We started Understory Organics with one mission: to create life-enriching products that are healthy, nutritious, and delicious—designed for focus, energy, and well-being.

It all began when Lex, a lifelong coffee lover, suddenly couldn’t tolerate it anymore. His favorite drink burned his stomach, made his heart jitter, and left him exhausted within hours. Instead of fueling his day, it drained his energy.

Determined to find a better alternative, I dove deep into research and experimentation in our tiny kitchen. I had always known about the powerful benefits of mushrooms—thanks to my mother, who has made them part of her daily routine for years. My research led me back to Traditional Chinese Medicine, which has used these adaptogenic mushrooms for thousands of years to heal, energize, improve focus, and support well-being.

That’s how Understory Organic was born—out of love, curiosity, and a deep belief in the power of nutrition.

Our first blend, Understory Original Funguy Latte, was crafted for Lex. Understory Unconditional Love was inspired by my mother. We don’t just create products; we craft them with the highest standards because our loved ones drink them too.

We feel privileged to share our love for ancient food wisdom and holistic well-being. From our home in Amsterdam to communities worldwide, we hope to energize people through nutrition—helping them feel their best, naturally.

With much love and gratitude,

Addy and Lex
