Herbs and coffee go together like chocolate and peanut butter, sunshine and nakedness, or a Jerry Garcia guitar solo echoing down an open desert highway.

If you’re a lover of that morning cup of Joe, try pairing your wake-up brew with some smokable herbs. The right blend can lift your mood, fire up your jazz noggin, and get you feeling ready to take on the day.

So rise, shine, and get your toke of the morning sun. Here are five smokable herbs to elevate your coffee ritual – each one ready to lift your spirit, sharpen your mind, and get your blood flowing like a chocolate river in Roald Dahl’s imagination.

Peppermint is a natural mood enhancer thanks to its invigorating aroma and stimulating properties. The menthol in peppermint increases alertness, clears brain fog, and can help reduce fatigue by improving oxygen flow and circulation. A few tokes of Peppermint can leave you feeling refreshed, focused, and mentally uplifted, riding that great big surfer wave or morning delight.

A hybrid mint, Peppermint adds a cool, mentholated flavor to your smoke – making it an ideal partner for your morning coffee. It delivers a smooth, heady, and vibrant toke that helps open up blood flow and awaken the senses. Its crisp, minty flavor balances beautifully with coffee’s bitterness, creating a natural, energizing combo that feels both refreshing and peppy.

Our Mintz blend is a great source for peppermint to pair with your morning coffee.

Damiana is a smooth and soulful herb that brings a unique kind of energy – one rooted in mood, clarity, and subtle stimulation. While it’s not a powerhouse like caffeine or ginseng, Damiana works on a more emotional and sensual level, gently uplifting the spirit and easing tension with a mellow morning buzz. If your fatigue is tied to stress, low mood, or lack of motivation, Damiana can help spark that inner fire with a dash of passion and inspiration. A mild aphrodisiac, it’s known for its mildly euphoric effects, helping you feel more open, relaxed, and ready to flow into your day with intention.

When paired with morning coffee, Damiana adds a mellow counterbalance to caffeine’s sharp edge. Coffee wakes up the body; Damiana wakes up the soul. The two together create a vibrant, well-rounded energy – one that’s both alert and emotionally grounded. Damiana also supports circulation and may gently stimulate blood flow, adding to the sense of vitality without creating jitters or a crash.

The earthy, slightly spicy aroma of Damiana blends beautifully with the rich bitterness of coffee, creating a sensual, grounding ritual to start the day.

Our Moon and Original Bear Blends are great sources of Damiana and pair excellently with coffee.

Calamus root, also known as “sweet flag,” is a unique and ancient herb known for its ability to awaken the mind, sharpen the senses, and energize the body. Traditionally used in Ayurvedic and Native American medicine, Calamus is revered for its stimulating effects on the nervous system. It enhances mental clarity, improves memory, and can help cut through brain fog – making it a powerful ally when you need to feel focused, grounded, and alert.

As a smokable herb, Calamus pairs surprisingly well with coffee. Its warm, spicy, and slightly bitter flavor complements the rich, roasted notes of your morning brew, creating a deep, earthy ritual that feels both energizing and grounding. While coffee delivers the caffeine kick, Calamus offers a head-clearing buzz that feels more cerebral than jittery. It stimulates circulation, especially to the brain, giving you a heightened sense of awareness and presence – perfect for starting the day on a clear, creative note.

Earthy and rooty, our Amazon blend is a great source of Calamus for a morning coffee toke.
