Farm to Cup | The Sacred Journey of Medicinal Mushrooms
From the remote mountains of China to the cup in your hands - this is the story behind the mushrooms that have nourished bodies, spirits, and entire lineages for over 2,000 years.
In this SuperFeast short film, we take you inside the ancient Dì Dào (地道) tradition - the Taoist standard of growing herbs and mushrooms exactly where nature intended. Right soil. Right climate. Right water. Right elevation.
No shortcuts. No industrialisation. Just true potency.
This is more than sourcing.
It’s legacy.
It’s reverence.
It’s the story of how real medicinal mushrooms are grown, harvested, extracted, and finally - offered as daily tools for cultivating your Jing, Qi, and Shen.
If you’ve ever wondered what true quality looks like behind the scenes… this is the journey.

At SuperFeast, we’re in the business of creating SuperHumans.
We offer Dì Dào (地道) sourced medicinal mushrooms and tonic herbs for serious health goals—no shortcuts, no diluted promises.
Some companies sell hope with flashy labels and cheap practices. When health is on the line, we take that personally. We hold the line for uncompromising standards, standing with the few who deliver the real deal.
Unlike others who fill jars with grain-grown mycelium or unextracted whole-ground mushrooms, we use only the fruiting body, grown on wood as the Taoists did 2000 years ago.
Our optimized 10:1 extraction method delivers the full strength of 10kg of mushrooms and herbs in every 1kg of SuperFeast.
Each mushroom and herb is grown in its natural environment, and exposed to the right elements for peak potency.
No tricks, no compromises.
Led by a founder who lives and breathes herbalism, and backed by modern independent testing, we’re here for those who demand results.
Here for those who are hellbent on flipping their story to reach their peak.
Here for YOU to reach YOUR SuperHuman potential.
We refuse to dream any smaller than this.

By transitioning with the seasons and focusing on the health and optimisation of the Lung Qi we create the conditions to continue to protect the ecosystem of the treasures so we don’t drain them prematurely. In this instance it is especially the Qi treasure of your body, and the aspect of that treasure that maintains our Momentum energy longterm in life; being able to get up again, again and again and continue working away at our duties and goals. Secondarily, by being Autumn savvy we ensure we don’t use unnecessary Yin and Yang Jing reserves to fuel us living our of sync with nature. Westerns are especially poor at descending with Autumn, we want to keep accumulating, but not let go and cut away with the sharp metal of the Lungs when something is spent, and that weight over heavy limbs over time clouds our ability to nourish the opening of Shen so we can clearly see our path to destiny / wise and awesome life.
Autumn and Lung Metal means:
* its time to start cutting a few things away from our day-to-day
* refining / sharpening our repetitive habits so they’re more precise and effective
* grieving what must be left behind
* starting to accept a descending energy in our days and lifestyle
* don’t stop until there’s discerning clarity about your life
* Go to bed earlier
The Qi herbs help a lot and this is when we need to up our doses. And the mushrooms stay around to prep us for winter protection.

Reishi has been one of the most respected tonic substances in Taoist herbalism for thousands of years for a reason. It wasn’t traditionally used as a quick stress fix or “sleep” mushroom; it was valued as something people took over long periods of time to support resilience, calm and ignite the spirit, recover from intense stress, and help them age with more clarity and vitality. Historically, wild Reishi was incredibly rare and difficult to access, which is part of why it became associated with sages, hermits, and longevity traditions throughout China.
One of the reasons we care so much about sourcing is because not all Reishi is grown the same. “Di Dao” is a Taoist and Chinese herbal term used to describe herbs grown in the region, climate, and conditions where they have traditionally expressed their highest quality and potency. It’s a way of saying the herb has a strong connection to its true nature and environment. Reishi is considered a superior tonic herb because it’s traditionally taken not just to get through life, but to support the long game: your nervous system, your energy, your immune system, your sleep, and your spirit over decades.

Winter doesn’t ask for permission. It kicks the seasonal door down. It arrives and reveals those that have the immunological capacity to adjust to the seasonal change and those that don’t.
Every year you see it. Winter comes around and people’s health just unravels quite often at the start of winter and especially right at the end of winter. But because we understand how the immune system works, we don’t accept that.
Medicinal mushrooms are our Trojan horse to get you starting this conversation, lifting those standards and of course arming your immune system along the way. Because over the last few thousand years, it’s been shown that nothing can match the consumption of medicinal mushrooms and turning the lights on of the immune system and building that foundation along with our lifestyle practices. And it’s been used by people who weren’t reacting to a fear of getting sick, but understood biology and understood their immune system and understood medicines like the medicinal mushrooms and how to get on them early to cultivate health.
It’s not about just not getting sick. It’s about seeing just how good you can feel when your body doesn’t get excessively sick all the time. So get on the medicinal mushrooms… Mason’s Mushrooms, Mushroom M8 capsules, Reishi mushroom… up to 30% off.
Either way, winter is coming. That adaptive change of the cold season is coming and your body’s going to have to meet it?
*Ts&Cs
#superfeast #superhuman #cultivateyoursuperhumanpotential #medicinalmushrooms
Q: How long do tonic herbs take to work? A: Tonic herbs and adaptogens build cumulative effects over weeks of consistent daily use. Rather than acting fast, they gradually restore depleted systems and build a surplus of vitality, making results deeper and more durable than quick-fix interventions.
Q: Why aren’t my tonic herbs working? A: Usually it comes down to inconsistent use, insufficient dosage, or choosing herbs that don’t match your most pressing needs. Treat the label dose as a starting point, and remember that consistency over weeks and months is the single biggest factor in getting results.
Q: How much tonic herb should I take? A: Use the label dose as your baseline, then adjust to your body’s feedback and circumstances. High-stress periods often call for more; quieter periods, less. The right dose is dynamic, not fixed, developing sensitivity to what your body needs is part of the practice.
Q: Can I take multiple tonic herbs together? A: Yes. Tonic herbs are designed to be combined, and many practitioners mix several daily. There’s no strict limit, what matters is intentional selection based on your needs and aspirations. Starting with one and building up is sound; going all in from the start is equally valid.
Q: Which tonic herb should I start with? A: The one that addresses your most pressing need right now. The best starting herb is always the one most relevant to where you are today.
Q: How do I build a consistent tonic herb practice? A: Habit stacking is the most effective strategy, tie your herbs to something you already do daily. Add powder to your morning coffee or smoothie, keep capsules by your toothbrush, or pre-mix doses for the week. The goal is to fold herbs into your existing rhythm, not add another task to remember.
Q: Are tonic herbs safe to take every day? A: Yes, daily use is exactly how they’re meant to be taken. Tonic herbs are non-toxic and safe for sustained use, and have been taken daily in Taoist herbalism for thousands of years. Quality does matter though, choose a brand that tests rigorously and is transparent about its growing and extraction standards.

We looooooove seeing your tonic routines!! (Keep tagging us it honestly makes our day 🥹) But we thought hey, maybe you want to hear what we each do here at the tonic bar… when you have access to alllll the herbs alllllll the time, do we get herb option overload?! Do we stick to same routine everyday or change it up?! Let’s show you! 😋
Sam is currently working with x2 heaped teaspoons of I Am Gaia daily (with some cacao, maple syrup and soy milk to taste). She using it for blood building and storing Yin.
And hi, this is Saskia here 👋, I am in a beautiful busy season currently, and I’m really feeling drawn back to JING because it feels so restorative. X1 heaped teaspoons twice a day (Also adding Schisandra, because Layne Beachley inspired me).
What herbs are you currently workinb with? We’d love to know!
