Cordyceps-Infused Coffees

HBO & Four Sigmatic Collaborated on an Organic High Caf Ground Coffee

In The Last of Us, a mutated Cordyceps variant begins infecting humans, and in preparation for the release of the second season of the post-apocalyptic HBO series, Four Sigmatic launched a limited-edition Organic High Caf Ground Coffee.

The Last Of Us Organic High Caf Ground Coffee supports mental clarity and energy with cordyceps and lion’s mane mushrooms, Vitamin B12, and coffee bean extract. Taste-wise, the dark roast delivers notes of dark chocolate as part of the coffee experience centered on boosting focus and energy, and lifting moods.

With this product, Four Sigmatic, the official coffee sponsor of HBO Original The Last of Us, created a blend "infected with energy" to win over fans and coffee lovers alike.
