A Yorkshire drinks entrepreneur have added a new product into their award-winning range.
Wetherby based Sweet Revolution who produce a range of free-from hot drinks with a twist, have launched their new mushroom coffee in a bid to steer consumers away from more traditional, caffeine heavy hot drinks.
Founder Jane Nicholls said: “Mushroom coffee is exactly what it says on the tin – coffee with added mushrooms and provides natural energy release to help you power through your day without the ‘crash’ of regular coffee.
“As a nation of coffee lovers there are numerous coffee options on the market, but the trouble is many of these options often contain enormous amounts of caffeine, which means we get a spike of energy followed by a crash. This caffeine provides a sort of artificial alertness often leaving you feeling more tired and disrupting sleep later in the day.”
Sweet Revolution’s ‘Shroom Coffee combines organic Colombian Arabica coffee, the most popular species of coffee in the world along with chaga, reishi and lion’s mane mushroom which are added for their adaptogenic properties.
Adaptogens are herbs and mushrooms that help the body adjust to physical, chemical or biological stress and are thought to stimulate the body’s stress-protection response and help its systems return to a balanced state called ‘homeostasis’.
Jane continues: “Coffee does provide lots of health benefits – it’s been shown to be linked with improved stamina, enhanced cognitive performance, reduced risk of some diseases, as well as boosting energy levels. So, the perfect scenario would be to retain these benefits whilst avoiding the caffeine jitters and disrupted sleep and that’s where our new coffee comes in.
“Mushroom coffee typically provides only half the caffeine you’d find in a regular cup of coffee and works to promote natural energy meaning that you can retain the benefits of coffee without overdoing the caffeine – for a sustainable energy release minus the caffeine crash!
“Not all mushroom coffee is created equal however but ours contain beta-glucan which is a form of soluble fibre that’s strongly linked to improving cholesterol levels and boosting heart health. Our mushroom coffee blend has been created to elevate your coffee routine and is rich and aromatic, giving you the convenience of an instant coffee that you can enjoy anywhere.”
