Is Mushroom Coffee the Secret to Stress-Free Mornings?
Mornings can be chaotic — emails piling up, alarms blaring, kids to get ready, or just that groggy “I-can’t-think-yet” feeling. If you’re tired of rushing out the door feeling frazzled, you’re not alone. That’s why more people are rethinking their morning routine and reaching for mushroom coffee instead of the usual high-caffeine brew.
At Cleo Brew, we’ve blended organic coffee with six carefully selected functional mushrooms, including Reishi, a mushroom traditionally associated with calm and emotional balance. Could this be the secret to a smoother, more grounded start to your day?
Let’s explore how mushroom coffee, and especially Reishi, may support a calmer morning — and how Cleo Brew makes it easy to start fresh, every day.
Why Are Mornings So Stressful?
Many of us rely on strong coffee to “wake up fast” — but while caffeine can help you feel more alert in the short term, it can also:
-
Spike your stress hormones (like cortisol)
-
Cause jitters or anxiety, especially on an empty stomach
-
Lead to a crash mid-morning
-
Disrupt your natural rhythm, leaving you feeling on edge
That’s where mushroom coffee comes in — offering the same warm, comforting ritual, but with added adaptogens that support a more balanced energy and calmer mindset.
What Are Adaptogens?
Adaptogens are natural compounds found in certain herbs and mushrooms. They’ve been used for centuries in traditional practices such as Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda, where they are believed to help the body adapt to stressand restore balance.
In the modern wellness world, adaptogens like Reishi, Cordyceps, and Ashwagandha have become popular ingredients in drinks, supplements, and teas. In mushroom coffee blends like Cleo Brew, they offer a more holistic, grounded start to the day.
⚠️ While functional mushrooms have been used in traditional systems and are currently being researched, Cleo Brew does not make medical claims. Individual responses may vary.
Reishi Mushroom: The Star of a Calmer Cup
Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) is one of the most well-known functional mushrooms, often referred to as “the mushroom of spiritual potency” in ancient Chinese texts. It’s traditionally used to support relaxation, emotional balance, and restful sleep.
Today, Reishi is often included in evening blends or morning mushroom coffees for its grounding, calming qualities.
A 2007 review (Boh et al.) explored Reishi’s bioactive compounds — including triterpenoids and polysaccharides — which are believed to contribute to its traditional uses.
