About Us
About us
We are a mixed family from Germany and the United States who met in Vietnam and fell in love in Paris. We lived in Germany for seven years, then moved to New Mexico, and finally back to Oregon.
Maybe it was all the travel, becoming parents, or just our shared love of a good drink, but somewhere along the way, we realized we needed something better than a third cup of coffee that left us jittery and dehydrated.
When close friends introduced us to mushroom-based teas and coffees, we were hooked on the idea — but shocked by the prices. So we set out to create something better: richer in flavor, packed with real nutrition, and made to be accessible.
We combined Roya’s background in trade marketing for a leading German soda brand with Jon’s passion for sustainability, research, food, and design. Together, we founded Oregon Mushroom Growers to share our love for healthier, functional drinks with our community.
At our core, we believe in making the world a better place by starting with ourselves — by treating people the way we want to be treated and preserving the earth for our children’s children.
Thanks for stopping by and we hope to see you in person at any of our farmer’s markets throughout Salem!
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this keep me up at night?
A: Our Mushroom Chai has 1/6th the amount of caffeine as coffee, which comes mostly from the cacao powder. However cacao has ten times more Theobromine than it does caffeine, which boosts both mood and alertness with far fewer side effects than caffeine. Meaning no jitters and sleepless nights.
Q: Why is it so chunky? What’s that at the bottom of the cup?
A: We buy all the ingredients from organic wholesalers and mix them ourselves. Meaning not all the ingredients easily dissolve in hot water. You can help it dissolve by stirring often, or simply add more hot water at the end to drink up the rest of the valuable nutrients and minerals. Or, you can just leave the dregs for mother nature.
Q: What are those floating white pieces?
A: That’s the coconut milk powder, an ingredient that likes to stick together – defying all our attempts at pestling it. Is pestling even a word?
Q: Where do you get your ingredients, and are they organic?
A: We source our ingredients from an organic wholesaler out of California, who work directly with their suppliers from all over the world to ensure they are 100% organic and top quality. Even though our ingredients are almost all organic, we haven’t paid for an organic label, yet.
Q: Why is it so expensive?
A: Because we use as many high-quality organic ingredients as possible, the price is naturally higher. Our functional mushroom blend is the bulk of the price, and we use several times more mushrooms per serving than any of our competitors – at much less of a price..
Q: Can I buy in bulk or only in 1 or 5 oz. bags?
A: We offer wholesale pricing. Contact us directly at oregonmushroomgrowers@gmail.com and we can work something out :).
