Wired at 9, wiped out at 4: why more coffee lovers are adding lion's mane to their morning cup
Same coffee, same coffee maker. Just without the jitters and the afternoon slump.
By Jessica Moore · Wellness writer
It starts with the first cup. A few minutes later your heart is racing a little, your hands feel shaky and your stomach is not happy. You get a lot done before lunch. Then, around four, the energy disappears, your head goes foggy and you find yourself making another cup or reaching for something sweet.
Most of us blame ourselves: too little sleep, too much work. But part of the problem is in the cup.
Why ordinary coffee lets you down
Ordinary coffee gives you a spike and then a drop. The higher you go in the morning, the harder you land in the afternoon, and your focus goes with it. Drinking less coffee isn't the answer for most of us. Drinking smarter coffee might be.
The mushroom that changes the cup
Lion's mane is the mushroom best known for focus, memory and mental clarity. Added to coffee, it works alongside the caffeine to keep your energy smooth and focused instead of jittery. People who switch describe it the same way: the same lift from their coffee, without the edge and without the crash.
"But does it taste like mushrooms?"
That's the first question everyone asks. The answer is no. The coffee readers are switching to, Claroma™, is real ground dark-roast Arabica coffee, bold and rich with notes of dark chocolate. The mushrooms are extracted and flavourless. It tastes like coffee because it is coffee.
What's in every cup
- Dark-roast Arabica coffee with about 150 mg of caffeine per 12 oz cup, roughly a regular cup, all from the coffee itself
- 500 mg of lion's mane per cup, dual-extracted from the fruiting body, for focus and mental clarity
- Chaga, an antioxidant mushroom that supports your everyday defences
- No sugar, no sweeteners, no fillers, and low in acid, so it's easier on the stomach
What to expect, and when
- From the first cup: a full-flavour coffee without the jitters.
- In the first few days: steadier energy and a softer landing in the afternoon.
- Within 7 days: many people notice sharper focus and calmer energy. The benefits build with a daily cup.
How to brew it
Exactly like your usual ground coffee: drip coffee maker, French press, pour-over or espresso. Black or with milk, hot or iced. One bag makes about 13 cups. No new gadget, no new routine. See the label for the brewing amount.
