Wild Chaga Mushroom Tea
Zoom
| Jar sizes | 1.2 oz & 2.4 oz |
Maine is blessed to host one of the most esteemed medicinal mushrooms in the world: Inonotus obliquus, known more commonly as chaga. Considered one of the three "mushrooms of immortality," chaga naturally possesses a host of medicinal properties, which include essential b-complex vitamins, potassium, and beta glucans (to name a few).
Chaga is considered a super-food, packed with antioxidants that help boost immunity, stimulate the production of natural energy, and support overall health.‡ Among the numerous health benefits found in wild chaga, probably the most important medicinal compound is betulinic acid, which has been studied for its natural anti-inflammatory, anti-fatigue, and immune boosting effects.*
Crafting our tea:
Our tea features wild chaga foraged from local forests in Maine that we air dry and hand grind. When the chaga has hardened and lost its moisture content, we prepare it using a turn-of-the-century food mill, then hand package it. All of our chaga is ethically wildcrafted so as not to deplete the ecosystem from which it was harvested.

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.

Do not consume if you are allergic to mushrooms.
While mushroom extracts are natural, it’s important that you consult a physician before taking any supplement if you have a health condition or are taking prescription medications. Chaga can potentially interact with medications prescribed to suppress the immune system, regulate blood clotting, and regulate blood sugar.

United StatesI’ve often wondered....
How Chaga tasted and ‘worked’. Now I have both enjoyed the tea and learned more thru North Spore. I wish there was a way to inoculate some of our trees ! ( we have a small family farm with nice hardwood and a few birch). Thank you North Spore for your desire to spread the shroom word!

Tom L. United StatesGreat tea
I fully expected this to be a "hold your nose and swallow" tea that was more about the health benefits of Chaga and less about the taste. But, wow! I was wrong. The taste is incredible, very similar to a black tea. Throw in some cream or milk and maple syrup and its dessert-like. Even my kids, ages 11 and 8, love to drink this tea. The tea comes in a little container which is the perfect size to store away. The instructions are straightforward. I have no problem straining the grounds or just letting them settle in the pan and scoop out the tea above it. This tea is a great way to get a daily dose of Chaga, especially through out the winter. My family and I will be drinking this for a long time.
