Reishi mushrooms (Ganoderma lucidum) have long been studied as functional fungi. Nicknamed the “Mushroom of Immortality”, they’ve been used for hundreds of years in both traditional Chinese herbal medicine and contemporary Western practices to treat everything from liver issues and cancer to anxiety and insomnia. Reishi also acts as a powerful anti-ageing agent by protecting against free radical damage while supporting skin radiance through beta-glucans present within its beta glucans.

Reishi can be quite bitter in flavor, which means most people would likely not appreciate its use in dishes at a restaurant. But thanks to reishi powder extract, this powerful functional mushroom can now easily be added into delectable recipes! Our concentrated extract of this amazing fungus can be mixed in powder form, capsule form or tea. Our Reishi Tea recipe combines its potency with soothing properties from rooibos tea and stevia leaves that helps ease its bitter taste – creating the ideal way forward in using this powerful super mushroom!

Rooibos tea is packed with antioxidants that can neutralize free radicals in the body and promote healthy cells in this decoction, providing a great way to bolster immunity and ease stress levels. Stevia leaves and orange flavoring can further mask its bitter taste; making this an excellent way to start or end each day off right.

Reishi decoctions, for those unfamiliar, are long-simmering processes in which water-soluble properties of plants or fungi are extracted using low heat over an extended period. It’s an effective form of herbal preparation and often more efficient than simply steeping them for several minutes in hot water and drinking them as tea.

Reishi is an adaptogen, meaning it helps the body cope with stress and fatigue by balancing hormones that regulate such functions. This reishi tea recipe is great for anyone experiencing chronic illness as well as those looking to improve their overall health and immunity.
