Good for backpacking, decent flavor.
Hmm... I received two of the mushroom cacao and no mushroom mocha. Would have liked to have tried that one as well. As for the flavors, I've tried the mushroom coffee mixes before. They are decent in flavor, but not amazing. I like to have some of them on hand for convenience and travel, but they're not something I would drink every day. I much prefer adding a little powdered mushrooms to a higher quality coffee, which tastes better and gives you more bang for your buck. But, these are great to have for camping and backpacking (at least for those who are not as religious about their coffee intake). I'm looking forward to trying the other flavors.

Will Update as I try all the Flavors
I just received this today. I thought the packaging was fine for a sample pack type item, it doesn't need to be fancy in my opinion. Just tried the Hot Cocoa with Cordyceps and the smell was very chocolatey. The flavor was not great as it's bitter and doesn't taste sweet at all but once I added some stevia I thought it was really good. Mixed with 3.5 oz of cashew milk and it was very creamy. I feel like it's the perfect serving size because your drink doesn't get cold before you are able to finish it. Will continue to try the rest of the items and see if I notice improved focus and such.

Glad for the chance of trying so many flavors- the flavors themselves were only so-so.
Given how expensive these products are, I was very glad to have this option to try a few before I paid a lot of money for any one flavor. I’m giving 4 stars because even the sample pack is a little pricey, and I did NOT enjoy any of the flavors with cocoa added. Lions mane was the best (very smooth, I never drink black coffee and I preferred the taste of this one black!), followed by the Cordyceps, and I have yet to try the reishi because I keep forgetting about it before bed! The elixirs are nice in smoothies, couldn’t really taste them.Maybe felt a MILD effect from the different mixes.I would love to see a sample pack with the chai mix!

I love four sigmatic
I really love four sigmatic brand coffee so much. The chaga + lions mane blend is amazing. My favorite flavor is the one with Ashwaghanda added [balance] but I got this sampler to see what the other beverages are like. Personally, the ginger chocolate ones were not for me. I did not enjoy the ginger flavor but it was not bad. The cocoa mixes and teas are great. I'm glad I tried others out!

Doesn’t taste like coffee
If you are looking for a coffee substitute this not it. It has a good flavor and the benefits of mushrooms is wonderful. I was happy with the flavor and obviously the color looks like coffee. However it stops there this is not coffee and it doesn’t taste like coffee nor does it smell like coffee. Maybe they should just say drink mushrooms because it’s better for you and leave out the coffee part. I would still buy it just not a as a coffee substitute.

The product is what it is, but not for everyone.
The items were as described and delivered quickly. The product was in excellent packaging and well described. However, my first experience was not good. The taste was what I expected to mushroom powder. I did not go into it with high expectations, but it was not easy to drink for me. I've had powered mushrooms before and yep. It tasted like dirt even with added flavors. What I did not expect was the massive headache and stomach ache. This I do not feel is the fault of the product but just my own physiology. It just did not agree with me. I would encourage others to read up on it and make their own decision. If you do decide to try it, I feel that this product can be a good place to start.

Good taste but wasteful packaging.
The drink itself is awesome!!The packaging is very durable. I have taken this backpacking, and it has done very well. However the packaging on the single packets cannot be recycled. Please find more sustainable packaging.

So far, so good
I've tried two of the samples from this pack: the teal labeled hot cocao and the red label coffee. I didn't really notice any effect from the hot cocao, but the coffee... woo! Yeah, that gave me a kick in the pants. I can't figure out how to use the colored packets - the 'elixirs'. Most folks seem to put them in smoothies, but since I don't do smoothies... it'll be a while before I try them. Overall, this is a good sample packet. I'm not yet sure whether I'll buy full size packs of any of these. If I do, it'll be of the red label coffee. It tasted like coffee. I added a bit of sugar and some powdered creamer (I was at the office) and it tasted very much like my normal morning coffee. The hot cocao tasted like hot chocolate.
