Mushroom coffee brand RYZE has expanded its functional beverage portfolio with the launch of its limited-edition Pumpkin Spice Latte.

The seasonal product introduction enters nationwide retail distribution exclusively across Target stores for a limited time. The launch translates the autumn pumpkin spice flavour profile into a functional hot beverage format, combining warm spices with the company's proprietary functional mushroom blend.

The release marks a physical retail expansion for the brand, placing functional mushroom coffee directly into nationwide mass retail sets during the autumn trading period.

Formulation and Functional Mushroom Matrix

The product development combines seasonal café flavour notes with functional wellness ingredients, offering an alternative to high-sugar autumn coffeehouse beverages.

Formulated with 100 per cent vegan ingredients, the beverage pairs a warming spice blend with organic mushroom extracts:

🍄 SUPER6™ Functional Mushroom Blend: Formulated with 1,000mg of USA-grown organic functional mushrooms per serving to support clean energy, cognitive focus, and digestive wellness.

🍂 Autumn Spice Matrix: Combines cinnamon, ginger, allspice, cloves, and nutmeg to deliver a creamy, spiced latte profile.

🌱 Dietary Profile: Manufactured exclusively with 100 per cent vegan ingredients without heavy added sugars.

Andrée Werner, Co-Founder of RYZE, stated that the development strategy focused on providing a seasonal option that delivers traditional autumn flavours without excessive sugar content, noting that incorporating the organic six-mushroom blend provides functional daily benefits within an indulgent format.

Retail Exclusive Distribution

RYZE Pumpkin Spice Latte has commenced commercial availability as a limited-time offering (LTO) exclusively across Target store locations nationwide.

The exclusive retail partnership provides Target with a differentiated functional entry within the ambient coffee fixture, capturing consumer demand for seasonal flavour rotation and functional adaptogenic beverages throughout the autumn trading window.
