Adaptogenial Instant Coffee 100g cookie

Adaptogenialna Kawa Rozpuszczalna Ciastko - 100 g

Adaptogenic is an instant coffee in which, alongside arabica, the manufacturer included extracts from lion's mane, cordyceps, polypore, yellow reishi, rhodiola rosea, and bacopa monnieri, as well as two amino acids: L-theanine and L-tyrosine. The packaging weighs 100 g, and the daily serving is 10 g, which is about two teaspoons dissolved in 200 ml of hot water. This version carries a natural cookie aroma at a 3% share - and it is responsible for the flavor profile. Instant coffee from Coffea arabica constitutes 57% of the blend, so the base is still coffee, not additives. The next items on the list are lion's mane extract 10:1 at a 10% share and the same amount of natural multi-flower honey in powder, which provides sweetness without adding sugar. When brewing, one detail matters: the manufacturer states the water temperature as 93-96°C and explicitly notes not to pour boiling water. In practice, this comes down to one cup a day, prepared without an espresso machine, filter, and cleaning equipment.

Ingredients

Manufacturer's list, with the percentage share of each item:

• Kawa rozpuszczalna (Coffea arabica) - 57%
• Extract from lion's mane (Hericium erinaceus) 10:1 - 10%
• Natural multi-flower honey powder - 10%
• Suszone i mielone daktyle (Phoenix dactylifera) - 5%
• Ekstrakt z kordycepsu (Cordyceps sinensis) 10:1 - 3%
• Extract from polypore (Inonotus obliquus) 10:1 - 3%
• Extract from reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) 10:1 - 3%
• Extract from rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea) 10:1 - 3%
• Naturalny aromat ciasteczkowy - 3%
• Ekstrakt z bakopy drobnolistnej (Bacopa monnieri) 10:1 - 1%
• L-teanina - 1%
• L-tyrozyna - 1%

The 10:1 notation for extracts indicates the degree of concentration of the raw material, not the content of a specific compound, so two products with the same notation do not have to be the same material. The percentages refer to the mass of the blend, and the milligrams provided by the manufacturer refer to the daily serving, which is 10 g of powder: lion's mane 1000 mg, cordyceps, reishi, chaga, and rhodiola each 300 mg, bacopa monnieri, L-theanine, and L-tyrosine each 100 mg. The 10:1 notation applies to all extracts in this recipe, from lion's mane to bacopa. Also, remember that the ingredient list is arranged in descending order by mass, so the order of the items indicates proportions just as much as the percentages. Sweetness comes from honey powder and ground dates, both listed as legitimate ingredients. Aside from them, the list only includes coffee, plant and mushroom extracts, cookie aroma, and two amino acids, so the brew comes out black and clear, and the dessert character is carried by the aroma.

How to use

The manufacturer recommends one daily serving: 10 g, which is about two teaspoons, dissolved in 200 ml of hot water at a temperature of 93-96°C. The caution about boiling water is explicitly stated on the product card, so it's worth taking it seriously - water boiled straight from the kettle is about one hundred degrees and exceeds this range. In practice, waiting a few dozen seconds after boiling is sufficient.

For whom

This is a suggestion for people who start their day with instant coffee anyway and prefer to have plant extracts in the same cup rather than in three separate packages on the shelf. The format is convenient in this regard: two teaspoons, hot water, and it's ready, without an espresso machine, filter, and cleaning equipment, so you can easily prepare coffee at work or on the go. However, if you prefer to select extracts individually and want to decide on each dose separately, the ready mix will be too inflexible for you - the proportions are set by the manufacturer and cannot be changed. It's also worth checking if the preparation method suits you: this is instant coffee, so you won't brew it in a moka pot or pour-over, and you only have control over the amount of water and its temperature. Two limitations arise directly from the composition. The product contains natural multi-flower honey in powder form, so it does not meet vegan diet criteria, and it contains caffeine from arabica, so it is not a drink for late evening. It is also not a product for children.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a serving weigh and how to measure it?

The manufacturer states a daily serving of 10 g and converts it to about two teaspoons. The packaging weighs 100 g. If you want to be sure about the amount, measure the first serving on a kitchen scale and remember how it looks in a teaspoon - the density of powdered coffee with additives can differ from that of pure instant coffee.

What water should I use to brew this coffee?

The manufacturer recommends 200 ml of water at a temperature of 93-96°C and emphasizes not to pour boiling water. This is a narrower range than most of us instinctively use, as water straight after boiling is hotter. The simplest way is to boil the kettle, remove it, and wait a few dozen seconds before pouring the serving.

Is this coffee vegan?

No. The ingredient list includes natural multi-flower honey powder, and honey is an animal-derived product. Aside from that, the recipe is based on coffee, plant and mushroom extracts, dates, and two amino acids. If gluten-free status is also a requirement for you, check the declaration on the packaging you will receive.

Jakie alergeny deklaruje producent?

The product card states one sentence: the product contains honey and may contain traces of milk, soy, and nuts. Honey is an ingredient in the recipe, while the other three are the result of possible cross-contamination on the production line. If you are allergic to any of them, it is not worth the risk.

Variants and category

If you prefer a different flavor profile, the same line also includes a version with vanilla aroma. We have gathered the other items from this shelf in the category Adaptogens.

Safety and storage

Do not exceed the daily serving recommended by the manufacturer. Functional coffee does not replace a varied diet or a healthy lifestyle. The product contains honey and natural caffeine from arabica, so it is not intended for children, and those who limit caffeine should take this into account when planning their drinking time. Pregnant and breastfeeding women, as well as individuals taking medications regularly, should consult the use of products with plant and mushroom extracts with their doctor. The manufacturer declares honey in the composition and the possibility of trace amounts of milk, soy, and nuts - if you are allergic to any of these ingredients, skip this product. Store the package tightly closed, in a dry place, at room temperature, and away from direct sunlight.
