Does Joe'y taste like coffee?
Joe'y has a rich, roasted flavor that is similar to coffee but with a smoother, more balanced profile. It doesn't have the bitterness or acidity of traditional coffee, making it a gentle alternative. Many customers describe it as chocolatey, slightly nutty, and the perfect amount of bitter vs sweet.
Is Joe'y a mushroom coffee?
Not exactly. Joe'y isn't a traditional mushroom coffee. While it includes functional mushrooms like Reishi, Lion's Mane, and Cordyceps, it does not have a strong mushroom flavor. Its smooth, roasted taste makes it a great option even for those who haven't enjoyed mushroom-based drinks in the past.
Does Joe'y taste like mushrooms?
Nope! Joe'y contains functional mushrooms, but it does not taste like mushrooms. Some customers detect a mild, natural earthiness that reminds them of coffee, but overall, the roasted chicory and chocolatey cacao lead the flavor profile. If you want a truly incredible flavor experience, we recommend adding your favorite milk, creamer, or coffee fixings.
