There is a group of Finnish guys who want you to start drinking coffee made of mushrooms.

These aren’t mushroom farmers–the folks at Four Sigmatic simply believe they have cracked the code when it comes to jittery-free java.

Mushrooms have a lot of applications beyond pizza toppings: fungi and mold provide medicinal chemicals (think penicillin), mushrooms are well on their way to becoming common building materials, and they can even be used as a fire retardant. And now, also, coffee.

The base of the drink is the Four Sigmatic version of instant coffee: 100% Arabica beans grown in Southeast Asia without pesticides. Then they add 250 mg of chaga mushroom extract to counteract the natural acidity of coffee that can upset stomachs. Plus, chaga mushrooms are strong antioxidants, which can support immune health. They also throw in 250 mg of the Lion’s Mane mushroom, which helps with nerve growth and cognitive improvement.

They also have a version 350 mg chaga mushrooms plus 150 mg of Cordyceps mushrooms, which will help give you an energy boost–meaning all the stimulation you need with less caffeine. There’s also a dash of the rhodiola root, something Vikings supposedly took before going into battle, so that’s something.

Great, so the coffee will keep you alert, boost your immune system, prevent stomach upset, has zero calories, and even boost concentration: it must taste like shit. Not so! Regular coffee and this mushroom coffee are almost identical in texture and flavor. And it couldn’t be easier to use: tear open the packet, pour it in a cup, fill it up with hot or cold water, and then doctor it however you normally would. This is the perfect coffee for home, work, camping, you name it. It goes where you go. At $14.99 for a box of ten packets, you’re looking at about $1.49 per cup. You’re not just boosting your immune system, you’re boosting your bank account.

Not a coffee drinker but still want in on this mushroom thing? No worries! Four Sigmatic also has mushroom Hot Chocolate.

If you’re still hesitant, order a box, have someone make you two cups of coffee, one regular, one mushroom, and do a blind taste test. It’ll be harder than you think.

Is savory tahini coffee the next trending coffee drink?
How some coffee drinkers are experimenting with Tahini
instant coffee

Tahini, a creamy paste made from stone-ground sesame seeds, is popular in Middle Eastern cuisine, but it is now being stirred into cups of coffee. According to new trending data from Yelp, Tahini coffee and Tahini latte are trending in new searches across the U.S. Tahini is a staple in savory Middle Eastern dishes, but would you try it in your coffee? Google Trends data shows a recent 452% increase in search volume for Tahini Latte, signifying the rise of what could be a trending new coffee in 2025.

Tahini coffee combines a type of coffee (usually cold brew or espresso) with tahini paste. From here, the drink can be enjoyed as is or lightly sweetened with maple or honey. Some recipes for making a Tahini Latte include topping the drink with oat or almond milk. The resulting coffee is unique, with a rich, nutty, and lightly savory flavor, unlike many sugary coffee beverages on the market. For those who enjoy Mediterranean-inspired flavors, the Tahini Latte could be the next go-to latte for a savory-focused coffee.

Klatch Coffee introduces new spring-themed blend, Songbird
A coffee blend from four different origins
Klatch Coffee Songbird

Klatch Coffee has introduced a new, limited-time-only coffee just in time for spring. The Songbird blend features coffees from four origins—Brazil, Colombia, Ethiopia, and Panama—highlighting the natural and washed processing methods. This spring blend was loved by Klatch Coffee customers back in 2024, and the brand is proud to bring it back for 2025. In the face of rising prices and new tariffs, Klatch Coffee has worked hard to get the 2025 edition to market at a price lower than the price in 2024.
Klatch Coffee's Songbird blend delivers the same elegant flavor notes as last year, featuring notes of honeysuckle, white cherry, and molasses, thanks to a blend of Brazil, Panama, Ethiopia, and Colombian beans.
“In 2024, customers told us they loved Songbird, but it was more expensive compared to some of our other coffees," says Mike Perry, Klatch Coffee’s Roastmaster. “It’s no secret that the combination of tariffs, weather, and increased demand continue to drive coffee prices higher worldwide, so we are really excited to deliver Songbird this Spring at a lower price than in 2024!”
In addition to the return of the Songbird blend, Klatch Coffee has also launched a second springtime limited-edition coffee called Peru Geisha. Peru Geisha is delivered in special packaging, containing 310 grams of premium coffee (almost double the amount of coffee compared to other typical Geisha packaging) in a distinctive, re-usable drawcord bag. This coffee highlights the delicate, bright, and clean citrus flavors of high-altitude Geisha grown in the hamlet of Gracias a Dios, District of Lonya Grande in the department of Amazonas, Peru.
