Chaga is an aromatic woody mushroom known for its subtle woodsmoke scent. Most commonly made into tea using chunks or powder form. Chaga harvesting should occur during winter when its potency peaks.

Tea with natural vanillin gives it a mild yet pleasant flavor, as well as essential minerals and nutrients for healthy living.

Rich and earthy

Chaga grows on birch trees and is commonly misunderstood as something like a scab or burnt blister – both common descriptions. But its unusual appearance has earned this mushroom an esteemed place among herbal remedies worldwide. Chaga has long been revered for its numerous health benefits, specifically promoting immune function.

Chaga mushroom’s flavor varies slightly depending on how it’s prepared, from earthy, woody and bitter to its unique sweetness due to high levels of vanillin content. Furthermore, this delicious sweet treat also boasts many health benefits that include B-complex vitamins, vitamin D, potassium and amino acids (the building blocks for protein formation).

For optimal chaga tea making results, we advise opting for its winter harvest. At this point in its maturation cycle, its potency increases significantly while both its full flavor and medicinal benefits come to the forefront.

Chaga can best be enjoyed when consumed as both tincture and tea. When making a tincture, it is important to separate the alcohol from steeped liquid and combine them in an equal ratio (1 part tincture: 2 parts hot water). This ensures that its medicinal compounds will dissolve both into alcohol and water simultaneously.

Chaga can be enjoyed both hot and cold in tea form, making our “Chaga Chai” the ideal warm cup to start your day right! A blend of Wild Harvested Chaga Mushrooms, Organic Roasted Chicory Root, Organic Cinnamon, and Organic Cayenne offer a complete and healing tonic that feels just right when enjoying.

Together these elements combine for the ideal beverage that supports normal digestive function while providing immune boosting without unwanted jitters or crashes.

Sweet and smoky

Chaga tea boasts a distinct and delicate woodsy flavor that’s subtle yet slightly smoky, as well as subtle vanilla undertones thanks to vanillin, an naturally occurring compound found within it. Some have likened its taste to that of coffee or black tea combined. Chaga’s unique character can vary depending on where it was harvested from, its preparation process or even age – which may affect how your experience tastes when drinking it!

Chaga can be enjoyed best as a tea. Most people create it by boiling water and then adding powdered or cut up pieces of the fungus – powdered or cut up into chunks – either powdered or cut up. Some will simmer the tea for two or three hours in order to extract its maximum medicinal properties; others add honey as sweetener. Chaga also makes an excellent addition to soups and baked goods such as mushroom stock replacement or cookie batter enhancement, particularly those incorporating smoky flavors such as smoked meat dishes or root vegetables dishes!

Chaga may look tough, but its tender flesh makes for a pleasant and mild taste despite its rugged exterior, making it a great alternative to harsh herbal remedies that may be bitter or unpleasant in flavor. Packed full of essential vitamins and minerals as well as antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant, antitumor and antiviral properties it may also provide anti-aging effects due to its high concentration of beta glucans.

People often turn to chaga for its health benefits, yet it’s essential that any prospective purchaser does their research first before purchasing. Look for labels stating the country of origin as well as whether the seller provides independent testing of their product – this can ensure you’re receiving high-quality fungus that hasn’t been contaminated by mold or other pollutants.

Bitter and woodsy

As with other medicinal mushroom teas, chaga can often be described as bitter and woodsy in flavor. This characteristic derives from its high concentration of vanillin–an ingredient found naturally in vanilla bean–along with high levels of antioxidants and polyphenols present.

Chaga is an adaptogenic herb which aids the body in dealing with external and internal stressors by encouraging balanced energy, supporting homeostasis, and encouraging its natural ability to heal itself. Unlike magic mushrooms, which may alter consciousness through mind alteration effects, Chaga does not cause such negative side-effects but has numerous other health-boosting advantages for both mind and body.

Though seemingly strange in appearance, chaga makes for an enjoyable tea beverage when used as the basis of one. Its bittersweet balance is offset by its woody taste; unlike some herbal teas that tend towards being either too sour, salty, or sweet; thus making this blend especially suitable to enjoy solo or when combined with other ingredients like cinnamon.

To use chaga in tea-making, it must first be dried. Chaga can either be left as chunks or ground into powder. As it thrives even in harsh climates, harvesting year-round harvest is possible, although harvesting requires intensive labor.

Tea companies must use quality ingredients in order to produce tea that tastes as close to its natural state as possible. Steam dehydration drying allows tea companies to preserve more terpenes and aromatic compounds that contribute to its unique taste.

Chaga tea, whether prepared with black or green tea as its foundation, is an ideal morning beverage that contains anti-inflammatory compounds as well as providing a powerful dose of antioxidants to fight the signs of aging and slow the rate of decline. In addition, its Vitamin K content acts as an natural blood thinner.
