Mushroom tea has recently become a hot health and wellness trend on social media, touted to improve immunity, lower blood pressure, regulate stress levels, promote gut health and detoxify the body. Although mushroom tea’s popularity continues to rise among many, some individuals may take offense at its taste; nonetheless, many others are giving it a try and are loving the experience!

Mushroom tea can be delicious and beneficial when prepared correctly, the key being selecting the appropriate ingredients. First and foremost, ensure the tea has not been exposed to high temperatures for extended periods as this will degrade some of its nutrients. Furthermore, use high-quality water that has not been altered through filtering processes or otherwise to get maximum benefits out of your brew.

Tea lovers typically look for high-quality products with clean labels that are organic or at least non-GMO. When selecting mushrooms, freshness will have a substantial effect on taste.

Mushrooms tend to be earthy with subtle, grounding qualities. Their flavor varies depending on which variety or blends are used (or blended together in case of tea with multiple varieties). Chaga tea is one popular option; some liken its woody, subtle flavor with its woody, subtle, smoky undertones to coffee or black tea while still others find that chaga has slightly bitter qualities, or is sweeter than reishi.

Other types of mushroom tea may have more fruity or earthy tastes; Reishi mushroom, for instance, has long been recognized for its ability to energize without overburdening adrenals in the same way caffeine does. Cordyceps is another functional mushroom tea known for giving natural energy boosts while improving circulation and mental clarity – this is why some people opt for mixing multiple varieties together, creating an alluring synergy of effects tailored precisely for different body-mind needs.

Drinking mushroom tea on a regular basis is highly recommended to reap its full benefits; however, excess consumption may lead to dizziness, jitteriness or stomach upset.

If you are new to this trend and unsure where to begin, start with small doses gradually increasing over time. This will allow you to reach your optimal dosage while enjoying its flavorful tea beverage that has quickly become popular. It is recommended to consume no more than three cups a day as doing so may put strain on your immune system and lead to adverse side effects; should any arise, reduce consumption immediately and contact healthcare practitioner.
