CEO Jamie's fave is Cacao with Reishi.
'I mix it with warm coconut milk and add a bit of coconut oil for an extra kick of creaminess and flavor.
It’s the perfect way to relax, unwind, and signal to my brain that it’s time for rest.'

Social Media guru, Emma's, fave is a blend of Lion’s Mane and Chaga to really kick start her day.

It really turns my brain on and it’s what I look forward to each morning!'
