Cool Cat - Seasonal

A bright, crunchy, olive-oil chili crisp made with locally grown lion’s mane mushrooms, organic almonds, and Sonoma County-grown peppers.

Sweet guajillo peppers build the first layer of warmth, followed by classic cayenne and the vivid kick of purple buena mulata chiles. Organic almonds bring a satisfying crunch, while dehydrated lion’s mane adds savory depth with a subtly sweet, approachable flavor-- a contrast from the deep earthiness from the porcini and shiitake flavors in our other recipes.

Cool Cat is formulated with lion’s mane cultivated in Santa Rosa by Language, plus cayenne and buena mulata peppers grown and dried by Little Saint Farm in Healdsburg. 

This recipe is a limited seasonal release, developed by two herbalists, and our first with functional mushrooms. Lion's mane mushrooms have long been studied for their role in supporting cognitive health, and we're pretty thrilled to have added a recipe to our lineup that serves as a delivery system for this superfood.

Heat level: Medium
Tasting notes: Sweet guajillo, savory lion’s mane, toasted almonds, bright cayenne heat, and a peppery Buena Mulata finish.
