Introducing Ra Hygge Organic Mushroom Coffees:

Discover low-acidity mushroom coffee blends that offer unique advantages

Coffee is considered the #1 product associated with “hygge”. “Hygge”, pronounced “hoo ga”, is a positive feeling of wellness, connection, comfort and warmth. According to renowned Danish Happiness researcher Mike Wiking and his book “The Little Book of Hygge,” coffee is synonymous with hygge in Danish culture.

Our new Ra Hygge mushroom coffee range wholeheartedly embraces the Danish concept of hygge, as they invite you to experience more than just a cup of coffee – they offer you the opportunity to embrace a lifestyle enriched with warmth, simplicity, and the timeless charm of hygge while supporting health and well-being!

The Nordic region drink the most coffee per capita in the world and in Southern Sweden resides Ra Hygge’s own small micro-roastery where they craft roast Peruvian organic coffee beans infused with dual extracted organic functional mushrooms. Ra Hygge’s micro-roastery is the result of a 10-year journey and a testament to the company’s commitment to quality, allowing for precise control over their patented roasting process and ensuring that each batch meets the highest standards and offers exceptional taste and quality.

Conventional Coffee: The Pros and Cons

  • Research suggests that Coffee has an effect on enhancing endurance exercise performance and increase levels of alertness.
  • Coffee’s high polyphenolic content has antioxidant properties that may protect cells from free radical stress. Studies also suggest that coffee may have neuroprotective effects.1  
  • On the other hand, not everyone can enjoy coffee without experiencing unwanted side effects. Many are sensitive to the over-stimulating effects of caffeine consumption.
  • Others find conventional coffee a reflux trigger - acid reflux affects over 25% of the Western population. The consumption of conventional, highly acidic coffee alongside a Western diet and fast-paced lifestyle may contribute to inflammation and the associated prevalence of Western lifestyle-related health issues.

The Answer: Ra Hygge

For numerous individuals experiencing jitters or stress anxiety symptoms triggered by coffee, or those with sensitive stomachs afflicted by reflux, Ra Hygge low-acid coffee has emerged as a welcome solution. It restores the joy of coffee whilst supporting health and wellbeing. With their patented process to reduce acidity to pH6.5, together with the addition of functional mushrooms this could help balance the unwanted effects of caffeine.

What sets mushroom coffee apart from conventional coffee?

Here are some reasons why you might consider incorporating mushroom coffee into your routine:

  1. 1.    Reduced Acidity: Mushroom coffee tends to have lower acidity compared to traditional coffee. In addition, Ra Hygge patented post roasting process for adding mushrooms shows that the acidity is as low as pH 6,5 (compared to normal coffee with pH 3-5).

Some mushroom coffees claim to have low acidity but without measuring the pH and only claim this because of the mushroom content in the coffee. 

  1. 2.    Enhanced Nutrition: Mushrooms, such as chaga, reishi, lion's mane and tremella, are rich in various bioactive compounds that offer potential health benefits. 
  1. 3.    Balanced Energy: Ra Hygge Mushroom Coffee contains less caffeine than traditional coffee, which can lead to a more balanced and sustained energy boost without the jitters or crash commonly associated with high caffeine consumption, i.e. less ups and downs! Additionally, functional mushrooms are considered to have ‘adaptogenic’ properties, which may help the body adapt to stress and support overall energy levels. 
  1. 4.    Unique Flavour Profile: Earthy, nutty, and even slightly sweet notes from mushrooms can complement the rich, bold flavour of coffee. The result is a smooth, well-balanced cup of coffee with a distinct umami flavour profile that caters to the discerning palate of coffee enthusiasts. 
  1. 5.    Sustainability: Ra Hygge prioritises sustainability by using organic, ethically sourced ingredients, supporting organic coffee farmer cooperatives in Peru, and employing environmentally friendly practices in their production processes. 
  1. 6.    Convenience: Mushroom coffee offers a convenient way to incorporate the potential health benefits of mushrooms into your daily routine without the need for additional supplements or preparations. It can be brewed just like regular coffee using your preferred brewing method, making it easy to enjoy at home or on the go.

A spotlight on mushroom ingredients:

Ra Hygge uses only the fruiting body in its functional mushroom extracts. This provides for a higher nutritional value of polyphenols and triterpenes.

 Each serving of coffee supplies 284mg of dual extracted mushroom fruiting body with 30% Polysaccharides + 3% Tripenes content.

All the mushroom extracts are certified EU organic and tested in a laboratory by the EU's official regulations.

Tremella: (Tremella fuciformis)

We like to think of Tremella as the ultimate beauty mushroom! Tremella mushrooms contain proline, lysine and glycine which are all important amino acids for collagen production. Tremella, also called Snow Fungus, has a high polysaccharide content with antioxidant properties important for protection against free radical damage of the skin.2 It can hold up to 500 times its own weight in water, which may go some way to help the skin to stay hydrated and maintain a youthful appearance.

 Ra Hygge Organic gourmet coffee infused with Tremella & Maitake mushrooms has a rich, full-bodied taste with nutty notes of almond and a delightful earthy aroma.

Join us on a journey as we reimagine the art of coffee appreciation. Check out Ra Hygge organic gourmet coffee varieties available in filter, beans and expresso, including:

  • Lions Mane Mushroom Coffee: medium -roasted coffee beans infused with dual extracted Lion’s Mane.

We like to think of Lion’s Mane as the “ultimate brain fuel mushroom”. 

  • Reishi Mushroom Coffee: Organic coffee infused with Reishi mushroom with a balanced and medium-bodied taste.

We like to think of Reishi as the “overall balanced energy and daily wellbeing mushroom”. 

  • Chaga Mushroom Coffee: Rich, full-bodied taste with nutty notes of almond and a distinct, umami-like, earthy aroma from Chaga.

We like to think of Chaga as a “daily toast to immunity and balanced energy mushroom”.
