Mushroom tea has quickly gained in popularity as it claims various health benefits. Brew your own using one or more types of functional mushrooms such as chaga, reishi or lion’s mane for optimal results. Fungi are packed full of antioxidants and have been used in eastern herbal medicine for millennia for immune support, stress relief and adrenal gland support – so enjoy!

Fungi are known to act as adaptogens, helping your body respond to physical or emotional stressors by strengthening immunity. Many have reported positive benefits from drinking mushroom tea such as increased energy, mental clarity improvement and better sleep. However, some individuals may experience side effects from drinking it such as digestive issues or allergic reactions to the mushrooms themselves.

Though mushroom tea may contain some side effects, its popularity remains strong. One key reason is its ability to alleviate stress, anxiety and depression while increasing focus and cognitive performance. Many also claim the tea can assist with weight loss or lower blood sugar levels; however this claim has yet to be supported scientifically.

Fungi offer numerous wellness benefits and are low in calories while boasting high concentrations of selenium, vitamin C and choline. Their earthy flavor pairs nicely with other herbs and spices; many people like combining Reishi with Ashwagandha to make an relaxing evening beverage that supports their brain and nervous system.

As the market for functional mushrooms continues to expand, tea companies must make investments that improve product quality – particularly perishable items like chaga or lion’s mane tea, where poor quality can quickly damage a brand and drive consumers away.

As mushroom tea can quickly spoil, there are multiple methods available to preserve its quality and prevent spoilage. One effective approach is keeping it in a dark, dry location such as a cupboard or drawer in order to reduce light and moisture damage to the fungi, while an alternative may involve dehydrating it to further decrease moisture content in your product.

Dehydrators can help keep mushroom tea’s natural flavors intact by eliminating humidity and light exposure, while dehydrator use also serves to preserve it for extended periods. Some brands even utilize special vacuum machines that remove air and moisture from their products to ensure their tea remains as fresh as possible for maximum consumption. Other effective means include freezing it or placing it into airtight containers which can be purchased online or from specialty shops – keeping mushrooms fresher longer!
