Mushroom Magic
Sustenance
05 - 11 - 21
Utilised for centuries, mushrooms are celebrated for their ability to support immunity, hormonal balance and full-body integration, especially the nervous and immune systems. Our symbiotic Mushroom Magic layers earthy flavours to deliver an enchantingly silky brew with a subtle kick of heat. By adding a dose of powerful mushroom powder to the roasted qualities of bitter cocoa, it becomes a drink that can curb a sweet tooth while also providing the transformative qualities of mushrooms. Best made in the afternoon when you need a little magic.
