Mushroom tea is an increasingly popular wellness trend that is believed to have numerous health benefits for consumers’ immune systems and reduce inflammation, among others. Mushroom tea is usually prepared by steeping dried medicinal or edible mushrooms such as Reishi and Chaga in hot water for several minutes until soft. Unfortunately, many consumers still do not fully comprehend how long its effects last or how to store and preserve this beverage appropriately – something which may put off potential buyers from purchasing and using this beverage altogether.

With proper care and consideration, mushroom tea can last much longer than expected – read on to discover its lifespan as well as some useful storage tips!

Commonly referred to as “magic mushrooms”, these seemingly magical organisms are actually just regular types of nonpoisonous fungus that has health-supportive properties and is widely consumed for tea consumption, claiming to improve athletic performance, boost immunity, and decrease anxiety levels.

While these claims remain largely unverifiable, many individuals believe they experience the health-supportive properties of mushroom tea regularly. Some research indicates it could help lower cholesterol levels, reduce stress levels, lower blood pressure levels, increase energy and stamina as well as promote gut health.

Mushrooms contain approximately 95% water, making them vulnerable to mold and decay if not stored correctly. Signs of spoilage in mushrooms include slimy texture or shriveled appearance as well as spots that appear rotted; further indicators could include wrinkled surface appearance or reduced scale size of the mushroom itself.

As soon as possible after making mushroom tea, it should be enjoyed. Doing this will ensure that all its beneficial nutrients remain active while providing optimal flavor experiences. However, if you can’t remember exactly when or why you brewed the beverage in question, just put it into the fridge until ready for consumption.

Some people prefer storing their mushroom tea in a mason jar, which can help preserve its flavors and textures while helping prevent bacteria growth on its surface.

Mushroom tea can be stored for 12-18 months when stored in a mason jar, depending on its packaging method and temperature conditions. Vacuum sealing bags offer even longer shelf lives; for an added measure against mold and bacteria growth, freeze your mushrooms prior to placing in mason jar storage for best results and consistent use of this delicious drink!
