Here at UpCup Koffee, we decided on a few “must-haves” early on. The biggest was that our functional mushroom coffee had to taste like coffee. It took single-origin, 100% Colombian Arabica beans, a coffee expert, and a team of chemists to achieve this.

Be prepared to spread the word, “UpCup Koffee has the Brew!”

We think not. Whoever heard of such a thing, right? Like most of you, we just assumed a mushroom was a mushroom. It grows in the dirt, behind a tree or something. Oh, how wrong we were.

For one, our mushrooms have heads full of cascading, long, white tentacles.

And it grows in the tree!

Talk about a cool mushroom. It even has a cool name—Lion’s Mane. And talk about staying relevant; it’s more than 1,000 years old. And still kickin’ other mushroom's butt. It has protein, fiber, and various vitamins and minerals.

The medicinal benefits, you ask?

Let us tell you: Lion’s Mane stimulates the immune system and increases its response to infection. Its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects reduce oxidative stress and inflammation. Lion’s Mane is said to help with cholesterol, blood pressure, support gut health, mood support, sleep quality, athletic performance, and helps to heal wounds. Some tests say it may have anti-cancer properties, anti-aging elements, and neuroregeneration.

The punch that decides it for us: Lion’s Mane contains bioactive compounds that researchers study for their potential cognitive-boosting, neuroprotective, and anti-inflammatory effects.

In other words, potential brain-boosting benefits...without the swelling.

Yes! UpCup Koffee is designed for daily use. It’s a functional coffee you can enjoy every morning to support focus, energy, and long-term wellness—without the jitters or crash.

While our ingredients are natural, we always recommend checking with your healthcare provider if you're on medications or taking other supplements—especially since Shilajit and NAD+ can be potent.
