This Organic Red Velvet Latte is a decadent hot chocolate infused with Chaga & Davidson Plum that will pick you up and provide you with pure, clean energy. Enjoy the slightly tart, sweet and earthy flavours and add your choice of milk to get a supremely creamy and delicious mushroom drink.
Davidson Plum
The Davidson Plum has long been a traditional “bush tucker” for the Indigenous Australians. It has powerful antioxidant effects and it is also packed full of essential vitamins and minerals. This beautiful crimson coloured fruit is native to the tropical rainforests of Australia [1].
Chaga
"Diamond of the forest", "nature's black gold", "the gift from god"... just a few of the names Chaga goes. Chaga only grows from birch trees in cooler climates and its appearance is commonly compared to a lump of charcoal but boasts a deep golden colour inside. Chaga contains many bioactive compounds such as inotodiol and betulin. It is one of the most highly regarded fungi and has been traditionally used in many baltic countries for hundreds of years. [2]

Add a tree to your order for just $3 here. Life Cykel Initiated the Grow & Gift a Tree Program in September 2020 allowing customers to add a tree to their order. The trees will be gifted to local communities and organisations that will benefit from them.
We are able to commence this project thanks to our long standing relationship with Byron Bay Herb Nursery, a non for profit charity that offers employment opportunities for individuals living with a disability. The money given by our customers goes straight to the Byron Bay Herb Nursery to help facilitate growing the trees.
