Lion's Mane
Lion's Mane has no gills at all. Instead it grows hundreds of soft, hanging spines that release its spores, which is why a fresh one looks more like a frozen waterfall or a sea coral than a mushroom. In Chinese it is Hou Tou Gu, the monkey head mushroom. In the wild it returns to the same old beech or oak year after year, and in Britain it is rare enough to be protected by law, so all the Lion's Mane you buy is cultivated.

Lion's mane coffee: ground Arabica and Robusta with Lion's Mane and turmeric
Focus Mushroom Coffee is our lion's mane mushroom coffee. It starts with real ground coffee, a blend of Arabica and Robusta beans, then adds two extra ingredients: Lion's Mane mushroom and turmeric. The result is a smooth, full-bodied cup that brews just like the coffee already in your cupboard. Each bag holds 60g and costs £18.49.
What is in the bag?
Three things. The coffee mixes Arabica, known for its rounded flavour, with Robusta, which brings extra body. Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus) is an edible white mushroom with long, icicle-like strands that make it look more like coral than a typical mushroom. It grows on hardwood trees and is protected in the wild in the UK. Turmeric is the golden root familiar from South Asian cooking, and here it sits quietly in the background. Functional mushrooms are not psychoactive, so this is simply coffee with a difference.
Does it contain caffeine?
Yes. Because this is real coffee, it contains caffeine, much like any other bag of ground coffee. If you are watching your caffeine, treat it the same way you would treat your usual brew.
How do I brew lion's mane coffee?
Use it as you would any ground coffee, and follow the guidance on the bag for how much to use. Pick the method that suits your kitchen:
- Cafetière: Add the coffee, pour over water just off the boil, stir, wait about four minutes, then press slowly.
- Filter machine: Spoon it into a paper filter and brew as normal for an easy cup on a busy morning.
- Moka pot: Fill the basket level without tamping, add water up to the valve and heat gently until it gurgles.
- Pour-over: Wet the paper, add the coffee, let it bloom with a splash of hot water for 30 seconds, then pour slowly in circles.
- Iced: Brew it a little stronger by any method, let it cool, then pour over ice and top up with cold milk.
What does it taste like?
Smooth and full-bodied. The coffee leads, so it tastes like coffee first. Lion's Mane is mild, and turmeric adds a soft, earthy note rather than a spicy kick. It takes milk well, whether dairy, oat or another plant milk, and it is just as good black.
Why choose our Focus blend?
Plenty of mushroom coffees are instant powders. Ours is ground, so you decide the strength, the brew time and the method. Each of our blends pairs one mushroom with one traditional herb, which keeps things clear and simple. Like everything we sell, it is lab tested, and UK orders over £30 ship free. If you would rather take Lion's Mane on its own, see our Lion's Mane range, or compare all three blends in our mushroom coffee collection.
Who is it for?
It is for coffee drinkers who want to bring a functional mushroom into a daily routine without changing how they make their morning cup. It is also an easy first step if you are curious about Lion's Mane and would like to start with something familiar. New to the subject? Our functional mushrooms guide covers the basics.
