Mesquite is a naturally caffeine free, superfood alternative to your daily cup of coffee, rich in antioxidants, minerals and vitamins that boost immunity and aid in the regulation of stress hormones. The dark, caramel flavor of our roasted mesquite can be enjoyed as a hot or cold beverage throughout the day.
Our supplier sources only the finest, sustainable mesquite pods wild-harvested from the Karoo, roast and toast them to perfection and then grind them into a product suitable for all coffee extraction methods. Small batch. Local. With love.

Hand-foraged mesquite pods are small-batch dark-roasted and stone-milled, yielding a rich, chocolate-brown grind with hints of roasted nuts, cacao and caramel. Because mesquite contains zero caffeine, you get gentle, sustained vitality without the adrenal spike or afternoon crash that hits many coffee drinkers when caffeine surges across the blood-brain barrier.
Why no crash? Traditional coffee pushes caffeine molecules through the blood-brain barrier for an instant jolt—then the body scrambles to re-balance, often leaving you shaky or fatigued. Mesquite’s slow-release carbohydrates and minerals feed your cells steadily, so energy and focus stay balanced.

More and more wellness-seekers are swapping conventional coffee for nutrient-dense superfoods. Two delicious options you’ll also find in our shop are:
Ceremonial Grade Cacao – Traditionally enjoyed at 20 g – 50 g for a full ceremonial experience, or 10 g – 20 g for a mindful daily cup. Brew it slowly, whisking the paste into hot water or plant milk until silky. Rich in antioxidants, magnesium, a precursor to tryptophan (for serotonin production), and mood-lifting anandamide – the “bliss” molecule. A grounding, heart-opening way to begin the day.
Drinking Cacao – A ready-to-mix powder that turns any smoothie or mug of warm milk into a velvety, healthy hot-chocolate alternative – perfect when you’re craving comfort with benefits.
Both pair beautifully with mesquite for a mocha-like treat and offer gentle mood elevation from theobromine rather than caffeine.
Does Mesquite Superfood Coffee taste like coffee?
It delivers a familiar roasted depth with gentle caramel-cacao undertones. Many ex-coffee drinkers enjoy it as a 1-for-1 swap, especially in a French press or moka pot.
Is it truly caffeine-free?
Yes. Mesquite pods contain zero caffeine, so there’s no stimulant crossing the blood-brain barrier—meaning no jitters and no afternoon crash.
Can I add milk or froth it?
Absolutely. Oat, almond, coconut, or dairy milk all steam beautifully, giving you a creamy “mesquiatto.”
How do I make the Lion’s Mane/Reishi version?
Stir ½ tsp Lion’s Mane powder and ½ tsp Reishi powder with 1 tsp MCT coconut oil into a paste, then pour your fresh mesquite brew over it. The mushrooms add nootropic focus and immune support, while the MCT boosts absorption.
What’s the best way to store it?
Keep the ground mesquite in an airtight container, away from heat and light. For freshest aroma and flavour, use within three months of opening.

Lydia van Rooyen –
Since I know the Alien Invasive Species eradication project, I am super impressed with the positive impact of Mesquite Alternative Coffee on our indigenous vegetation that is protected by the harvesting of Mesquite pods for the production of its roasted beans. And oh my word, the taste is creamy, nutty, caramel flavored caffeine-free coffee! I can now happily drink coffee without the negative effects of caffeine and high acidity. Win-win!!
