Some of the most extraordinary things on earth exist beneath the surface. Carlsbad Caverns taught us that. This cup was built on the same idea.

Broken Road Signature Carlsbad Caverns is a functional mushroom coffee that delivers everything you expect from a great medium roast — rich, bold, and deeply satisfying — with the added benefit of Lion's Mane and Chaga mushrooms, two of nature's most respected adaptogenic ingredients. Crafted with the same intention that defines every coffee in the National Parks Series.

A Brazil and Mexico blend forms the foundation — familiar, full-bodied, and naturally smooth. The medium roast brings out a rich, grounded character that pairs seamlessly with the earthy, nutty depth the mushrooms contribute. Lion's Mane, long celebrated in traditional wellness practices for its ability to support focus and mental clarity, works quietly beneath the surface. Chaga, prized for centuries for its adaptogenic properties and immune support, adds an earthy complexity that feels purposeful rather than intrusive. Together they elevate a great cup of coffee into a more intentional morning ritual — without ever getting in the way of the flavor.

How to Brew Carlsbad Caverns Functional mushroom coffee brews just like your favorite medium roast — no special equipment required. For drip, use a 1:15 ratio at 200°F for a clean, full-bodied cup that lets both the coffee and mushroom notes express themselves fully. French press at a 1:12 ratio deepens the earthy, nutty complexity and produces a richer, more grounded brew. For pour over, a medium grind at 1:16 keeps the cup balanced and clean. Like all Broken Road coffees, Carlsbad Caverns is free from mycotoxins, mold, yeast, and heavy metals — so what you're putting in your body is as clean as what's going in your cup.

What lies beneath the surface is always worth discovering.
