Chaga Mushroom Tea

Chaga mushroom tea, derived from the chaga mushroom (Inonotus obliquus), is a traditional beverage that has been consumed for centuries in Northern Europe, Russia, and Siberia for its purported health benefits. This tea is made by steeping chunks of dried chaga mushroom in hot water, resulting in a distinctive infusion. The chaga mushroom grows primarily on birch trees in cold climates and is harvested in a sustainable manner to ensure longevity of the ecosystem. The beverage is noted for its earthy flavor and mild bitterness, often described as a cross between tea and coffee, but without the caffeine content. Chaga tea is rich in antioxidants and is believed to have immune-boosting properties, although scientific research is ongoing to fully understand its health benefits.
