Shoppers are ditching their usual drinks in favour of MOGU’s organic mushroom coffee alternative, praising its natural ingredients and sustained energy without the crash
With many of us ready for a well-deserved break this summer, plenty of us rely on caffeine-heavy beverages to help us spring out of bed on busy days. Those searching for alternatives to regular coffee may discover that numerous options are packed with fillers and marketing hype, making it challenging to discover the ideal energy boost.
Step forward MOGU, a self-care brand providing organic drink blends and capsules. For anyone wanting to abandon their usual morning coffee, the brand claims it utilises the ‘highest quality’ organic superfoods including Matcha, cacao and functional mushrooms to help boost focus, deliver steady energy and soothe those leading hectic lifestyles.
MOGU’s products feature a stripped-back ingredients list, seeking to help time-pressed individuals ‘reclaim their rhythm,’ assisting users throughout the day, whether they require morning concentration or need to unwind in the evening. Customers can now enjoy 10% off selected products using the code REACH10, including some of the brand’s bestselling drinks.
The brand’s beverages have garnered glowing reviews online, with products such as the popular Mushroom Matcha (£50, now £45 with code) winning over shoppers. Currently holding a flawless five star review rating, the product has been created with ingredients intended to provide sustained energy, metabolic support and antioxidant defence, all without the subsequent crash.
The brand claims the ingredients in the Matcha drink may assist with gut-brain support and enhanced concentration. Those who aren’t keen on Matcha might want to try the Mushroom Coffee, which normally costs £45 but is currently available for £40.50.

The mushroom coffee provides drinkers with 30 servings, which at the reduced £40.50 price makes each drink work out at around £1.35 without any of the additions, such as water or plant based milk. This means it’s likely to be significantly cheaper than buying a takeaway coffee while out and about or at work.
The product features a low-acid coffee and functional mushroom formula using ingredients traditionally associated with sustained focus. Packed with antioxidants designed to bolster the body’s defences, it’s an appealing option for those reluctant to abandon their morning coffee entirely, reports the Mirror.
Alternatively, on the high street there’s DIRTEA’s Mushroom Coffee available for £38. The beverage includes Lion’s Mane, which is believed to help enhance focus and energy levels. Those who’d rather take a capsule than drink a beverage might prefer the Unfabled Mushroom Superblend Capsules 120s, available for £24.99 at Boots.
Back at MOGU, chocolate enthusiasts can purchase the Mushroom Cacao for £40.50 (reduced from £45), which features ingredients thought to encourage a calmer mood, while aiming to restore hydration and support the body’s natural recovery process. Such is its online popularity, one customer praised it as ‘the best’ saying ‘wow.’
One devotee of the Mushroom Matcha said: “I’m in my 50s and love the natural energy and skin boost this gives me. I pair it with collagen and coconut milk. Delicious and full of benefits.”
Meanwhile, another customer, Rio, raved about one of the brand’s hero products, the Mushroom Coffee, writing: “I drank less coffee and saved. Cheaper than fancy latte with steady benefits that last longer. Game-changer.”
Another named Liz said: “Works well. Tastes really good! I start the day with tea/shakes and then have a cup of this mid-morning. I’ve been drinking less coffee and saving a lot of money by not buying coffee out. Win win.”
A further reviewer, Marco, also commented: “So far so good. More energy, less coffee. Long hours drain me but MOGU kept me going strong and I stopped taking too much coffee and rubbish energy drinks.”
One delighted buyer said of the MOGU Mushroom Cacao: “Wow wow wow…this is my second order. Placed my first one last week, loved it so much and had to get another one before the holidays.
“Beautiful ingredients, packaging and really premium. I haven’t come across a cacao like this. Felt instantly relaxed after drinking it. I’ve also been sleeping so well on the nights I have it in the evening.”
It’s worth bearing in mind that not every drink will suit everyone’s taste buds, so buyers may need to read up on the flavours in Mogu’s collection before purchasing, but for those keen to swap their regular instant coffee there’s an extensive selection of products available.
Other standout options include the popular Lion’s Mane Capsules (£36, was £40), which eliminate the hassle of drink preparation, and the Collagen Creamer (£27, was £30) designed to nourish skin, which has been described as ‘perfection’ by one customer.
