Awaken Your Day with Lion’s Mane Coffee
Kiwis love a good brew. But if your morning coffee spikes and crashes, it isn’t supporting the day you’re trying to build. Lion Sip — our Lion’s Mane coffee — is a simple ritual designed in Aotearoa to support focus and balanced energy without the wired, jittery feel.
What is Lion’s Mane (and why NZ is into it)
Lion’s Mane is a culinary/functional mushroom used in traditional food cultures. In everyday terms: people choose it to support clarity, focus, and a steady groove. No wild promises — just a ritual that helps you show up.
• Taste: Smooth coffee flavour (no “mushroomy” aftertaste).
• Routine-friendly: Brew it like your usual.
• NZ vibes: Works with the way we live — early surfs, school runs, morning mahi.
From “just coffee” to a morning ritual
A ritual isn’t perfection — it’s repetition. Try this 5-minute flow:
-
Kettle on, phone down. Pick one intention: focus, calm, or presence.
-
Brew Lion Sip your favourite way.
-
Breathe: 5 slow breaths while it steeps.
-
First sip, first step: Write the one thing you’ll move today.
-
Repeat daily: same time, same chair.
