Why most mushroom coffee leaves the real problem untouched—and what Nandaka does differently.
Calm energy · Clear focus · Vitality beyond stimulation
Another coffee can make tiredness quieter without making you fully available. You answer faster, then have nothing left for the work—or people—that matter after the meeting.
Three emails. Two half-finished documents. A phone you picked up without deciding to. Stimulation can increase urgency without giving it direction.
If your mushroom coffee leaves your energy and focus unchanged, too weak or absent, the formula may simply be too weak to feel.
Six mushrooms can share one impressive blend number while the amount of each stays hidden. US rules allow proprietary blends to disclose combined weight without every ingredient amount.4
Beta-glucans and triterpenes are two of the compounds functional mushrooms are prized for. But when mycelium grows through oats or rice, the label can include starch from grain—not just mushroom. Labs therefore distinguish fungal beta-glucans from starch-derived alpha-glucans.5˒10
The state you want is not merely awake. It is clear enough to choose, calm enough to stay and positive enough to see possibility. That is where creativity begins.
Pu’er from 250-year-old trees provides tea caffeine and L-theanine. Chuncho cacao supports mood. Lion’s Mane supports cognition. Cordyceps supports cellular-energy pathways. Chaga brings antioxidant defense. Reishi anchors immune balance and cellular resilience.10 Separate human research supports caffeine/L-theanine attention and Reishi beta-glucan immune activity.8–9
We have answers!
In every category we launch a product in, we aim to create the absolute best-in-class – a reigning gold medal champion. As a company, we pride in using only the highest quality ingredients available anywhere and will travel to the ends of the world to source them. Finally, all our products are formulated using ingredients that deliver on their promise, in the dosages required to do so.
Nandaka is no exception, and once again, a new standard of excellence is defined. We believe the data below speaks for itself.
The ingredient table below is printed on every box of product disclosing quantities, types of mushrooms (fruiting body, not mycelium) and the concentration of extracts used. As you can see, not only do we use many extracts in high concentrations, we use them in higher volume than fruiting body powders in all cases but reishi. The reason? To provide the requisite phytocompounds that deliver the health benefits promised.
If you have been led to believe that functional mushrooms are inexpensive to consume in the dosages required to experience sustained health benefits, you may have been misled. A cursory look at the prices of functional mushroom products in markets like Japan, Greater China (China, Hong Kong, Taiwan) or Korea where they are properly regulated will quickly prove otherwise.
Every sachet of Nandaka contains 82 mg of slow-release caffeine from organic probiotic green and black teas.
Nandaka is slightly sweet because of a small amount of Lucuma powder, a fruit nicknamed “gold of the Incas” due to its array of vitamins and minerals. Lucuma is high in fiber and low in sugar, resulting in zero added sugars, while still providing a subtly sweet taste.
The mushroom powders and extracts in Nandaka are considered functional mushrooms distinct from psychoactive mushrooms and have incredible medicinal properties that support everything from metabolic and cognitive support to hormone regulation and immune support. None of our mushrooms have psychedelic properties and they will never make you “trip.”
Consume 1 sachet daily. Mix one sachet with 10-12 oz of hot water. Add product first, then water after. Froth with the Pique Frother or stir to mix. Ideal hot water temperature is 180-200°F. Allow whole ground plants to settle before drinking and discard sediment at the bottom of the cup.
Nandaka has a rich, artisanal taste – effortlessly smooth, creamy and full-bodied, Nandaka delivers flavor you’ll wake up craving every morning. Experience a rich, earthy base of ceremonial cacao with notes of lychee, wild flower, cherry, creme, coffee, and spice.
Absolutely. Male hormonal balance is an emergent topic in men’s health with vast potential implications on longevity and immunity. Every ingredient in Nandaka, without exception, is beneficial for men’s health and performance.
Nandaka is completely free of mycelium and myceliated growth substrates and grains. Nandaka over-indexes on the most precious of functional mushrooms, reishi, and includes one of its most powerful compounds – reishi spore powder.
Yes. Cocoa is generally highly processed and packed with sugar and milk powders to strip it of any bitterness and add a sweet, traditionally-hot cocoa taste. Cacao, on the other hand, is naturally one of the richest sources of polyphenols in the human diet and has the highest flavonoid content per-weight than any other food. As a true unprocessed whole food, your body can easily recognize and assimilate precious vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.

Our functional mushroom blend is meticulously sourced by some of the finest growers in the world. The reishi, lion’s mane and cordyceps in Nandaka is cultivated in wild-mimicking environments in the pristine Wuyi Mountains of China, where reishi has thrived in the wild for millennia. In an area three times the size of New York City with over 90% tree coverage, our reishi are fed by pure mountain spring water. One single reishi mushroom grows on a large native log to maximize nutrient availability – essential for the robust production of beta-glucans, triterpenes and polysaccharides. Chaga is wild harvested from Siberia.
We use both the powder and concentrated extracts of only the fruiting bodies of proven functional mushrooms known to modulate the stress response to support hormone balance, and support immune function and longevity. As a result, Nandaka is completely free of mycelium and myceliated growth substrates and grains. Nandaka over-indexes on the most precious of functional mushrooms, reishi, and includes one of its most powerful compounds – reishi spore powder.
As with all teas and supplements, we recommend always consulting with your physician or other medical expert before use.
Yes. Each serving contains 82mg of tea-derived caffeine from fermented Black and Green Pu’er, plus naturally occurring L-theanine. Nandaka is not caffeine-free; it is formulated to provide a broader experience than caffeine alone.*
Most mushroom coffees begin with coffee and add mushrooms around it. Nandaka begins with a different objective: vitality beyond stimulation. It discloses the individual amount and form of every mushroom, then combines those materials with ceremonial cacao and fermented Pu’er.*
No. Nandaka tastes closer to a complex dark drinking chocolate, with notes of dark cherry, forest wood and warming spice. Many customers enjoy it with hot water, milk or a touch of honey.
Use one sachet in the morning or before work that demands sustained attention. Pour 10–12oz of hot water at 180°F–200°F and stir or froth. Because it contains caffeine, choose timing that fits your sensitivity and sleep schedule.
Because the ingredients and forms cost more: individually disclosed functional mushrooms, rare Reishi spore powder, concentrated extracts, ceremonial Chuncho cacao and fermented Pu’er from 250-year-old wild-arbor tea trees. Nandaka took 1,035 days and 16,305 miles to create.
