RYZE is the best-known mushroom coffee, so it's the one most people compare us against. This page lines up JostArriba, RYZE and two other popular brands on the things you can actually check: what's on the label, how much of each ingredient you get, how much caffeine is in a cup, whether it dissolves, how it tastes and what each serving costs. Where a brand doesn't disclose something, we say so rather than guess.
The short version
- Pick JostArriba if you want every active ingredient listed in milligrams, standardized fruiting-body extracts, L-theanine with your caffeine, and a cup that tastes like plain coffee with nothing left at the bottom.
- Pick RYZE if lowest cost per cup and lower caffeine matter most and you don't need per-ingredient doses.
- Four Sigmatic and Everyday Dose sit in between, with partial dose disclosure.
Side by side: what's in each cup
JostArriba: lion's mane and reishi fruiting-body extracts (100 mg each), KSM-66 ashwagandha 200 mg, Suntheanine L-theanine 150 mg and cognatiQ coffee fruit extract 100 mg. Standardized at greater than 10:1. About 70 mg caffeine. $2.43 to $3.75 a serving.
RYZE: a 2 g blend of six mushrooms with no per-species amounts (Mushroom Atlas), plus a prebiotic fiber blend. Extract strength not disclosed. About 48 mg caffeine (RYZE). $1.20 to $1.50 a serving (Coffee Studies).

Ingredients, doses and solubility
The biggest difference is disclosure. JostArriba lists every active ingredient by name and milligram amount on the Supplement Facts panel. RYZE names six mushrooms but gives one total for the blend, so you can't tell how much lion's mane is in a cup. Studies use specific amounts of specific species, so that matters.
- Coffee fruit extract, 100 mg. A 2013 study measured higher plasma BDNF after a single 100 mg dose.
- L-theanine, 150 mg. Trials pairing L-theanine with caffeine found better attention and alertness than caffeine alone (Owen 2008; Giesbrecht 2010).
- KSM-66 ashwagandha, 200 mg. The KSM-66 trial used 600 mg a day and reported lower stress scores and cortisol. Three cups match that amount.
Many mushroom coffees use ground mushroom powder, which is mostly fiber and settles as sludge. JostArriba's extracts dissolve fully, so the cup stays clear to the bottom.
Caffeine and taste
At about 70 mg, JostArriba has more caffeine than RYZE (about 48 mg), Four Sigmatic (50 mg) or Everyday Dose Mild (45 mg), and less than a typical brewed cup. We pair it with 150 mg of L-theanine, which research links with smoother alertness (Haskell 2008). If you want the lowest caffeine possible, RYZE or Everyday Dose Mild are lower. The FDA cites 400 mg a day as an amount not generally associated with negative effects for most adults.
JostArriba is made with organic, fair-trade Colombian coffee and tastes like coffee, not mushrooms. Taste is personal, so the 8-serving trial pack is the cheapest way to compare for yourself.
Price per serving
We'll be straight: JostArriba costs more per cup. The 42-serving box is $119.99 ($2.86 a serving) and the 8-serving trial pack is $29.99 ($3.75). Subscribing takes 15% off. RYZE is about $1.50 a serving.
The difference comes from what's inside: KSM-66, Suntheanine, cognatiQ and standardized fruiting-body extracts are branded, studied ingredients, and they cost more than an undisclosed blend.
Bottom line
If you want to know exactly what you're drinking and how much of it, JostArriba is the most transparent option in this group. If price per cup is the deciding factor, RYZE is cheaper. Either way, read the label first.
