Australian-inspired speciality coffee roaster, Bluestone Lane, has partnered with Laird Superfood to launch two new functional iced coffee drinks across its more than 50 US café locations.

The new offerings – Laird Superfood Latte and Laird Superfood Mocha – combine espresso with Laird Superfood’s mushroom-infused creamers.
The drinks feature organic extracts of chaga, lion’s mane, maitake and cordyceps mushrooms, which are marketed to support stress defense, cognition, immune function and energy, respectively.
Bluestone Lane plans to expand the collaboration this fall with additional hot beverages using Laird Superfood Creamer with functional mushrooms.
Andy Stone, chief brand and culture officer at Bluestone Lane, said: "...we've developed two delicious new drinks using Laird Superfood's performance creamers – a powerful blend of functional mushrooms designed to fuel both body and mind. This partnership brings together shared values of wellness, innovation and living with intent."
Jason Vieth, CEO of Laird Superfood, added: "Partnering with Bluestone Lane is a natural extension of our mission to make functional, plant-based energy accessible in everyday moments. By aligning our premium, functional mushroom creamers with Bluestone Lane's commitment to quality coffee culture, we're offering customers a delicious way to fuel their day with real, nourishing ingredients that have functional benefits for the mind, body and overall well-being."
The Laird Superfood Latte and Mocha are now available at Bluestone Lane cafés nationwide, priced at $7.45 and $7.95.
