Last Updated: 2026/08/05, Drinks, a variety of novelty-seeking innovations have become more and more common this year. In the midsummer of July, Luckin Coffee produced an edible drink with various ingredients such as glutinous rice and mango, so it would be better to say that it is a cup of mango porridge. Adding ingredients to coffee has also become a common operation, some with juice and some with sweet-scented osmanthus.

Drinks, a variety of novelty-seeking innovations have become more and more common this year. In the midsummer of July, Luckin Coffee produced an edible drink with various ingredients such as glutinous rice and mango, so it would be better to say that it is a cup of mango porridge.

Adding ingredients to coffee has also become a common operation, some with fruit juice and some with sweet-scented osmanthus. Now there is even mushroom coffee in foreign countries. When it comes to mushrooms, the first thing the editor can think of is Cream of Mushroom Soup, or which innovative tea brand has made a mushroom soup, and now it's a strange combination of coffee and mushrooms.

Since the outbreak of the epidemic, the demand for health care has also increased. Long johns, thermos cup, Chinese wolfberry and so on, as long as it is good for health, everyone will not hesitate to start. Mushrooms have similar health functions.

Human beings have studied the health effects of mushrooms for thousands of years, and mushrooms can be found in ancient Rome, ancient Greece and ancient China. Tero Isokauppila, founder of Four Sigmatic, said that Finns have used birch mushrooms as a substitute for coffee since World War II, and functional mushrooms have been a staple in many cultures for thousands of years.

For those who will taste mushroom soup carefully, it is not difficult to find that although the taste of mushroom soup is very strong, the aroma of mushrooms is also very strong, and in many cases, it even overshadows the taste of other ingredients. So mixing mushrooms into coffee to make a drink, no more or less will raise questions: mushroom coffee? Isn't the combination of the taste of mushrooms and the taste of coffee disgusting?

The co-founder of Taika Coffee gave the answer: after the combination of mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms, the strong flavor of coffee obscures the exciting aroma of mushrooms. Whether you put it in coffee or milk, the rest is creamy, tasty caffeine.

About mushroom coffee, does it taste like mushroom? The answer was also given on Four Sigmatic's website, with more than 20, 000 customers saying it didn't taste like mushrooms, tasted more like coffee or hot cocoa, or what they added to the cup.

Different mushrooms also offer different benefits, and many mushrooms are associated with improving immunity, relieving stress, anti-aging, beauty and cognitive enhancement, but it depends on whether this is really the case. After all, this kind of medicine has something to do with medicine, not to mention the dose, everything is hooliganism.

Although studies have shown that mushrooms have been successful in improving the immunity of cancer patients and in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, mushrooms are not recommended as a substitute for medical intervention, nor are they recommended to attach too much importance to its efficacy.

Now, people should innovate their drinks, be curious, taste good, and keep healthy. Mushroom coffee seems to meet the above conditions, but whether it can open up a new market is really unknown.

If you also want to try mushroom coffee, you can find related products in China. Of course, it's a good choice to try something fresh or something. after all, life needs to add a little surprise once in a while.
