Two Canadians. One mission.
We started Shyne in 2020 with a simple goal: make mushroom coffee that actually tastes good. No earthy aftertaste. No compromises. Just great coffee with a full 500mg of mushroom extract, right on the label.

The faces behindthe brew.
Nicole perfected the blends. Andrew brings the mycology. Together they built Canada's most transparent mushroom coffee.

Perfected 200+ test batches to eliminate the earthy aftertaste. Her philosophy: “If it doesn't taste amazing, it doesn't leave our facility.”
Andrew Langevin
Co-Founder & Mycologist
Founded Nature Lion Inc. — Canada's functional mushroom company — before launching Shyne as its coffee division. Contributing author in Mushroomology (Brill, 2026), edited by Prof. Jianping Xu of McMaster University.
We were both burnt out and living on bad coffee when we discovered mushroom coffee — and fell in love with the ritual. But the products on the market? Either too expensive, imported from the US, or tasted like dirt. So we decided to make our own.
Shyne is the coffee division of Nature Lion Inc. — our Canadian functional mushroom company that grows, researches, and formulates with the same mushrooms in every Shyne blend.
We’redreamers.
Shyne is different because each product uses a single mushroom at a full 500mg of extract — an amount you can read right on the label. Not a diluted blend of 10-15 mushrooms.
And it's cheaper than our American competitors, made right here in Ontario.
We believe that eating empowers people. Put the right things in — and know exactly what they are.
What we stand for.
Every decision we make comes back to these core values.
