FLAVOR: Caramel, Fruit, Nut, Spice

 This is a Fair Trade, organic certified, coffee from Mexico's Impacto Transformador, a cooperative of organized small producers from Chiapas, with a focus on sustainable and environmental practices while producing a top-quality product that provides a dignified income source.

The first coffee plants were probably brought to Mexico around 1785, most likely from Cuba or what is now the Dominican Republic. There are reports of plantations in the region of Veracruz in 1790. Today, Mexico produces quite a range of coffees across its regions, from lighter-bodied, delicate coffees to sweeter coffees with caramel, toffee or chocolate flavours in the cup.

HEALTH BENEFIT: Nerve Growth Factors (NGFs) found in Lions Mane (Hericium Erinaceus) is documented to support overall brain health. 

Hericium Erinaceus, more commonly known as Lion’s Mane, is one of the best-known functional mushrooms and has a long culinary and medicinal tradition. In Asian countries such as China, India, Japan, and Korea, Lion's Mane has been used for millennia to support neurological and digestive issues.

Today, scientists have been intently studying Lion's Mane's neurotrophic and adaptogenic properties. Animal studies suggest that Lion's Mane supports a host of neurological functions such as memory loss and may even combat degenerative brain diseases. 

Aside from Lion's Mane's magical neurological benefits, it has also shown promise in relieving mild symptoms of depression and anxiety, accelerating recovery from nervous system injuries, protecting against ulcers, reducing heart risk, helping manage symptoms of diabetes, reducing inflammation, and boosting the immune system.
