Why we use Cayenne Pepper in our Earthrise blends

When you think of a warm, comforting cup of Earthrise, you probably imagine the rich taste of organic cacao and the smooth benefits of functional mushrooms. But there’s another ingredient working quietly in the background to supercharge your experience: cayenne pepper. Just a tiny pinch makes a big difference. Here’s why we add it, and why your body loves it.

Cayenne Pepper boosts circulation

Cayenne pepper has been used in traditional medicine for centuries to improve blood flow. Better circulation means nutrients and oxygen get delivered more efficiently throughout your body. For you, that translates into cleaner, sustained energy... the kind that pairs perfectly with Earthrise’s coffee-free mushroom blend.

A natural metabolism supporter

Research shows that capsaicin (the active compound in cayenne) can help support metabolism and encourage your body’s natural energy systems. Instead of the caffeine spikes and crashes you get from coffee, cayenne works in harmony with our mushrooms and cacao to keep your body moving steadily all day.

Enhances nutrient absorption

One of cayenne’s hidden superpowers is helping your body absorb nutrients more effectively. That means the benefits of Lion’s Mane, Reishi, and other adaptogenic mushrooms in Earthrise don’t just pass through, your body can actually use them more efficiently.

Warming, comforting flavour

It’s not just about health. That subtle warmth at the back of your throat? That’s cayenne pepper. It rounds out the rich chocolatey taste of cacao and makes every sip more grounding and satisfying. It’s not spicy, it’s balanced, subtle and adds a gentle kick that keeps you coming back.

A natural detox ally

Cayenne pepper is often linked to detox and digestive health, helping stimulate digestion and supporting your body’s natural cleansing processes. Combined with our organic ingredients, it helps create a daily ritual that feels as good as it tastes.

At Earthrise, every ingredient has a purpose. Cayenne pepper isn’t there for shock value, it’s there because it helps your body absorb nutrients, supports natural energy, and adds a comforting warmth to your cup. It’s a small detail that makes a big difference.

Experience the difference yourself.
