TURMERIC + LIONS MANE

Nature’s Harvest combines turmeric with Lion’s Mane to create a warming, caffeine-free beverage ritual that brings together golden spices and concentrated mushroom extract in one smooth latte style drink.

Turmeric naturally contains curcumin, the golden compound studied for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Lion’s Mane contains naturally occurring mushroom compounds such as beta-glucans and polysaccharides.

In simple terms, polysaccharides are natural complex carbohydrates found in plants, mushrooms, and other wholefoods. Beta-glucans are a special type of polysaccharide found in mushrooms, oats, barley, and some other foods. Think of them as natural fibres that form part of the mushroom’s structure.

These compounds are studied for their role in supporting everyday wellbeing, including gut health, immune system function, and the body’s natural defence processes. In mushrooms, they are one reason concentrated extracts are often used instead of ordinary mushroom powder.

By combining turmeric with Lion’s Mane, this blend gives you the comfort of a golden turmeric latte with the added goodness of a traditional functional mushroom, without coffee, caffeine, or added sugar.

Lion’s Mane is an edible functional mushroom traditionally used to support mental clarity, focus, and overall wellbeing. It has become popular in modern wellness routines because it contains naturally occurring compounds such as beta-glucans and other mushroom polysaccharides.

Lion’s Mane has also been studied for its potential role in cognitive function, mood, and nervous system support, although research is still developing and results can vary from person to person.

In Nature’s Harvest Turmeric + Lion’s Mane, we pair concentrated Lion’s Mane extract with turmeric, warming spices, and no added sugar to create a smooth, caffeine-free drink that can be enjoyed as part of your daily ritual.

No, Turmeric + Lion’s Mane does not taste like mushroom soup or savoury broth. It tastes very similar to our Turmeric Latte Mix Chilli Fre, smooth, golden, gently spiced, and café-style.

The concentrated Lion’s Mane extract is blended into our warming turmeric latte base, so the flavour is led by turmeric, ginger, Ceylon cinnamon, cardamom, vanilla, black pepper, and nutmeg rather than mushroom.

Yes, many Nature’s Harvest blends can be enjoyed as a coffee alternative, especially if you are looking for a comforting café style drink without coffee. Our Turmeric Latte Mix, Turmeric Latte Mix Chilli Free, Turmeric + Lion’s Mane, and Shroom Magic Mix contain no coffee and no caffeine, making them beautiful options for a naturally caffeine-free daily ritual, without relying on coffee or stimulants.

Some Nature’s Harvest blends contain wholefood ingredients with naturally occurring caffeine, such as matcha or cacao. For example, Matcha contains naturally occurring caffeine and is generally higher in caffeine than cacao. Cocoa Crave Mix contains cacao, which usually provides a much gentler amount of naturally occurring caffeine.

As a practical comparison:

Product or ingredient Approx. naturally occurring caffeineTurmeric Latte Mix 0mg Turmeric Latte Mix Chilli Free 0mg Turmeric + Lion’s Mane 0mg Shroom Magic Mix 0mg Cocoa Crave Mix Approx. 4–8mg per 4g serve, based on 46% cacao Matcha blend Approx. 19–44mg per serve, based on 1g matcha

So, if you want a completely caffeine-free coffee alternative, choose one of our turmeric or mushroom based blends with no matcha or cacao. If you are happy with a small amount of naturally occurring caffeine, cacao-based blends such as Cocoa Crave Mix may still be a gentler option than matcha. Always check the individual product label for the full ingredient list and caffeine information.

Nature’s Harvest leaves sugar out so you stay in control of how sweet your turmeric latte is. Many latte powders are bulked out with sugar, but our blend focuses on clean, concentrated, organic-grown wholefood spices.

This reflects the care behind A Whole Lotta Goodness®. Nature’s Harvest was founded by Hament, a former practising pharmacist, and our product education is supported by Taylor, our naturopath, nutritionist, and business partner. Together, that background guides our focus on thoughtful formulation, transparent ingredients, and customer education, because caring for customers means giving them cleaner choices, not hiding sugar in the blend.

Reducing added sugar can support everyday wellbeing by helping reduce excess energy intake and supporting healthy weight management. It can also help avoid unnecessary blood sugar and insulin spikes from sweetened drinks, which is especially relevant if you enjoy your turmeric latte at night as a calming, caffeine-free evening ritual.

Yes, Turmeric + Lion’s Mane contains no caffeine, so it can be enjoyed at night if it suits your routine. Because it has no added sugar, you can also choose whether to keep it unsweetened or add only the level of sweetness you prefer.

We use Ceylon cinnamon, also known as “true cinnamon,” because it has a softer, sweeter, more delicate flavour than common Cassia cinnamon. This helps create a smoother, more balanced latte without overpowering the turmeric, ginger, cardamom, vanilla, and chilli.

Ceylon cinnamon is also naturally much lower in coumarin, a plant compound found in higher levels in Cassia cinnamon. While Cassia is widely used because it is cheaper and stronger tasting, regular high intake of coumarin may place extra strain on the liver, which is why Ceylon cinnamon is considered the more thoughtful choice for an everyday beverage blend.

At Nature’s Harvest, we choose Ceylon cinnamon over cheaper Cassia because it better reflects A Whole Lotta Goodness®: premium flavour, cleaner formulation, and careful ingredient choices for customers who may enjoy our blends regularly.

Forest garden style farming is a way of growing crops within a diverse, layered ecosystem, rather than relying on chemical-heavy monocropping. Instead of one crop growing alone in exposed fields, forest gardens can include trees, shade plants, spices, fruits, and other crops growing together in a more natural system.

For Nature’s Harvest, supporting forest garden style farming helps encourage biodiversity, healthier soils, natural shade, and more resilient farming communities. It reflects our belief in A Whole Lotta Goodness® — good for you, good for the community, and good for the planet.

Nature’s Harvest uses concentrated mushroom extracts because functional mushrooms are traditionally prepared with hot water, similar to making a tea. This process is also known as hot water extraction.

Mushrooms have natural chitin cell walls, which humans do not digest easily. Hot water extraction helps break down these tough cell walls and concentrates naturally occurring mushroom compounds such as beta-glucans and polysaccharides.

This means you can enjoy Nature’s Harvest mushroom blends in warm drinks, smoothies, iced lattes, or recipes. Because the mushroom ingredient has already been hot water extracted, you do not need to boil it like a traditional mushroom tea before using it in a cold drink.

We choose concentrated mushroom extracts instead of ordinary mushroom powder because they allow us to create a cleaner, more purposeful blend with less bulk and better usability in everyday drinks.

Yes, it may be easier to first place a small amount of liquid into your cup/glass and mix the powder well, then top off with the remaining liquid.

Nature’s Harvest sources premium wholefood spices with a focus on quality, transparency, and responsible farming. Our turmeric is ethically sourced from Sri Lanka through organic farm partnerships that support forest garden-style agriculture.

Forest garden farming grows crops within a more diverse, layered ecosystem rather than chemical heavy monocropping. This approach encourages biodiversity, healthier soils, natural shade, and more resilient farming communities, reflecting our commitment to A Whole Lotta Goodness®: good for you, good for the community, and good for the planet.

Yes, Nature’s Harvest Turmeric Latte Mix contains naturally occurring curcumin from turmeric. Curcumin is the golden compound in turmeric that has been studied for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Our high quality Organic Turmeric contains 5% Curcumin (about double the amount of curcumin found in most store-bought turmeric). Most culinary grade Turmeric will contain 2% to 3% curcumin. 

Turmeric contains bioactive compounds and curcumin is one of the most researched for its anti-inflammatory properties.Turmeric is the plant with the largest amount of naturally occurring curcumin.

Nature’s Harvest ingredients are finely ground to create a smoother café style drink. Ordinary culinary grade spices are usually coarser because they are designed for cooking, not sipping in a latte, smoothie, or warm drink.

Fine grinding is more expensive, but it helps reduce the gritty texture often found when using regular cooking spices in beverages. This means Nature’s Harvest blends mix more smoothly into milk, plant-based milk, smoothies, porridge, and recipes, while still delivering clean, concentrated wholefood ingredients.

No, Nature’s Harvest blends are not coffee products. Our blends contain no coffee and most are naturally caffeine-free, making them a beautiful option for anyone looking for a warming café style drink without coffee.

Some blends may contain ingredients with naturally occurring caffeine, such as matcha, cacao, or black tea. For example, Matcha and Cocoa Crave Mix contain naturally occurring caffeine from their wholefood ingredients. Always check the individual product label for the full ingredient list and caffeine information.

Black pepper is included because it contains piperine, a natural compound commonly paired with turmeric to support curcumin absorption. In a human study, piperine increased curcumin bioavailability by up to 2000%, or around 20-fold.

That matters because curcumin, the golden compound found in turmeric, is not easily absorbed by the body on its own. Nature’s Harvest Turmeric Latte Mix includes black pepper as part of a balanced wholefood spice blend, alongside turmeric, ginger, Ceylon cinnamon, cardamom, vanilla, and a touch of chilli. Black pepper also adds a subtle warmth that rounds out the flavour and helps create a smooth, aromatic café-style turmeric latte.

60% of our Turmeric Latte Mix is made from high quality, finely ground turmeric containing 5% curcumin. Each 2g serve contains approximately:1200mg of Turmeric and 60mg of Curcumin. This makes our blend naturally rich in turmeric and curcumin, while still tasting smooth and balanced.

Nature’s Harvest blends can be enjoyed at different times of day, depending on whether the product contains naturally occurring caffeine.

Our caffeine-free blends, such as Turmeric Latte Mix, Turmeric Latte Mix Chilli Free, Turmeric + Lion’s Mane, and Shroom Magic Mix, can be enjoyed morning, afternoon, or evening. Many customers love them as a warming coffee alternative or a calming night time ritual.

Blends that contain naturally occurring caffeine, such as those with matcha, are generally best enjoyed earlier in the day. Caffeine can stay in the body for many hours. As a simple guide, if caffeine has a half-life of around 5–6 hours, about half may still be in your system after 5–6 hours, and about a quarter may still remain after 10–12 hours.

This matters because caffeine can make it harder to fall asleep and may affect sleep quality, including deep sleep. For customers who are sensitive to caffeine or focused on sleep, it is best to enjoy caffeinated blends in the morning or early afternoon and choose caffeine free Nature’s Harvest blends any time of day.
