Four SigmaticOriginal Mushroom Coffee | Instant Mushroom Coffee | Lion's Mane, Chaga, Turkey Tail, Cordyceps and Reishi | Energy, Focus & Immune Support | 30 Servings

I've been drinking Mushroom Coffee for over 8 years now, and have tried almost everything out there, majority being terrible products jumping on the bandwagon. There have been only a couple brands that have become my favorite, Four Sigmatic being one and Lucid Mushroom Coffee being the other. There are 4 main things I look for when shopping for mushroom coffee.1) Taste2) Dosage3) Quality4) ValueI saw this new Four Sigmatic mushroom coffee and chose to give it a try. As someone who is quite passionate about both my health and functional mushrooms, here are my thoughts…1) TASTE:Taste of the arabica coffee is decent. It’s very mild, but better than most others.2) DOSAGE:This part is extremely important, because if you’re going to incorporate functional mushrooms into your routine, you need to know how much of each mushroom you are putting in your body. From what I’ve learned, you want at least 500mg of one strain to see any benefits. Four Sigmatic only uses 2 mushrooms, Lion’s Mane and Chaga. They claim 1500mg of “adaptogens”, but the serving is only 1g of actual mushrooms. The rest is Rhodolia, Ashwagandha and Mucuna, which are herbs and those are very low doses.3) QUALITY:Four Sigmatic uses 100% fruiting bodies, which is the purest form of mushroom extract, so it passes here.4) VALUE:While the quality of the mushroom extract is good, there is a bit of smoke and mirrors in regard to the dosage of actual mushrooms which is just Lion’s Mane and Chaga. For $35, the value might not be there for me. Comparing this to my other favorite, Lucid Super Coffee, which has 2,000mg of mushrooms + 3,000mg of Nootropics (superfuel for your brain) which is around the same price, you are getting WAY more for what you’re paying for. Four sigmatic is still a decent product which will stay in my cabinet, but Lucid has won my heart at least for now. My best advice is to pay attention to the dosage and quality of mushrooms, and ALWAYS read the label!

This coffee is surprisingly really good..I normally use the Ryze brand and wanted to try something different. I love how this blends really smooth and tastes just as good as the Ryze coffee. Definitely will buy this again. It's smooth and has a nutty Carmel flavor.

I'm happy to say that I've started drinking a lot less coffee after starting to enjoy this beverage. Gives you the "clear" feeling without the crash of regular coffee. A coworker sitting next to me said, "GOD that smells good! Is it hot chocolate?" Some may have a bit of time to get used to the taste, but I'm fine with it (my SO doesn't like the aftertaste of the monkfruit sweetener...but hey, more for me).

Very good

When I got into mushroom coffee, the first brand I tried was Ryze. There was definitely an acquired taste period going from coffee to Ryze but I got used to it. I wanted to try other brands out there and chose this one next due to the ratings.I was expecting a similar flavor profile but found this one to be sweeter and more chocolate tasting. Great if that's what you like but I wasn't a fan. It might've made an easier transition from coffee but I actually preferred a more natural taste. This tasted like it was flavored to hide and if you're the one who orders those sweet, flavored coffees from Starbucks, this would be for you. There's also a very slight hint of that splenda sweetener taste but I don't see that added.I think this has more caffeine than Ryze as well. I'll be moving along on my mission to try other mushroom coffees.
