There’s always an opportunity for firsts here at Golf Unfiltered, and that includes our first-ever coffee review. Phil Mickelson’s Coffee For Wellness brand is the topic of this review, along with all the goodies and marketing promises that come along with this interesting product.

I had the opportunity to try the full line of products from Coffee For Wellness, and while the coffee itself is your standard-tasting mild roast, there were a couple items that really stood out.

Let’s get things brewing. #CoffeePun

What is Coffee For Wellness?

First things first: what does coffee have to do with golf, let alone being healthier?

Fans of Phil Mickelson know that he’s had some ups and downs in terms of health over the years. Phil has been quite open with his weight struggles and a painful autoimmune disorder, both of which taking a toll on his on-course play from time to time. While Phil’s name appears in some not-so-flattering articles these days for topics completely unrelated to his health, the Coffee For Wellness product stands apart from that controversy.

Coffee For Wellness is a subscription-based coffee service that offers premium grade whole bean coffee, a special mixing ingredient deemed “The Good Stuff,” energy snack bite brownies to supplement your coffee addiction, and a few accessories to liven things up.

Mickelson attributes his health improvements to a strict coffee-based diet regimen that, as far as I can tell, consists of him drinking coffee mixed with The Good Stuff all day, thus reducing his appetite and eating less.

The Good Stuff is a powdery substance you mix into your coffee (you don’t actually have to use the brand’s coffee; any will do) and contains natural ingredients like L-Theanine, MCT powder, collagen, cinnamon and Himalayan pink salt. These ingredients have long been known as health catalysts on their own, so mixing them together seems like a good idea, right? Sure.

How does it taste?

Actually, not too bad.

I’m more a fan of medium-to-dark roast blends, and Coffee For Wellness is more in the medium roast category to my palette. The caffeine level didn’t seem too high, nor was the coffee too bitter. I could easily drink this blend daily.

The Good Stuff, however, was a real treat. I’m not usually a fan of cinnamon-flavored anything, but I honestly enjoyed the taste of this powder. I found it to be a fitting alternative to any dairy creamer, already making it a healthier option. Just one scoop was enough to sweeten things up, so to speak, and enhanced the overall flavor of the brew nicely.

What else came with the kit?

In addition to the whole bean coffee and Good Stuff powder, I also tried the brand’s Superfood Energy Bites. These mini brownies come individually wrapped and are USDA Organic, kosher, have no GMOs and truly taste like a traditional brownie (with a slight hint of coffee). These are meant to provide a short burst of energy when you need it most.

Coffee For Wellness also sells a number of coffee and golf-related accessories that include an electric mixer, coffee tumblers, Phil Mickelson logo hats, and even golf balls. The tumbler and mixer — both of which were included in my review kit — were of a high quality and will be used many times over.

Overall Impression

Coffee For Wellness is an interesting concept geared towards helping you establish a solid foundation for a healthy lifestyle. This is a key distinction, of course, since drinking coffee alone will not dramatically improve your overall health. Additional work must be done to see the results you want, and more important, to be sustained.

However, as a standalone product line, Coffee For Wellness is a tasty option for dedicated coffee drinkers (like me) who want to try something different in the morning. I have no doubt that incorporating coffee into my daily routine coupled with healthy living adjustments throughout the day will lead to weight loss and a general sense of positive wellbeing.
