Hi Travelers,
I know, I know. I’ve made Ceremonial Grade Matcha my entire personality…
But when a bag of RYZE showed up, I had to see if the mushroom coffee hype was actually real or if it was just clever marketing. 😉So let me tell you my honest thoughts on this interesting twist on coffee…
YES! I may be trading my matcha ceremonies for a MUSHROOM of all things! 😭😭💔🍵
I filmed my very first time making and tasting this because I wanted you guys to see my reaction; Just me and a very suspicious-looking mushroom powder.🤔
The package came with three ADORABLE items: The mushroom coffee powder, a little RYZE mushroom sticker (his name is Rye I believe!), and a little wooden spoon.
Now the taste…It’s... earthy? But in a “cozy cabin” way, not a “dirt” way. It tastes like I should be drinking it out in the woods or in the mountains on a snowy or rainy day. It’s seriously strong and bold, but the mushroom is NOT overpowering! In fact, you can barely taste it. Yes, it tastes slightly different than a normal brewed coffee, but I LOVE a drink where you can literally taste the benefits.
Speaking of the benefits, you could feel exactly what this coffee promises! Usually, by this time of day (it was 3 pm…), I’m either anxious from caffeine or ready for a nap. This feels... weirdly calm? Like I can actually focus on writing my cookbook without my heart racing. It was what you’d call a calm energy, even though those two words are almost complete opposites—
I felt so clean, satisfied, energetic, calm, caffeinated—Everything I needed to feel to make my day a whole lot better.
The preparation instructions suggest 1 spoon of the coffee….Did I use one? no…because I love my coffee strong. So I did two! But please, do one if it’s your first time. This stuff is POWERFUL! But I loved every sip of it.
I drank it straight to get the full RYZE experience of course :)
I don’t know how else to describe the feeling in words how this coffee made me feel so if you haven’t, do give this coffee that is “steaming with benefits” a go!
You will not regret it!!!!!
Are you a bean purist, or have you joined the mushroom side?
yours truly….
Lizzy 🍄☕
