The company currently is focused on the distribution of artisanal, medicinal mushrooms and related CPG’s while promoting holistic health and wellness through a healthy diet.

The company currently sells a line of mushroom-infused teas under the Vitality Superteas brand.

Referred to as “superteas,” Vitality’s products are sold online via their own e-commerce platform.

Additionally, Champignon has entered into a product formulation and R&D agreement with that of BC-based Drip Coffee Social. The agreement will see the two firms work together to develop ready-to-drink (RTD) cold brew coffees, as well as hot beverages crafted in-house with Champignon’s mushroom-extract blend. The beverages will be marketed online by Champignon, as well as direct to consumer at Drip Coffee’s flagship location in Nanaimo, BC. The beverages will be vegan, organic, and fair trade certified upon launch.
