A cup of resilience—rich, earthy and coffee-like—with adaptogenic mushrooms, roasted roots and hints of cacao

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, reishi mushroom and astragalus root are considered adaptogenic herbs—a class of botanicals believed to help the body adapt to mental and physical stress. Mushroom Hero is our take on that tradition: a daily tonic with a depth of flavor coffee lovers can appreciate.

We source an organic variety of reishi mushroom from its herbal homeland in China, pairing it with chaga mushroom and astragalus to amplify the adaptogenic benefit of each cup. To balance out the earthiness of the medicinal mushrooms, we add cocoa nibs alongside roasted chicory and dandelion roots for a rich, satisfying bite. Finally, we layer in licorice root for natural sweetness, rounding out and energizing this powerful blend.

Drink this revitalizing tea at breakfast for a grounding start to your day—or take a shot before a meeting for a mental edge.

Reviews Summary
Customers say: this mushroom tea serves as an excellent coffee substitute with earthy, chocolatey notes and a rich, smooth flavor. Many users appreciate its caffeine-free nature, making it perfect for afternoon or evening consumption. The tea has a distinctive umami taste that some describe as bold and meaty, while others find it reminiscent of coffee or hot chocolate. Several customers mention adding milk or cream enhances the experience, creating a satisfying latte-like drink. Common feedback includes its versatility - enjoyable hot or iced - and its robust flavor that can handle multiple steepings. While most praise the unique blend, some find the mushroom taste too strong initially, requiring an adjustment period. A few customers note concerns about availability and prefer the discontinued sachet format over loose leaf options.

    Effortlessly smooth, creamy and full-bodied

    Pairs very nicely with milk or oatmilk. It is my #1 choice for caffeine free tea. I have at least one cup mid-day, every day. I love the loose leaf option because I can adjust how rich I want the tea..

    My new HERO

    Love this tea. I often blend it with the Puehr tea I also enjoy from Rishi. It's a perfect low caffeine treat!

    Thank you, Rishi, for making this blend. The herbs you include make it a spectacular tea.

    Quality is good but taste is not my thing

    I thought I would love this because I like mushroom coffee from other brands. This one tastes like it is loaded with artificial sweetener. I think it could be from the licorice root. I tried to give it away so it wouldn’t go to waste, but I couldn’t find anyone that likes the flavor.
