Mushroom Blend Questions
How does Bea enjoy her mushroom blend?
I add my mushroom blend to my daily cup of coffee along with a scoop of collagen powder, a small spoonful of monk fruit sweetener, and a splash of sugar-free vanilla creamer.
Over the years, I’ve tried to become more mindful about the way I nourish my body by focusing on more wholesome, intentional foods and daily habits. But my morning coffee was one ritual I simply didn’t want to give up.
Each morning, I spend a little quiet time reading my Bible and sipping my coffee before the day begins. It’s a small moment of peace that means a great deal to me.
So instead of striving for perfection, I chose balance; creating a simple ritual that feels comforting, sustainable, and enjoyable to me. This blend was thoughtfully crafted to fit naturally into everyday life, including the little comforts we hold onto
Why use mushroom extract instead of plain mushroom powder?
After researching different options, I chose one-to-one mushroom extracts because they are more concentrated and intentionally prepared to make the beneficial compounds in the mushrooms more accessible.
Many traditional mushrooms have tough cellular walls made of chitin, which can make them difficult for the body to fully break down in their raw powdered form. Extraction is a traditional process that helps release the naturally occurring compounds found within the mushrooms.
Why is the serving size only 1 teaspoon?
A little goes a long way with concentrated mushroom extracts. This blend was crafted using one-to-one extracts rather than plain mushroom powders, which means you do not need large amounts to enjoy them as part of your daily ritual
How much mushroom am I really getting in my daily serving?
Each serving contains 3 grams (3000mg) of concentrated one-to-one mushroom extracts thoughtfully blended for everyday use. Rather than using equal amounts of every mushroom simply for marketing purposes, I adjusted the ratios of each mushroom based on the balance I personally wanted in this blend.
Approximate amount per serving:
• Lion’s Mane — 900mg
• Cordyceps — 750mg
• Reishi — 600mg
• Chaga — 450mg
• Turkey Tail — 300mg
Total mushroom extract per serving: 3000mg
For comparison, many popular mushroom coffee blends contain approximately 1000–2500mg total blend per serving, often including coffee, sweeteners, creamers, flavorings, and other added ingredients within that total amount.
I chose to create a simple blend made entirely of functional mushroom extracts so you receive a more meaningful amount of mushrooms in every scoop while still enjoying the drinks you already love.
What does each mushroom in the blend offer?
Lion’s Mane
Focus and clarity.
Cordyceps
Energy and vitality.
Reishi
Balance and relaxation.
Chaga
Naturally occurring antioxidants.
Turkey Tail
Overall wellness and balance.
Together, these mushrooms create a simple, well-rounded blend designed for everyday use.
Will this change the taste of my coffee?
Slightly. Mushroom extracts do have a naturally earthy flavor. Personally, I really enjoy the taste when I add the blend to my usual cup of coffee prepared the way I already like it, with my favorite creamer and sweetener. My goal was never to replace the comfort of my morning coffee, but simply to add something beneficial to a ritual I already love.
Does this contain caffeine?
No. This blend does not contain coffee or added caffeine. It was created to be added to the drinks you already enjoy, whether that’s coffee, tea, cocoa, or smoothies.
What is a one-to-one extract?
A one-to-one extract means the mushrooms have been carefully extracted and concentrated while maintaining a balanced ratio to the original mushroom material. I chose one-to-one extracts because they offer a balance between quality, simplicity, and everyday use.
Can I use this more than once a day?
Many people choose to enjoy functional mushrooms more than once throughout the day. However, everyone’s body is different, so I always recommend listening to your body and using the blend in a way that feels best for you. I, personally, only use one serving per day.
Is this vegan friendly?
Yes. This blend contains only mushroom extracts and does not contain dairy or animal-derived ingredients.
Why is there a silica packet inside?
The silica packet helps protect the blend from excess moisture and clumping. Because this product contains natural mushroom extracts without unnecessary fillers or anti-caking agents, the packet helps keep the powder fresh and easy to scoop.
Why is there sediment in the bottom of my cup, and how can I prevent it?
Because this blend contains natural mushroom extracts without fillers or dissolving agents, some settling at the bottom of your cup is completely normal. This is common in many, if not all, mushroom blends. I’ve personally found that stirring well, using a frother, or adding the blend to very hot liquids helps improve mixing. Even with mixing, a small amount of natural sediment may still remain. A gentle swirl of your cup toward the end usually helps mix everything back in nicely.
Why choose this blend over more popular mushroom coffee blends?
Unlike many mushroom coffee blends, this product contains no added coffee, sweeteners, creamers, or fillers. Just functional mushroom extracts crafted to fit naturally into the drinks you already love.
I created this blend for people, like me, who want a simple addition to their daily ritual without giving up their favorite cup of coffee.
You source your mushrooms. How do you know they are good quality?
Before choosing the mushrooms for this blend, I spent a great deal of time researching suppliers, sourcing practices, and extraction methods. I chose one-to-one mushroom extracts from carefully selected sources that prioritize quality, transparency, and thoughtful sourcing practices.
I also chose extracts rather than inexpensive filler-heavy powders because creating a product I felt confident using myself was always more important to me than simply creating the largest or cheapest blend possible.
After extensive research, I genuinely feel the quality of the mushrooms used in this blend is equal to, and in many cases exceeds, the quality found in many similar products on the market today.
Why is your product more affordable than many similar blends?
I’ve always wanted Bea’s Tea Shoppe to offer thoughtful, high-quality products at prices that feel approachable for everyday life. While I care deeply about sourcing the best ingredients and products I can find, I also believe wellness and simple comforts should feel accessible and not out of reach for the average person.
Rather than spending heavily on elaborate packaging and large advertising campaigns, I choose to focus more on the quality of the product itself while keeping the packaging simple and intentional.
One of the ways I’m able to keep products like this blend more affordable is by offering a variety of other carefully chosen items throughout my shop. Every purchase made through Bea’s Tea Shoppe helps support my small business and allows me to continue offering products at more approachable prices.
Do you get your mushroom extracts from Amazon to make this mushroom blend?
No. Never! I source my mushroom extracts through the same trusted companies I use for all of the herbs and ingredients in my tea blends. I have spent a great deal of time researching both companies I use, their sourcing practices, and the quality of their products.
I feel confident in the ingredients I use and am happy to use them myself and share them with my own family.
