Now made in California, this coffee alternative combines cacao, ashwagandha, lion’s mane, chicory and dandelion roots and more to help you feel your best inside and out. But don’t expect a coffee flavor; this delicious blend borders between espresso and cocoa. (Our editor promptly recommended this drink to friends and family as soon as she took her first sip.) We recommend drinking this iced, or adding just a touch more hot water for the perfect cup! A fifth of the caffeine, but allll the flavors and benefits.
