Discover the Art of Elixir Crafting

Elixirs are one of our favourite ways to share the power of plant medicine. Intentionally crafted by herbalists, you can think of these craveable beverages as functional herbal lattes made to support your everyday wellness needs. Packed with organic herbs, superfoods and mushrooms, our Elixirs make it easy to harness the power of plant medicine without the refined sugar, fillers, or artificial ingredients often found in other supplements. Re-connect with what nature has to offer in a delicious, comforting and accessible way through mastering the art of Elixir crafting.

 

Meet Our Elixirs

5 Mushroom Chocolate

Not your average hot chocolate, our 5 Mushroom Chocolate Elixir features Chaga, Cordyceps, Lion’s Mane, Reishi and Turkey Tail. These powerful functional mushrooms work together to support whole-body balance and a grounded body and mind. Smooth and velvety, this Elixir is packed with heirloom Cacao, an antioxidant-rich superfood that activates feel-good neurotransmitters to uplift our mood in stressful times. 

Golden Mylk

Warming and restorative, Golden Mylk Elixir features Turmeric, Ashwagandha and Turkey Tail. Ashwagandha is an adaptogen that helps to regulate stress response, promoting a calm body and mind. Turkey Tail contains prebiotic properties that feed good bacteria and promote balance within the gut microbiome, while Turmeric eases inflammation and nurtures the digestive tract. 

Matcha Mind

Our Matcha Mind Elixir is powered by mind and mood enhancing superfoods like Matcha, Lion’s Mane and Moringa. These herbal allies work to improve cognitive function, focus and mental clarity, giving the body a gentle boost of energy without the crash. 

Activate

Our Activate Elixir features a rich blend of mushrooms and herbs to ignite your senses and restore energy. Reishi and Chaga provide valuable antioxidants and grounding properties while also fortifying the immune system. Lucuma is also antioxidant-rich while Maca and Cacao support energy and an uplifted mood. 

Kickstart

Saying goodbye to coffee? Our Kickstart Elixir is the quintessential coffee substitute. Roasted Yerba Mate, Cacao and Maca provide a sustainable energy boost to the body and mind. Robust and earthy, Chaga and Roasted Dandelion Root support detoxification and aid in protecting the body from free radical damage. 

 

Why Use Cacao?

Known as the nectar of the gods, Cacao is included in many of our Elixirs for multiple reasons. It energizes and uplifts while also acting as a delivery system for the other herbs, superfoods and mushrooms within the Elixir formula. As a circulatory stimulant, Cacao opens the heart and the blood vessels, helping to accelerate the absorption of nutrients. This helpful ingredient allows the bioactive compounds within your herbs to make their way through the body and spread their medicinal properties. 

 

How to Elevate Your Elixir

To master the art of Elixir crafting at home, try incorporating our Artisan Teas, Mushroom Powders or Tincture Blends into your home Elixir creations. Blending these together creates tasty herbal lattes that are packed with nourishing herbs and superfoods. 

Artisan Teas

Each Artisan Tea blend is formulated by Clinical Herbalists. These loose-leaf, organic teas feature organic and wild-harvested herbs that can enhance your Elixir with more nourishing benefits. Discover our favourite Tea and Elixir pairings here. 

Mushroom Powders

Add a functional boost to your Elixir with our water-soluble Concentrated Mushroom Powders. They’re made with 100% fruiting body mushrooms at potent extraction ratios. 

Tincture Blends

Looking to add a specific benefit to your Elixir? Try adding a dropperful of a Tincture Blend. Find support for immunity, digestion, stress relief and everything in between. 

Fat Source

When crafting Elixirs, it’s important to always include a source of fat. Fats create deeper, more even absorption of nutritive compounds by slowing digestion. Try including coconut oil, grass-fed butter, ghee, tahini, or nut butter to your next Elixir creation.
