Not all Lion's Mane is Equal
What makes our mushroom extract different?
Not all mushrooms extract are equal. Almost all of the magical health benefits of mushrooms are found in the 'fruiting body' that grow above ground - A.K.A the mushroom that we eat!
But sadly, almost all of the major mushroom suppliers use the cheap mycelium extract that is taken from the roots of the mushroom that grow underground before the fruit is fully developed.
Unsurprisingly, these mycelium extracts contain a fraction of the health benefits of the real mushroom

THE PRODUCER
Wallenford Estate
Having left for Jamaica in 1746 as an admiral in the British Navy, Irishman Matthew Wallen settled in the Blue Mountains to pursue his passion as a botanist; he began growing coffee and purchased the property he called Wallenford Estate, which, at 250 years old, is the oldest and largest on the island. The company currently manages approximately 5,000 acres of land for the production of Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee, working with farmers and supporting their businesses and the surrounding communities. One of Wallenford's key social projects is to provide infrastructure and resources to help farmers improve their yields and support their families with education and health programs. The improved well-being of the communities has been reflected over time in a steady increase in the quality of the coffee produced.
THE NATION
Jamaica
The history of coffee in Jamaica began in 1728 when Sir Nicholas Lawes introduced the first plant in the St. Andrew area, starting the cultivation of coffee; the main production area is located in the Blue Mountains, the mountain range located in the eastern part of the island, with plantations that reach 2300 meters above sea level. Over the years, cultivation spread to other areas of the island, becoming one of the main agricultural activities of the country. The Blue Mountains are the ideal place for growing coffee thanks to the fertility of the soil, abundant rainfall and nighttime formation of fog that hydrates the plants. The main varieties grown in Jamaica are Blue Mountain and High Mountain, both appreciated for their rich and aromatic taste, balanced acidity and velvety body; the aftertaste is very persistent and gives sweet and complex aromas in the cup.
THE REGION
Blue Mountains
The Blue Mountains are Jamaica's premier coffee growing region, with high elevations of up to 2,300 meters above sea level; the area spans four parts of Jamaica, St. Andrew in the south, Portland in the north, St. Mary in the west, and St. Thomas in the east. The cool, foggy climate, abundant rainfall, and rich soil contribute to the complex and unique flavors that are characteristic of coffee from this area. Plantations are located between the mountain peaks, surrounded by lush vegetation and protected from the wind and sun, creating an ideal environment for coffee plants to grow. Rising to an impressive 2,350 meters, the Blue Mountains are some of the highest mountains in the Caribbean, providing breathtaking views of the region. The combination of all these elements makes the Blue Mountains one of the world's best coffee growing areas.
CULTIVAR
Only coffee grown in this specific geographical region is certified “100% Jamaica Blue Mountain,” a trademark protected globally by certification issued by the Coffee Industry Board of Jamaica.
Typica / Jamaica Blue Mountain
Typica is one of the original Ethiopian landraces that helped develop coffee cultivation around the world; brought to India around 1700, in 1706 a single Typica plant was brought from Java to Amsterdam and housed in the botanical garden; from there a plant was shared with France in 1714. In 1719 from the Netherlands the variety was sent on the colonial trade routes to Dutch Guiana, then to Martinique in 1723, Jamaica in 1730, Santo Domingo in 1735 and Cuba in 1748.
Because the variety is low-yielding and highly susceptible to major coffee diseases, it has gradually been replaced in much of the Americas but is still widely grown in Peru, the Dominican Republic and Jamaica, where it is called Jamaica Blue Mountain.
THE PRODUCTION PROCESS
Washed
Harvesting the drupes
The coffee drupes are hand-picked to ensure the perfect level of ripeness of the fruit and delivered the same day to the washing station for processing.
Peel and pulp removal
The first processing phase consists in the mechanical removal of the peel and pulp of the fruit in order to separate the green coffee beans that will be subsequently fermented in water. The processing waste, peels and pulp, will be used as natural compost to nourish the plants.
Fermentation in water
The coffee beans are immersed in water in fermentation tanks, where they will remain for a period that varies from 12 to 24 hours depending on the external climate. After fermentation, the coffee beans are passed through special rinsing channels where the mucilage still present will be removed.
Drying
The coffee beans are now placed on raised beds (African bed) and left to dry in the sun for a period of time that varies from 3 to 4 weeks. This slow procedure will allow to obtain homogeneous beans with a final humidity percentage between 10% and 12%.
Packaging and moisture reduction
After drying, the coffees will be packed in jute bags and stored in the warehouse for about 1 month; this process helps to further standardize the percentage of humidity thus avoiding the risk of mold formation during sea transport.
Decortication
Once the right level of humidity is reached, the parchment is removed from the coffee bean through a roller machine. The coffee is then placed permanently in jute bags and made ready for shipping.

THE PRODUCER
Small producers Meru County
Meru County is home to the Ameru people, who have a rich history and tradition of growing coffee, which is done on small plantations, often less than one or two hectares each. As soon as the coffee is picked, the farmers immediately take it to the washing station for processing, so each day's batch can come from several dozen farmers.
Kianjuri Farmers Cooperative
Kianjuri Cooperative Coffee Farmers Ltd, established in the 1970s, is made up of around 900 smallholder farmers and is managed by an elected board of directors who oversee the day-to-day operations through a factory manager who is responsible for registering members, maintaining records and processing the coffee after delivery to the factory. The farms are located in Meru County, Kenya, around Kianjuri, on the north-eastern slope of Mount Kenya, at altitudes of around 1,800 metres above sea level.
THE NATION
Kenya
Kenya is Africa's largest coffee producer, with the industry accounting for about 20% of the country's exports. Coffee, introduced to the country in 1893, is grown in the central and western parts of the country at altitudes between 1,200 and 2,100 metres above sea level, on fertile, clayey and well-drained soils. The total area used for coffee cultivation is estimated at 160,000 hectares. In the production areas, the summer and spring climate is very similar to that of Europe, with a temperature range of no more than 19°C and rainfall well distributed throughout the year. These conditions make most of Kenya's districts unique in the world for coffee cultivation. The country enjoys two flowerings each year, the first just after the onset of the rains in March/April and the second in October, but in most districts the main crop matures from October to December. The Kenyan coffee industry is regulated and guaranteed by the Kenya Coffee Board, the body that imposes and verifies the application of strict quality standards. Kenyan coffee is known for its unique aromatic profile, characterized by fruity aromas and soft acidity, which make each tasting an inimitable experience.
THE REGION
Meru County
The county, which covers an area of approximately 7,000 square kilometers along the eastern side of Mount Kenya, enjoys a microclimate that favors agriculture, the main activity in the area, allowing the production of quality tea and tobacco. But it is above all coffee that, grown at an altitude of between 1,350 and 1,950 meters above sea level, manages to reach very high levels of quality thanks to the fertile volcanic soils and abundant rainfall which, combined with the experience and passion of the farmers, contribute to the exceptional quality of the coffee produced. Cultivation in Meru County dates back to the early 20th century, when the British colonial government introduced the cultivation of the coffee plant; but it was only from the 1950s that the Ameru people embraced coffee cultivation as a primary economic activity, over time establishing the county as a production area of Specialty Coffees and earning numerous awards for its unique and high-quality beans, sought after by coffee enthusiasts around the world.
CULTIVAR
Batian
Batian is a composite variety, the result of a cross between the Typica and Bourbon varieties; resistant to leaf rust and the most common diseases, the cultivar was introduced in Kenya in 2010.
SL 28
Among the best known and most appreciated African varieties, SL 28, widespread in Kenya since the 1930s, is suitable for medium-high altitudes, shows resistance to drought but is susceptible to the main coffee diseases.
SL 34
The cultivar, originally selected in Kenya in the late 1930s at Scott Agricultural Laboratories, is adapted to high altitude areas with good rainfall and features plants with dark bronze shoot tips alternating with green-tipped stumps.
Ruiru 11
The cultivar is a high-yielding variety, planted in Kenya to allow for more intensive coffee production, with fewer losses due to disease and pests, while maintaining high quality standards.
THE PRODUCTION PROCESS
Harvesting the drupes
The coffee drupes are hand-picked to ensure the perfect level of ripeness of the fruit and delivered the same day to the washing station for processing.
Peel and pulp removal
The first processing phase consists in the mechanical removal of the peel and pulp of the fruit in order to separate the green coffee beans that will be subsequently fermented in water. The processing waste, peels and pulp, will be used as natural compost to nourish the plants.
Fermentation in water
The coffee beans are immersed in water in fermentation tanks, where they will remain for a period that varies from 12 to 24 hours depending on the external climate. After fermentation, the coffee beans are passed through special rinsing channels where the mucilage still present will be removed.
Soaking
The beans are then sent to soaking tanks where they remain under water for another 48 hours. This process increases the proteins and amino acids, which in turn increases the complexity of the acidity. After soaking, the coffee is left to drain for 1-2 hours
Drying
The coffee beans are now placed on raised beds (African bed) and left to dry in the sun for a period of time that varies from 3 to 4 weeks. This slow procedure will allow to obtain homogeneous beans with a final humidity percentage between 10% and 12%.
Packaging and moisture reduction
After drying, the coffees will be packed in jute bags and stored in the warehouse for about 1 month; this process helps to further standardize the percentage of humidity thus avoiding the risk of mold formation during sea transport.
Decortication
Once the right level of humidity is reached, the parchment is removed from the coffee bean through a roller machine. The coffee is then placed permanently in jute bags and made ready for shipping.

THE PRODUCER
CODECH
CODECH (Coordinator of Development Organizations of Concepcion Huista) is a cooperative of Mayan producers founded in 1998, where some of the best coffees in Guatemala are grown. Gregorio, the general manager, sets as the primary objectives of the Cooperative the participation of women in society and the workforce, as well as the renewal of their farms. The special program CODECH's women producer coffee is one of the catalysts of the collaboration with women producers; in fact, the coffees in this batch come 100% from farms owned or managed by women. The women producers receive a premium for the sale of their coffee, which they use to support health initiatives that benefit their community, including helping the research laboratory for women's health in the Municipality of Concepcion Huista, which unfortunately has a high infant mortality rate.
THE NATION
Guatemala
A large percentage of Guatemala's population, and thus the coffee sector, identifies with one of over 20 officially recognized indigenous groups. Most growers are smallholders who work independently of one another, loosely associated through proximity and cultural ties, or formally affiliated with cooperative associations. In 1960, Guatemalan coffee growers developed their own union, which later became the National Coffee Institute Anacafé (Asosiación Nacional del Café), which is a research center, marketing agent, and financial organization that provides loans and support to growers throughout the various regions. Beginning in 2012 and continuing for several years, the coffee leaf rust epidemic proved to be a major obstacle to coffee production in the country, reducing yields by up to 25% and prompting the government to declare a state of emergency. Farmers have tried a combination of chemical and organic treatments, intensive and targeted pruning, reduction of shade plants and replacement of susceptible varieties such as Bourbon, Caturra and Catuai with others more resistant to leaf rust. Anacafé has worked closely with World Coffee Research on varietal trials and research that will hopefully lead to protection and prevention of similar epidemics in the future, as well as ensuring more productive crops for small growers.
THE REGION
Huehuetenango
The plantations are located in Concepcion Huista, in the Huehuetenango region, on the border with Mexico, more precisely in the Sierra de los Cuchumatanes, the highest mountain range in Central America. Thanks to the climate, altitude, water sources and traditional varietals, the region is known for producing some of the best Specialty Coffees in Latin America, which stand out for their chocolatey and fruity flavors.
CULTIVAR
Catch
The Caturra cultivar, which has become common throughout Central America, derives from the natural mutation of a single gene of the Bourbon variety; discovered between 1915 and 1918 in a Brazilian plantation in the state of Minas Gerais, the small plant was introduced into Guatemala in the 1940s, but large-scale commercial adoption developed after about 30 years with the introduction into Costa Rica, Honduras and Panama. For decades, Caturra has been one of the most economically important varietals in Central America, to the point of being often used as a reference point for testing new cultivars.
Maragogype
Discovered in 1870 near the Brazilian city of Maragogype, the cultivar, which derives from the natural mutation of a single dominant gene of the cultivar Typica, is due to Maragogype, one of the parents of the Pacamara variety, and Maracaturra, a variety that has particularly large grains and leaves.
Pache
The variety was discovered in 1949 on the Brito farm in Santa Cruz Naranjo, Santa Rosa, Guatemala; from there the seeds of these plants were selected to form a new high-performance cultivar. Mass selection took place on private farms in Guatemala and from there it spread to other regions and countries.

Small producers Quedamesa
As often happens in African countries, coffee production is in the hands of small producers who belong to consortia and cooperatives and this is the case of the producers in the Quedamesa area, small owners with plots of land of up to 3 hectares.
Duromina Cooperative
In 2010, thanks to a government project that promoted training in agronomy, processing and facilities in the coffee sector through funding, the 320 producers of Quedamesa joined together in a cooperative with the aim of improving the production of their coffees and improving their lives; the name Duromina, chosen for the cooperative, in fact means “to improve one’s life” in the Afan Oromo language. Duromina, which carries out all the steps of coffee processing internally, is passionately committed to research, managing to obtain recognition for the quality levels of the processed coffees, which are always improving year after year. The Cooperative contributes to improving the standard of living of the local population by investing in building schools, basic necessities and roads to reach the less accessible places.
Ethiopia
Coffee in Ethiopia is simply different from coffee grown anywhere else in the world as the plant was not introduced but grew wild in the forests of the country. Legend has it that its discovery dates back to the beginning of 800 AD, in the western region of Kaffa; this is why Ethiopia is considered the cradle of coffee, the place where it all began, where we still find some of the best coffee in the world. Coffee production is generally carried out thanks to the work of many small farmers with less than 1 hectare of land each; in many cases these small farms are described as “coffee gardens” as the plants grow in an environment more similar to a garden than to agricultural land. There are some large private estates, as well as cooperative societies that group small and medium-sized farms. Only Arabica coffee is grown in Ethiopia, with a multitude of cultivated varieties that is unrivaled in the world. Coffee cultivation in Ethiopia represents about 70% of exports and involves about 15 million people in its supply chain.
THE REGION
Agaric
Nestled in the heart of Ethiopia, Agaro is a lush district that sits at an altitude of between 1500 and 2200 meters above sea level and the area is renowned for producing some of the most sophisticated and sought-after specialty coffees in Ethiopia. Although the country boasts a coffee history dating back to 800 AD, this area became famous starting in 1800 BC during the reign of Emperor Menelik II who, recognizing the potential of fertile soil and an ideal climate, promoted the cultivation of coffee to become a key production area for the Ethiopian economy. The combination of altitude, soil and microclimate, allows for the production of coffee with excellent aromatic profiles reminiscent of citrus and fruit in general, bright acidity, extreme sweetness and full body.
CULTIVAR
Heirloom
Heirloom refers to the regional indigenous varieties that grow naturally in the forests of Ethiopia; it is estimated that there are between six thousand and ten thousand varieties in Ethiopia, each with distinct characteristics that are further influenced by differences in growing conditions, processing methods, and farming techniques. Because of this great diversity and the lack of genetic testing, the term Heirloom is often used to encompass the different coffees from Ethiopia; specifically, it refers to one or more unknown varieties from the same batch.

THE PRODUCER
Fazenda Nossa Senhora das Graças
The farm is nestled in the highlands of the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, at an altitude of 1,200/1,300 meters above sea level. The name of the farm was given by the Peixoto family in homage to the matriarch, Mrs. Maria das Graças Peixoto; originally known as Fazenda Boa Vista (Beautiful View) for its spectacular location, overlooking the Rio Grande River valley and, further north, the majestic Serra da Canastra. The geographical location offers fertile soil and a climate favorable to the cultivation of Specialty coffees, a truly magical and surprising place. The farm features green rows of coffee trees, meticulously planted and carefully managed, in a mix of shady subtropical and Atlantic forests, which receive a fresh breeze from the Rio Grande Valley. Fazenda Nossa Senhora das Graças comprises more than 18 distinct coffee plots, ranging in size from 2 to 35 hectares, each planted with specific varieties that grow in their own unique microclimate.
THE NATION
Brazil
Brazil's coffee history began in 1700 AD and for a long time cultivation was reserved exclusively for domestic consumption by European settlers; in fact, we have to wait until the mid-1800s to see the first exports of Brazilian coffee to the USA and Europe. Brazil has several production regions with an annual average that varies from 45 to 60 million bags; in fact, today Brazil is the first producer of Arabica coffee in the world and, after Vietnam, the second producer of Robusta coffee. The most common process used for processing coffee is certainly the natural method, even if new generations of producers are starting to experiment with other processes, especially specialty coffees. The harvest is carried out between April and September, while in the Espirito Santo area alone, where the greatest production of Robusta occurs, it is harvested from October to December. Among the most popular varieties we find Bourbon (including Yellow Bourbon), Catimor, Catuai, Caturra, Maragogype, Typica.
THE REGION
Minas Gerais
The region is the largest coffee producing area in Brazil, in fact, it alone produces about 40-50% of the total cultivated; the region has a mild climate with average temperatures around 22°. In this area the plantations, which have extensions varying from 10 to 100 hectares, are considered the beating heart of coffee in Brazil, producing full-bodied coffees with aromas that range from warm notes of cocoa to fresh fruit.
CULTIVAR
Catuai 2SL
The varietal is a cross between the highly productive Mundo Novo and Caturra, created by the Agronomic Institute (IAC) of the State of São Paulo in Campinas, Brazil. The plants are highly productive compared to Bourbon due to their smaller size, which allows them to be planted at almost double the density and makes it easier to apply treatments against pests and diseases. The varietal, which is characterized above all by its great vigor, is less compact than Caturra and very susceptible to coffee leaf rust. Catuaí comes from the Guarani term multo mom, which means “very good”. Today it is considered to have a good but not excellent cup quality. There are yellow-fruited and red-fruited types, and since then many selections have been made in different countries. The cultivar was created in 1949 from a cross between yellow Caturra and Mundo Novo that was initially called H-2077. The variety was released in Brazil in 1972 after a pedigree selection (selection of single plants through successive generations) and is widely cultivated in the country. In Brazil, several lines of Catuai are available, some of which stand out for their high productivity; lines of Catuaí planted in Central America appear to be less productive; studies conducted in Honduras and Costa Rica have not found significant productive differences between Caturra and Catuaí.
THE PRODUCTION PROCESS
Harvesting the drupes: The coffee drupes are hand-picked to ensure the perfect level of ripeness of the fruit and delivered the same day to the washing station for processing.
Floating: Floating, which consists of immersing the drupes in tanks of water, is carried out within 8 hours of harvesting; at the end of this process only the fruits that sink will be used for subsequent processing while the floating drupes will be discarded as they lack the right cellular density or are defective.
Drying: The drupes are then left to dry in the sun for a period of about 3 weeks until they reach the permitted humidity level of between 10% and 12%. Warehouse and supply chain management After drying, the drupes are dehulled and the parchment coffee beans are packed in jute bags and stored in the warehouse for about 1 month; this process helps to further standardize the humidity percentage thus avoiding the risk of mold formation during sea transport.
Hulling: Once the right level of humidity has been reached, the parchment is removed from the coffee bean through a roller machine. The coffee is then placed permanently in jute bags and made ready for shipping.
