Coffee to Power On: Focus

Choose Focus Coffee when you want to double down on why you are drinking coffee in the first place. The functional ingredients added into these two products give you so much more than just the standard benefits of a high quality cup of coffee. The additional functional ingredients actually make your coffee more effective for that “why”. Let’s break it down. If you’re sipping your morning brew because you have a big mentally stimulating day ahead, Focus Coffee is for you to help power your brain.

Focus Ground Coffee:

Your brain's best friend. Add a productive oomph to your day without the jitters or mid-day crash. We've paired premium organic coffee with an astoundingly effective supershroom—Lion’s Mane—for focus and steady energy that skips the afternoon slump. 

• Who: Anyone who drinks coffee to turn on their brain. Heading to work, getting your kids ready for school, ready to tackle a long to-do list? This coffee is for those looking for a little extra productivity, creativity, and cognitive support for their morning or mid-afternoon.

• What: Premium organic coffee plus organic lion’s mane extract. Some of our Focus Coffees also add Chaga (an immune-supporting shroom) or Yacon (a prebiotic-packed, gut-supporting root).

• Why: This coffee adds a productive oomph to your day. Lion’s Mane mushroom extract helps support productivity, creativity, and focus- which is what many of you are looking for in your cup of coffee to begin with. 

• When: Morning or early afternoon.

• Caffeine Content: Regular caffeine. Remember that caffeine content can vary based on brew time, the temperature of water used to brew, and brew method. 

• Ingredient Story: Our fair trade coffee beans come from Pacayal Coffee, a family-run farm located 5,500 feet above sea level in southwest Honduras. Our organic Lion’s Mane mushrooms are log-grown, and our Chaga is sustainably wild-harvested from birch trees, just as nature intended. We extract real mushrooms (no mycelium or grains here) to unlock the best of the best benefits.

Boost Ground Coffee: Your daily rocket fuel. Ignite the spark you need to power your most demanding days. We've paired premium organic coffee with three amplifying ingredients—coffee bean extract, L-Theanine, and Cordyceps mushrooms—to fuel your body and mind through your busiest days.

• Who: Anyone who feels there is simply too much to do, that they don’t have the energy to get their sh** done, or who have physical demands that need a little extra boost to finish. 

• What: Organic Coffee, Organic Cordyceps Extract, Organic Green Tea Extract (L-Theanine), Organic Coffee Extract

• Why: This coffee launches you into high gear for your busiest days. It contains an extra amount of caffeine due to the green coffee bean extract. This refers to the beans before they have been roasted. In this raw stage, they retain many important compounds that are lost in the roasting process. Green coffee bean extract’s main compounds are caffeine and chlorogenic acids (CGA). CGAs have antioxidant activity and are often used for their support with metabolism. This coffee also contains the adaptogenic mushroom extract of Cordyceps to help with physical performance and endurance. The Cordyceps and extra caffeine from the green coffee bean extract are balanced out by L-Theanine. This is an amino acid found naturally in Camellia sinensis (green, black, and white tea). It's the compound in tea famous for lessening the stimulating effect of caffeine on the nervous system. L-Theanine helps reduce stress and tension. This trifecta offers you a superpower cup of joe with adaptogenic and energy support from Cordyceps, an extra caffeine boost from green coffee extract, and a smoothed-out edge from L-Theanine. 

• When: Morning or early-afternoon.

• Caffeine Content: High-caffeine. This coffee has more caffeine than a typical cup of coffee from the addition of Coffee Extract. Remember that caffeine content can vary based on brew time, the temperature of water used to brew, and brew method. 

• Ingredient Story: Our fair trade coffee beans come from Pacayal Coffee, a family-run farm located 5,500 feet above sea level in southwest Honduras. Coffee bean extract, amino acid L-Theanine, and Cordyceps are added for balanced power. Our Cordyceps mushrooms are vegan and organically grown to ensure the highest level of quality. We extract real mushrooms (no mycelium or grains here) to unlock the best of the best benefits.

Coffee to Prepare: Gut Health

To us, “prepare” means supporting the foundational systems of your body. This means a daily defense to keep the immune system strong. Did you know that up to 70% of immune cells are located in the gut? Gut health and immune health go hand-in-hand. When one is supported, the other receives the benefits, and vice versa.

Gut Health Ground Coffee: Support your digestive health with coffee that loves you back. We've paired premium organic coffee with four remarkably gut-friendly ingredients—probiotics, prebiotics, Turkey Tail and Chaga mushrooms—for a delicious brew that’s good for (and gentle on) your stomach. Elevate your internal defenses with a deliciously functional brew. 

• Who: Those who have a sensitive belly, are working on their gut health, or need a little extra digestive love. Plus, anyone ready to take their immune system to the next level. Feeling vulnerable, traveling, back to school, exposed to the sniffles, change of season? There’s never a wrong time to add immune-supporting fuel to your system. 

• What: Organic Coffee, Organic Chaga Extract*, Organic Turkey Tail Extract, Organic Yacon Juice Powder, Bacillus subtilis (DE111®) (1 billion CFU). 

   *Wildcrafted

• Why: There are few areas with more active research than gut health. We’re discovering that the health of our microbiome, the ecosystem that resides within all of our bellies (small and large intestines to be exact), affects not just our digestive health but our immune health, mood, and more. This product is a 3-in-1 when it comes to microbiome support. Let’s talk about the functional ingredients in this product that all support gut health from various angles. 

  • First, we have probiotics. The specific strain we use is called Bacillus subtilis DE111. We chose this because it can withstand the heat of boiling water for up to 5 minutes. This means you can brew your coffee in any traditional way and not worry about killing all those 1 billion CFU (colony-forming units) of good bacteria. It also means that this strain can survive past the acidic environment of the stomach and actually make its way into the intestines (microbiome), where they can grow and thrive. 

  • Now let’s talk about prebiotics. These are essentially the food for probiotics. In order for the good bacteria to stay in your stomach and prosper, they need food. They have a pretty specific diet: fiber. The prebiotic fiber in this product comes from the South American root, Yacon, in the form of Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and inulin.

  • Lastly, there are two powerful functional fungi, Turkey Tail and Chaga extracts. Both have been studied for their benefits to gut health. What a trio! Probiotics, prebiotics, and gut-supporting functional mushrooms all in your Organic, Fair-Trade Arabica coffee. Support your immune system with Turkey Tail mushroom extract and wildcrafted Chaga extract. Turkey Tail mushroom fruiting bodies are extracted so the beneficial polysaccharides, beta-d-glucans, are bioavailable to your body. These are immune modulators, which can be thought of like cruise control for your immune system. They are able to increase or suppress immune activity based on your body’s unique needs. And last but certainly not least is Chaga. This incredible fungi conk, when sourced from nature and extracted properly, tops the charts for its antioxidant properties, vital for a healthy functioning immune system. 

• When: Morning or early afternoon.

• Caffeine Content: Regular caffeine. Remember that caffeine content can vary based on brew time, the temperature of water used to brew, and brew method. 

• Ingredient Story: Our fair trade coffee beans come from Pacayal Coffee, a family-run farm located 5,500 feet above sea level in southwest Honduras. The vitamin D we use is derived from real, whole mushrooms. Our Chaga is sustainably wild-harvested from birch trees (no mycelium or grains here), and extracted to unlock the best of the best benefits.

Coffee to Restore: Chill

Are you someone who loves coffee but is prone to the negative side effects that often come along with it? Crash and jitters, anyone? This category of coffee offers delicious coffee that is half-caffeinated or decaffeinated with functional ingredients that help create a more calm and balanced coffee experience.

Decaf Ground Coffee:

The flavor you love, with extra chill. Relax with a cup of coffee anytime of day, with all the flavor and none of the caffeine. We've paired premium organic decaffeinated coffee with two dreamy ingredients—Reishi and Chaga mushrooms—for a chill body and mind.

• Who: Anyone who loves the taste and flavor of coffee, but hates the caffeine, jitters or crash. Someone who loves an afternoon or after-dinner cup of coffee. 

• What: Organic Decaf Coffee, Organic Reishi Extract, Organic Chaga Extract.*  *Wildcrafted

• Why: Enjoy the delicious flavor of coffee without the caffeine and with extracts of the King and Queen of Mushrooms: Chaga and Reishi. The perfect option for anytime of day, a better-for-you option to standard decaf coffee. The functional mushroom extracts offer immune and stress supporting benefits to a classically delicious cup of coffee without the caffeine buzz. 

• When: Morning, afternoon, or evening. 

• Caffeine Content: Decaffeinated. We decaffeinate our coffee beans using the Swiss Water® process, a natural, chemical-free way to gently remove caffeine from coffee beans. Swiss water is a 3rd party decaffeination process that uses only 3 elements to naturally remove the caffeine from the coffee beans: water, temperature, and time. Swiss Water®  is committed to using only the highest quality standards to decaffeinate coffee. They start with our organic, Arabica green coffee beans from Peru and use local, clean British Columbia water plus the variables of time and temperature to gently remove the caffeine before the coffee is roasted. The beans go through a 10-hour process where each of these 3 elements is monitored to ensure the taste and quality of the coffee remains, while 99.9% of the caffeine is removed.   

• Ingredient Story: Our fair-trade coffee beans come from a cooperative of small farms in Peru’s Cajamarca province, 3,900 to 5,900 feet above sea level. We use Swiss Water® Process, an organic, chemical-free process, to gently remove caffeine. Our organic Reishi mushrooms are log-grown, and our Chaga is sustainably wild-harvested from birch trees, just as nature intended. We extract real mushrooms (no mycelium or grains here) to unlock the best of the best benefits.
