‘One of the best tasting mushroom coffees I’ve tried. Gentle on the stomach and I’m sleeping better as well. I tried probably 3 brands so far, most taste like cardboard – disgusting and barely any mushrooms in it. This is really high quality and I feel energised for the day.’
With January typically feeling like a long month, many of us turn to caffeine-laden drinks to help us hop out of bed on cold dreary mornings. Those seeking alternatives to standard coffee may find many options can be full of fillers and marketing spiel, making it tricky to find the perfect pick-me-up.
Enter MOGU, a self-care brand offering organic drink blends and capsules. For those looking to ditch their traditional morning coffee, the brand says it uses the ‘highest quality’ organic superfoods including Matcha, cacao and functional mushrooms to help support focus, steady energy and calm those with busy lives.
MOGU’s products boast a minimalist ingredients list, aiming to help busy people ‘reclaim their rhythm,’ supporting users throughout the day, whether they need morning focus or to wind down come the evening.
The brand’s drinks have received rave reviews online, with items such as the popular Mushroom Matcha (£45, usually £60) impressing shoppers. Currently boasting a perfect five star review score, the product has been formulated with ingredients designed to help with sustained energy, metabolic support and antioxidant defence, all without the crash.

The brand says the ingredients in the Matcha drink may help with gut-brain support and sharp focus. Those who aren’t Matcha fans may wish to consider the Mushroom Coffee which retails for £60, but is currently £45.
The product boasts a low-acid coffee and functional mushroom formula using ingredients that traditionally aid continuous focus. Containing antioxidants designed to support body’s defences, it’s a desirable choice for those who don’t want to ditch their morning coffee altogether.
Alternatively, elsewhere on the high street there’s DIRTEA’s Mushroom Coffee which retails for £23. The drink contains Lion’s Mane which is thought to help support focus and energy. Those who prefer a capsule to a beverage may wish to opt for the Unfabled Mushroom Superblend Capsules 120s, which can be shopped for £24.99 at Boots.
Meanwhile back at MOGU, and cacao lovers can shop the Mushroom Cacao for £45 using the discount code (was £60), which boasts ingredients thought to promote a more relaxed mood, aiming to replenish hydration and support the body’s natural healing cycle. Such is its popularity online, one drinker hailed it ‘the best’ saying ‘wow.’
One fan who uses 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 shopper praised the Mushroom Coffee, writing: “One of the best tasting mushroom coffees I’ve tried. Gentle on the stomach and I’m sleeping better as well. I tried probably 3 brands so far, most taste like cardboard – disgusting and barely any mushrooms in it. This is really high quality and I feel energised for the day.”
One happy purchaser 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 is worth noting that not all drinks may suit all purchaser’s palettes, and Mogu’s range does sit at a relatively high price point, but for those looking to ditch their traditional instant coffee there’s a whole variety of products to choose from. Others worth a notable mention include the sought-after Lion’s Mane Capsules (£32, was £40), that take the faff out of preparing drinks, and the Collagen Creamer (£26, was £30) crafted to support skin, which has been hailed ‘perfection’ by one reviewer.
