MycoBrew® Cocoa Test & Review
The Verdict
MycoBrew® Cocoa stands out in the mushroom-drinks category as a simple yet effective superfood blend that combines 800 milligrams of organic Lion’s Mane mycelium with fair trade cocoa, making it an approachable entry point for functional beverages. The 95% fair trade certified ingredients and organic certifications add ethical appeal, while the coconut sugar keeps sweetness balanced without overpowering the chocolate profile. It's priced accessibly at $19.95, positioning it as a solid value for daily rituals.
This product shines for anyone looking to incorporate Lion’s Mane into a familiar hot drink format, especially during cooler months when a mug topped with marshmallows feels just right. Key differentiators include the fair trade focus—rare in mushroom blends—and the fermented brown rice biomass in the Lion’s Mane extract, which supports a clean, biomass-based formulation. It's not overly complex, making it more versatile than heavily spiced or adaptogen-packed competitors.
Taste & Texture Profile
- Flavor: Rich, chocolaty base from fair trade cocoa with subtle toffee hints from coconut sugar; the Lion’s Mane adds no detectable mushroom earthiness, resulting in a smooth, comforting profile ideal for hot preparation.
- Texture: Fine powder blends easily into a creamy, frothy hot liquid with a velvety mouthfeel; sea salt enhances depth without grittiness, and it pairs perfectly with marshmallow toppers for added silkiness.
Ingredient Breakdown
- Cocoa†◊ (Fair Trade Certified™): Provides the core chocolate flavor and antioxidant-rich base; 95% of ingredients are fair trade certified by Fair Trade USA®.
- Coconut sugar†◊: Natural sweetener with caramel-like toffee notes and a lower glycemic impact than refined sugar; keeps the blend indulgent yet balanced.
- Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus) mycelium†/fermented brown rice biomass† (800 mg): Organic mushroom extract grown on fermented brown rice, included for its place in functional mushroom traditions; subtle integration avoids overpowering the cocoa.
- Sea salt: Minimal addition to amplify flavors and provide a flavor-balancing mineral note.
All marked ingredients are certified organic (†).
