What’s Actually in Your Mushroom Drink (and Why It Matters)
When it comes to functional drinks, ingredients matter. Not just what they are, but where they come from and how they’re handled along the way.
Thoughtful Sourcing, Ingredient by Ingredient
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all sourcing. Each ingredient we use is intentionally chosen from a select number of trusted farms.
Take our matcha, for example. We don’t simply source “ceremonial grade” and call it a day. Our matcha comes from a few small farms in Japan known for exceptional growing practices, vibrant flavor, and purity. The result is a matcha that’s smooth, naturally sweet, and free from the bitterness that often comes from lower-quality or mass-produced matcha.
The same care goes into our spices. Rather than buying bulk blends, we work with a small network of farms around the world that specialize in growing and harvesting individual spices at their peak. This not only preserves flavor and aroma, but ensures consistency and integrity from batch to batch.
Testing for What You Can’t See
Every ingredient we source is USDA certified organic and is tested for heavy metals, contaminants, and overall quality. While lab testing doesn’t make for flashy marketing, it’s one of the quiet ways we protect the integrity of our products and ensure our beverages are made to support your health.
Lion’s Mane, Done Right
Lion’s Mane is at the heart of everything we make, and it’s where quality matters most.
Beyond sourcing organic, whole fruiting body Lion’s Mane extract, we verify its beta-glucan content, which comes in at 30%. Beta-glucans are one of the key compounds responsible for Lion’s Mane’s functional benefits, and testing for them ensures you’re getting a meaningful, effective extract.
Global Ingredients, Made Close to Home
Although our ingredients are sourced from some of the best growing regions in the world, all Mane Beverages products are tested, blended, and packaged in Denver, Colorado. Keeping production close to home allows us to maintain strict quality control, ensure consistency, and support responsible manufacturing practices from start to finish.
Why This All Matters
You deserve to know what’s in your cup and why it’s there.
We believe functional drinks should be built on transparency, not buzzwords or trends or fads. Thoughtful sourcing, rigorous testing, and intentional formulation are what allow our blends to actually nourish your body.
Because when something becomes part of your daily routine, how it’s made matters just as much as how it tastes.
