Chaga Tea

4 reviews
  • $22.00

Maine is blessed to host one of the most esteemed medicinal mushrooms in the world: Inonotus obliquus, known commonly as Chaga. Considered one of the three 'mushrooms of immortality' (alongside Reishi and Shiitake), Chaga has been used for hundreds of years by people living in the Siberian mountain region of northern Russia. It is known to concentrate health-boosting compounds found in living birch trees and, when turned into a tea, makes a delicious and warming beverage known for its use as a preventative medicine.

North Spore starts by seeking out native Chaga conks in the Maine woods. We carefully breakdown the Chaga into smaller chunks that we air-dry. When the Chaga has hardened and lost its moisture content we grind it using a turn-of-the-century food mill that allows for easy preparation of our tea.

How to prepare: Simmer 1 tbsp in 4-6 cups of water for at least 20 minutes, or until the water is opaque and resembles back coffee. Strain the grounds out of the water and set aside. Grounds may be reused 2 or 3 times (make sure to simmer for extra time or follow the 'looks like black coffee' rule). Add cream and maple syrup to taste. 

Please check out this article on Chaga written by our friend Dr. Kevin Curran, a PhD in molecular biology and professor at the University of San Diego, for more detailed information on the ethnomycology of Chaga, medicinal properties, and identification!

Chaga Tea

I enjoyed the tea- it’s very smooth- not strong, funky, or medicinal tasting at all. It’s very earthy and woodsy- kind of what I expected. I dont add sweetener, but I can see how people would. I would buy again.

I love this chaga tea!

Since purchasing this tea, it has become a staple in my daily routine. It tastes great with cream and maple syrup and I have replaced my morning coffee with this beverage.

Makes wonderful tea

This was my first purchase with North Spore, and it definitely won't be my last! I love the Chaga tea, and the team at North Spore has been very responsive to my series of "newbie" questions. Thank you so much!

Chaga tea

I have bought several items from North Spore and they never disappoint. The chaga tea has a mild flavor that is easy to drink. The grounds from each brew can be saved and reused several times so each container makes more servings than you would think. My shipment from North Spore came quickly within 3 days. I highly recommend North Spore.
