Coffee + Collagen

The Santos Brazilian Arabica coffee beans are the most renowned coffee beans in Brazil and they’re considered a direct descendant of the original coffee plants imported into Brazil.

We use high-grade organic coffee beans which imparts a fuller and fruitier flavour.

These beans have gone through a natural, unwashed process which allows fermentation of the pulp on the bean during drying and we source batches with low mycotoxins.

Our Santos Brazilian coffee has a nutty, mellow, bittersweet, chocolaty roasted flavour with low acidity - simply perfect for our Coffee + Collagen. With naturally present nootropic caffeine and adaptogenic ashwagandha Coffee + Collagen helps bring focus and energy to your day.

Collagen provides strength and integrity to the structural protein matrix found in skin, bones, ligaments, tendons and cartilage.

Collagen loss is a natural part of ageing which occurs from our 30’s and increase as we grow older. Our hydrolysed collagen peptides are a specific size (under 5000DA’s) for maximum absorption and efficient integration into targeted cells.

Sourced from grass-fed herds in the EU and found pre-blended in our delicious brews of Coffee + Collagen, Matcha + Collagen and Cacao + Collagen or as our odourless, tasteless, highly dissolvable True Collagen to add to your own drinks.

Whereas cocoa is made using a fermentation process drying, roasting and then milling cacao beans into a fine powder - raw cacao is made from unprocessed and unroasted cacao powder.

This gives raw cacao a subtle chocolate flavour and an improved nutrition profile since many of the natural phytonutrients, enzymes and vitamins found naturally in the cacao bean may be lost during the roasting process.

You’ll find organic raw cacao in our Cacao + Collagen and Cacao + Reishi where it imparts a rich, smooth chocolate flavour.

Also known as Indian ginseng this botanical is native to North Africa and India. It has been used for over 3000 years as one of the most important herbs in Ayurvedic medicine.

The Sanskrit translation of ashwagandha is ‘smell of the horse’ which refers to its ancient belief of supporting energy, endurance and strength.

In the West, ashwagandha is known as an adaptogen which helps build resilience to stress. These benefits are thought to be attributed to bioactive compounds naturally present in ashwagandha called withanolides.

As for taste, ashwagandha has a sweet, nutty, malty taste which adds a real comfort factor. It is one of our favourites and you can find organic ashwagandha in our Coffee + Collagen, Cacao + Collagen and Cacao + Reishi blends.

Chicory root has been used as far back as Ancient Rome for its wealth of health benefits. Once roasted the root takes on a dark, intense and roasted flavour which compliments and naturally enhances the flavour of ingredients such as coffee and cacao.

Chicory root has a very high concentration of a soluble dietary fibre called inulin, (one of the highest known in plants), which helps support digestive function, gut microbiome and contributes to a feeling of fullness.

Our organic roasted chicory root with its slightly bitter and nutty flavour is a real hero ingredient in Coffee + Collagen and Cacao + Collagen.

Originating in Africa, the baobab tree produces a hard fruit with a shell like coconut which is full of nutritious pulp. Baobab is an exceptional unique fruit with the ability to naturally dehydrate while still on the branch.

Requiring no heat or pasteurisation its properties remain intact meaning baobab powder is unusually nutrient dense, bursting with vitamin C (three times that of an orange) and nearly 50% fibre.

Our organic baobab has a delicate slightly sweet and tangy flavour and adds a creamy texture to our Coffee + Collagen, Cacao + Collagen and Cacao + Reishi
