Parisian cafés have their obsessions: matcha, pink lattes, oat milk cappuccinos. But this autumn, a new obsession is shaking up the capital’s habits, and it is infused with magic. In Los Angeles, Oprah considers them her balancing ritual, Gwyneth slips them into her bag like others take a vitamin, and Madonna sees them as an elixir of longevity. Them? Adaptogenic mushrooms, of course. And in Paris, they can now be enjoyed in their chicest form: Adaptogen Coffee.
“The result of this coffee is a smooth, enveloping, almost sensory drink. A delicate hazelnut flavour, a velvety texture, and that indefinable little something… the mushroom effect.”
Raphaël Simon
Forget esoteric potions and hard-to-find powders: at Mabel, the Danish founder has transformed functional mushrooms into a drink that is as minimalist as it is cutting-edge. The Adaptogen Coffee, made with extracts of lion’s mane and cordyceps sinensis, promises to be the season’s new signature latte. All blended with a plant-based rice and soy drink, enriched with hydrolysed marine collagen and glycine. Paris has never tasted a coffee like this.
The result: a velvety, comforting brew with a subtle aromatic depth; a coffee that stimulates cognition, soothes the mood, aids recovery, and is in keeping with the fashionable better ageing trend.
