Upraising

Upraising Overview

Upraising offers a premium range of functional drinks enriched with high-quality adaptogenic mushrooms, nootropics, and plant extracts. Launched in November 2022, the brand set out with a clear mission: to provide European consumers with healthy alternatives to traditional coffee by combining Colombian Arabica with natural ingredients renowned for their physical and mental performance benefits.

Unlike regular coffee, which often causes jitters and cortisol spikes, Upraising's formulas deliver sustained energy, sharper focus, and long-lasting mental well-being without the unwanted side effects.

Origins & Vision

Upraising was co-founded by entrepreneur Guy Morley, who spotted a gap in the European functional beverage market. Inspired by trends in the US and Finland, the brand adapted the concept for European consumers, prioritizing organic, fair-trade coffee and mushrooms extracted using innovative processes.

The brand's philosophy is built on transparency, premium quality, and the complete absence of fillers, artificial flavors, or sweeteners. Each formula is designed to target specific goals: focus, stress management, energy boosts, or mood enhancement.

Product Ranges & Specialties

The Upraising lineup features functional ground coffees and enriched instant powders. The functional mushrooms used—Lion's Mane, Reishi, and Chaga—are sourced from Finland and derived from 100% fruiting bodies, using ultrasonic extraction to guarantee maximum efficacy.

Among the adaptogens and nootropics included are Peruvian maca for energy and hormonal balance, Rhodiola Rosea for stress resilience, and L-Theanine and Ashwagandha for mental relaxation.

The range also includes Full Color, a yerba mate-based coffee alternative known for its calming effect and natural metabolism support. This super-blend contains 65 mg of caffeine per serving (half that of a filter coffee), paired with extracts of maca, Lion's Mane, Chaga, Rhodiola, and ginger for smooth energy and enhanced mental clarity.

Upraising Products

Flow State (Ground Coffee with Lion's Mane)

A 100% specialty Colombian Arabica with a medium roast, enriched with Lion's Mane to promote focus, memory, and cognitive clarity. Ideal for filter, immersion, or pour-over brewing methods, this coffee delivers a balanced, smooth profile without excessive bitterness.

The mushrooms and nootropics won't alter the coffee's taste, helping you maintain an optimal flow state during work or study sessions.

Bright Mood (Ground Coffee with Reishi & L-Theanine)

Colombian Arabica paired with Reishi mushroom, L-Theanine, and Ashwagandha to lower stress, ease tension, and improve mood. This formula supports a natural approach to emotional well-being while delivering a rich, flavorful coffee experience.

Full Color (Yerba Mate Instant Super-Blend)

A complete coffee alternative, Full Color combines yerba mate, maca, Lion's Mane, Chaga, Rhodiola Rosea, and ginger. Yerba mate provides calm alertness and supports the natural production of GLP-1, which is beneficial for regulating appetite and metabolism.

Instant preparation: mix one serving (4 g) in 250 ml of hot water, with the option to add milk or Sidekick, the brand's energizing creamer. Users report stable energy without crashes or jitters, alongside a slightly bitter, herbaceous taste with a hint of ginger.

Sidekick (MCT & Coconut Milk Energizing Creamer)

A creamy powder made from coconut milk and MCT oil (medium-chain triglycerides), designed to enrich coffees, smoothies, or hot drinks. Free from fillers and added sugars, Sidekick delivers a velvety texture, long-lasting energy support, and promotes mental clarity thanks to the MCTs.

Compatible with all Upraising formulas, this creamer perfectly complements Full Color or their functional coffees.

Flow State+ (Concentrated Mushroom Extract Powder)

A concentrated functional mushroom extract powder that mixes into any drink, smoothie, or recipe. Ideal for those who prefer their own coffee or tea, this formula lets you enjoy the benefits of adaptogenic mushrooms without changing your daily habits.

Quality & Certifications

Upraising is committed to a 100% simple ingredient list policy: zero fillers, artificial ingredients, flavors, or sweeteners. The Arabica coffee is sourced from a small Colombian farming cooperative called Orquídea, located in the Tolima and Huila regions.

The functional mushrooms are sourced from Finland with full traceability from spore to shipping. They undergo ultrasonic extraction and are third-party lab tested, ensuring optimal ratios and concentrations of active compounds for maximum effectiveness.

How to Take Upraising Supplements?

The ground coffees can be prepared using filter, immersion, or pour-over methods, with a recommended ratio to ensure great taste and functional benefits. Full Color is perfect as a morning ritual or afternoon boost—simply dissolve a serving in hot water with no complex preparation required.

Users love the convenience and the ability to stack multiple Upraising products in one drink to maximize benefits. The taste remains balanced and pleasant, while the effects manifest as calm alertness, better stress management, and sustained energy throughout the day.

In Summary
