THE FOUNDER

Coffee brought me here. Mushrooms optimise my life.

I began my coffee journey in 2010, discovering a passion for this fruit and its adventures. By 2011, I was teaching coffee-making and founded Dublin Barista School, training over 25,000 baristas since 2013. Business challenges led to stress and burnout, prompting me to explore science for solutions. In 2020, I experimented with medicinal mushrooms in my coffee, feeling rejuvenated and eager to share this experience.After sampling various mushroom coffees, I found a gap in the market for a product that's both beneficial and delicious. This led to the creation of OYL (Optimise Your Life), a blend of my love for coffee and health, offering a unique and special product.
