Nutrition expert says mushroom coffee offers an energy boost 'without the crash'
Nutrition expert says mushroom coffee offers an energy boost 'without the crash' Nutritionist Clarissa Bell explains what stands out about DIRTEA coffee, which is made with 100% arabica beans, Lion's Mane and B Vitamins. DIRTEA's coffee is said to boost energy levels without the caffeine crash afterwards (Image: DIRTEA ) For most people, coffee is an absolute must-have. Whether it's a hot cuppa on a gloomy day or a refreshing iced blend on a sunny afternoon, we rely on the drink to push through to the end of the workday. Various studies have pointed out the numerous benefits of drinking coffee; however, one significant downside is the inevitable caffeine crash that usually hits mid-afternoon. Typically, another cup of coffee is needed to get us out of this slump, but that can disrupt sleep patterns at night and lead to sleep deprivation due to caffeine. Fortunately, there are alternatives, such as mushroom coffees like DIRTEA, that claim to give an energy boost without the crash and numerous other benefits. DIRTEA's blend combines 100% Arabica beans, Lion's Mane (1,000 mg), and B vitamins (including B6, B12, Pantothenic acid, and Folic acid).

We sought out the opinion of Clarissa Bell, a nutritionist, about the mushroom coffee brand, reports the Mirror. She explained: "What sets DIRTEA's Coffee Superblend apart is the powerful combination of organic arabica coffee with functional mushrooms, adaptogens and essential nutrients, all carefully chosen to elevate energy, focus and resilience. Shop the range £38 £26 Dirtea Buy Here Product Description The mushroom blends are 'crafted to fuel energy, focus, and resilience' "At its core is Lion's Mane, a functional mushroom known for its cognitive benefits. It can support mental clarity, memory and concentration, making it a powerful addition to your morning routine. Like caffeine, Lion's Mane is classed as a nootropic, enhancing cognitive function. Taking them together compounds their benefits." Clarissa explains the other ingredients: "The blend also includes two well-known adaptogens, ashwagandha and Maca. Adaptogens help the body manage stress more effectively; in this case, they balance out the stimulating effects of coffee. "Ashwagandha promotes steady energy levels and can soften the post-caffeine energy crash, while Maca supports cognition, mood and stamina. On top of all this, DIRTEA coffee is enriched with organic B vitamins that support natural energy metabolism, providing your body with resources to keep you energised all day long." Of course, they aren't the only adaptogenic coffee on the market. London Nootropics is another popular option, containing Hifas da Terra lion's mane, cordyceps, and chaga mushroom extracts. They offer a five-star rated starter bundle for £40. Otherwise, Amazon sells Javasu mushroom coffee, which contains lion's Mane, chaga, cordyceps, and L-theanine. So far, shoppers have rated it 4.2 out of five. Amazon sells a 150g box for £36. Clarissa highlighted the advantages of switching to DIRTEA coffee: "Many people find that switching to DIRTEA coffee delivers a noticeable shift in how they feel, starting with more sustained, balanced energy levels and sharper mental clarity. Many people report feeling more alert and productive, without the common side effects of caffeine like jitters, crashes or anxious energy." She also pointed out the health benefits of DIRTEA's mushroom range: "Beyond coffee, DIRTEA's functional mushroom range offers targeted support for a range of health goals. Chaga is exceptionally rich in antioxidants and supports immunity, digestion and skin health. "Reishi is known for its calming effects, helping to regulate the stress response and promote deeper sleep while strengthening immune defences. Tremella is known for enhancing skin hydration and elasticity, making it a go-to for those interested in skin health from within. Cordyceps supports cellular energy, stamina, and recovery, and it is ideal for active lifestyles or anyone needing a natural, caffeine-free energy lift." With a 4.8 rating from 19,848 reviews, DIRTEA has garnered significant praise, including one satisfied customer who shared: "I go to bed looking forward to my DIRTEA coffee every morning. It is a real treat, and I feel the benefits. I also love a DIRTEA on the go." Those who opt for DIRTEA's subscription get a free jug, mug and spoon with the coffee (Image: DIRTEA ) Another chimed in: "I didn't think I'd like this as much as I do. I was looking for something to help with my concentration and focus. I'm going through perimenopause, and my brain feels very scattered a lot of the time. I also knew caffeine wasn't my friend, but I love coffee. "So, having already jumped on the DIRTEA Cacao bandwagon, I thought I'd give the coffee a go and see if a) it would help reduce my caffeine intake and b) would help with my focus and energy levels. Pleased to say it is doing both, and I actually really look forward to my morning coffee now, it tastes great! Well done, DIRTEA." While some were full of praise, others felt the coffee fell short. One reviewer commented, "I can't say I noticed much difference after finishing one jar... Maybe I need more." Article continues below Meanwhile, another added, " I love the stuff. I started to feel positive effects after a couple of days, and I only need one coffee now to get through the day." You can snag DIRTEA in a pouch for £38 (63p per serving) or opt for a subscription, which includes a complimentary mug, jar, and spoon, for £30 (50p per serving) directly from its website.

Nutritionist says Dirtea 'elevates energy' without caffeine crash
We spoke to a nutritionist about the effects of mushroom coffees like Dirtea to understand how the blends of organic arabica coffee with functional mushrooms, adaptogens and essential nutrients work Coffee is one of the greatest discoveries ever. Even the dullest of days is somewhat manageable with a cup of hot coffee dragging us by the collar over the 5pm finish line. Then, when it's sunny, what's better than picking up an iced coffee? Nothing, I tell you, nothing. But while multiple studies indicate the health benefits of cup of joe, it does come with one major downside: the caffeine crash. Normally hitting mid-afternoon, the only thing that normally gets us out of it is another coffee, which can lead to tossing and turning in bed for hours at night, creating a caffeine-induced sleep deprivation loop. This is where mushroom coffees like Dirtea come in. Unlike regular coffee, they promise the boost without the caffeine crash - as well as a host of other benefits. Their blend is made with 100% arabica beans, with 1,000mg of Lion's Mane and B Vitamins (B6, B12, Patothenic Acid and Folic Acid). Those are certainly a lot nutrients, but do they work? And if so, how? We reached out to nutritionist Clarissa Bell to explain what stands out about DIRTEA coffee. She told The Mirror: "What sets DIRTEA's Coffee Superblend apart is the powerful combination of organic arabica coffee with functional mushrooms, adaptogens and essential nutrients, all carefully chosen to elevate energy, focus and resilience.

Adaptogens help the body manage stress more effectively, and in this case, they balance out the stimulating effects of coffee. "Ashwagandha promotes steady energy levels and can soften the post-caffeine energy crash, while Maca supports cognition, mood and stamina.
