Choose Your Super-Power!

Coffee is the most popular beverage worldwide and according to the British Coffee Association a whopping 80% of UK households buy instant coffee to drink at home. There are many reasons to love coffee. The caffeine it contains offers an energising boost. Studies on caffeine have demonstrated its supportive actions on cognition by improving alertness, response time and attention, as well as its potential to enhance athletic performance. Recent research also suggests that moderate coffee consumption may be associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease.

Why supercharge your coffee ritual?

Elevated stress levels in the UK have reached epidemic proportions with many feeling overwhelmed or unable to cope with mental or emotional pressure. One of the most recent developments in coffee is the addition of adaptogens. These refer to botanicals and functional mushrooms that may support your body’s natural stress management system. Adaptogens help to build internal resilience by balancing your system’s ability to adapt to stressors.  Adaptogen coffee blends are a favourite with people who are after peak performance in a sustained way without the overstimulation or crash that comes with drinking regular coffee.

Organic Tradition’s delicious instant coffee blends are loaded with highly prized mushrooms, ayurvedic herbs and other natural organic ingredients that have been traditionally used to build resilience to stress, such as:

  • Reishi Mushroom
