Are You Seeking Energy, Immune Support or to Relax and De-stress Your Mind and Reduce Stress Through Mushroom Tea? Mushroom tea has become increasingly popular beverage among artisanal startups as well as by-the-ton global producers.

Mushroom teas aren’t your typical herbal beverages – they are infusions of hot water with specific mushroom varieties (ground or whole) and herbs such as black pepper, ginger, turmeric, cardamom, dandelion roots, chaga and ashwagandha for an aromatic experience. Mushroom teas come in all forms from powder to whole mushrooms to tea bags!

Mushroom species used in tea preparation will impact its flavor and health benefits. Chaga contains antioxidants which detoxify liver function while stimulating digestive bile production; cordyceps helps increase physical stamina while cordyceps enhances oxygen levels for increased performance, and Reishi, known as “The Mushroom of Immortality”, reduces anxiety, increases immunity levels and strengthens adrenals.

Though single-shroom teas may offer their own set of advantages, mushroom enthusiasts typically favor blends that contain multiple species of mushrooms for optimal results. Furthermore, many mushroom enthusiasts add other herbs for nutritional value and to enhance flavor profiles and tastes profiles.

Most of these teas offer an earthy flavor, perfect for solo consumption or blended with green and matcha drinks to produce an irresistibly soothing cup that can serve as an early morning wake-up, midday energy booster or late-evening relaxant.

As with any supplement, mushroom tea must be taken on a consistent basis to reap its full benefits. Most mushroom teas should be included as part of a holistic wellness routine that includes exercise, sleep, meditation and mindful eating practices.

These teas typically include three varieties of mushrooms: chaga, reishi and cordyceps – known as adaptogens to help the body better handle stress and promote balance in its systems – in addition to providing natural energy that promotes physical endurance without producing the same high level of caffeine intake that coffee provides.

Reishi and turkey tail mushrooms may provide cognitive function and memory support, while lion’s mane is said to help enhance focus and concentration. Cordyceps has shown promising signs of improving energy and athletic performance – though more studies need to be completed. Mushroom tea may offer other potential health benefits as well, including immune-boosting, cardiovascular support, anti-inflammatory properties and more – so consult your physician or dietitian before adding anything unfamiliar into your diet plan.
