Flavor

Mushroom teas are hot water beverages infused with functional mushrooms in either dried form, whole form or powdered extract form. Some mushroom tea recipes utilize black or green tea blends as the foundation, while there are other versions using different herbal teas instead. Mushroom teas provide an easy way to integrate functional adaptogenic mushrooms into daily life while often providing unique flavor profiles and aromas.

Reishi mushroom tea is an ideal example. Dubbed the “Mushroom of Immortality,” this rare medicinal mushroom enjoys an ancient reputation as something of a miracle fungus. Widely recognized as one of the most powerful tonics for Traditional Chinese Medicine, practitioners recommend enjoying Reishi daily as part of daily routine regimen. Reishi can be mixed with cinnamon and rooibos for maximum benefits while providing sweet nurturing flavouring notes to this tea blend.

“Mushroom for the Mind” tea is another one featuring the lion’s mane mushroom that we offer here at Acup of Tea. This soothing and stimulating blend consists of herbal rooibos, spearmint, lemongrass and organic ginseng to support cognitive function as well as provide a refreshing taste experience – perfect to offer as an anytime boost! This stimulating herbal combination makes a delightful tea to start any day right!

Functional tea can be found in many forms, but to ensure quality it’s important that consumers seek out locally sourced varieties. This ensures the mushrooms grow in an optimal environment without exposure to toxic or other contaminating elements; additionally it would be wise to choose teas that utilize only dried mushrooms rather than ground or powdered varieties.

John Boyd of Buddha Teas found that when he moved from England to the US from where his love of tea had developed, its selection lacked diversity and purity compared with what he was used to back home in England. This led him to create his company which creates healthy organic pure teas which also taste deliciously! This resulted in creating a range of healthy organic pure teas which not only meet these criteria, but are delicious too.
