Nootropics are supplements which can improve cognitive functions in healthy people. So this means they can support such things as memory, creativity, focus or mood - anything that's brain related.

Adaptogens on the other hand are plant extracts which support your body in adapting to and dealing with the stresses and strains of daily life. They can support both mental and physical responses to stress and help relax mind and body. They can also help to relieve fatigue and boost your immune system.

Some mushrooms can be considered as adaptogens while others are nootropics and some are both. Given their benefits they are often referred to in their own category as functional mushrooms.

You can read about the individual mushrooms we use as well as all our other nootropics and adaptogens in our Benefits section.

Nootropics and adaptogens from plant extracts and functional mushrooms have important potential benefits for physical and mental health, well-being and stress management.

Coffee is a daily habit for literally billions of people around the world and also boasts its own health benefits.

We believe empowering people's daily coffee with some of the most beneficial nootropics and adaptogens around is a practical and enjoyable way to get people to experience the benefits. Also, many of the nootropics and adaptogens pair perfectly with coffee enhancing coffee's benefits such as concentration and minimising some of its downsides such as crashes and jitters.

Just drink Upraising coffee whenever you would drink your regular coffee.

If this is your first time with our nootropic mushroom coffees, we recommend you start with one serving a day for a few days. Then you can build up to three servings a day if you like. Everyone is different and so the ideal amount is personal - just listen to your body.

Our coffee is 100% arabica from Colombia and it tastes like it. We went for a medium roast to ensure more delicate flavors and a smooth and well-balanced taste. We were keen to avoid creating another super strong and bitter black coffee. 

The coffee is perfect for immersion, filter and pour-over devices.

And don't worry, our coffee definitely doesn't taste of mushrooms and the nootropics and adaptogens do not negatively affect the taste.

Our coffee isn't ground specifically for espresso machines. You can try it but we can't guarantee the quality of your cup!

You totally can. It's actually recommended so as to get the full variety of benefits offered by our different functional products.

You can drink different coffees during the day, or if you're brewing a large french press or making a smoothie for example, feel free to include servings from different products in the same pot. Make sure to always follow our recommended serving size and recommended brewing ratio for the perfect coffee.
