus hit, try this:

• A cold shower–or even an icey splash to your face. 🥶 This increases blood flow to your brain, wakes up neurotransmitters, and boosts respiration (more oxygen = better thinking) in seconds.
• Waking up with sunlight! Try getting outside within the first 30 minutes of waking up and exposing your eyes to the sunlight to help regulate your circadian rhythm. ☀️

Day 9: Reishi’s royal history

Calm Hot Cacao & Calm Chai Latte

Nighttime routines deserve to be just as intentional as your morning coffee ritual. With today's duo, you can enjoy delicious, caffeine-free sips that help you wind down with reishi, the queen of mushrooms.

Reishi is a powerful functional mushroom that has been used for thousands of years in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is called the “mushroom of immortality” or the "10,000-year mushroom" because it was believed to help you live longer—like 10,000 years longer. It was so coveted that it was reserved only for royalty.

We're not promising immortality...but we're big fans of feeling less stressed and more relaxed! Especially at the end of a long day.

Luckily, today you don't need to be royalty to enjoy these reishi infused evening sips.

• Four Sigmatic Organic Calm Chai Latte has a warming spice blend with cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and clove. You won't just find reishi, but also turkey tail mushroom in this delicious chai, ideal for smooth digestion and immune support.
• Four Sigmatic Organic Calm Cacao is perfect for chocolate lovers! This dark European-style hot chocolate features organic unrefined cacao. True cacao (not the refined, sugary cocoa kind) is a superfood on its own. Cacao can boost phenylethylamine (PEA), known as the "love molecule" for its mood-enhancing effects.

Day 10: Gut-brain connection

Gut Health Tea & Gut Health Golden Latte

Fun fact: your "second brain" is in your gut! Turns out, your tummy is deeply connected to your mood, immunity, and overall well-being. Your brain and gut are linked through the gut-brain axis, a communication system between neurons, chemicals, and proteins. An imbalanced gut microbiome can disrupt this communication, impacting your mental and physical health. Plus, with ~70% of your immune cells in your gut, a healthy microbiome equals a robust immune system. Take care of your second brain, and it’ll take care of you!

Four Sigmatic Gut Health Tea & Gut Health Golden Latte
These belly-friendly drinks are packed with ingredients that keep your gut flora thriving by combining probiotics and prebiotics.

• Prebiotics: Turkey tail contains PSP (aka polysaccharide peptide), a bioactive compound and powerful prebiotic. PSP feeds the beneficial bacteria in your gut (aka probiotics), ensuring they live long enough to support a healthy microbiome.
• Probiotics: both of these gut supporting bevvies contain 1 billion CFUs of Bacillus subtilis probiotics. This heat-resistant strain can survive up to 5 minutes in boiling water, meaning the good bacteria will still be alive (and able to support your microbiome) after every steamy sip.
• Bonus: both of these instant sips also contain ginger, well-known for its ability to help with digestive discomfort.
