Shroomi stands out in a sea of brands by providing simple mushroom-infused instant coffee, packaged in eye-catching yet user-friendly packaging that delivers both visual appeal and delicious taste.

Mixing different varieties of mushrooms together can produce an amazing synergistic effect. Reishi and cordyceps might enhance mood while providing energy and clarity to the mind, while chaga (inonotus obliquus) could support liver health while strengthening immunity.

Flavor

Reishi, cordyceps, turkey tail and lion’s mane mushrooms have long been used medicinally as powerful tools to bolster immunity, reduce stress, increase focus and promote overall wellbeing. By steeping them into tea form their bioactive compounds can become more readily absorbed.

Mushroom teas can range in flavor from earthy to sweet. The key is adding ingredients that complement and enhance the mushrooms variety while increasing its functional properties. Herbal blends like rooibos and hibiscus can balance out an earthy mushroom-y taste of some blends while spices, fruits or nut milks add extra depth and pleasure.

One of the great benefits of functional mushroom beverages is their versatility: from providing an everyday ritual tailored to your mood and desired effects to seasonal beverages like cold brew with Tremella that give skin-loving glow – adding mushroom beverages into your routine is simple and straightforward!

Some purveyors of mushroom coffee take an aggressive approach with an extravagant blend, while others take a more moderate approach, crafting drinks similar to what you might find at an old mall kiosk that used to stock half-caff Americanos and yerba mate cans before Spencer’s Gifts came along and put them out of business. Melting Forest’s functional mushroom focus coffee falls more into this latter camp with its light bitterness that might turn off coffee newcomers but please old heads who still savor Folgers and Stumptown coffee fans alike.

As with any hot or cold drink, the key to creating an exceptional infused beverage lies in using only high-quality, fresh ingredients. When selecting mushroom powders or blends, look for organic varieties with no fillers, binders, or preservatives present on their label. To get maximum enjoyment from your beverage infusion experience, stir or whisk your mushroom powder with some hot water before adding cold ingredients for maximum smoothness and an silky-smooth finish.

Ingredients

Mushroom tea is an herbal infusion made of one or more edible mushrooms that has been simmered in boiling water to release their medicinal and nutritional properties into the drink, known as “steeping”. Steeping elevates mushrooms beyond being just another food trend to becoming an extremely nourishing beverage that supports immune function, boosts mood, reduces inflammation, promotes gut health, lowers stress levels, aids digestion and even combats cancer (1).

Mushroom teas can be tailored to individual preferences with combinations of various mushrooms for an array of effects. For instance, Lion’s Mane tea paired with Reishi provides an energetic boost as well as mental clarity and endurance benefits; on the other hand Reishi provides a relaxing effect; other blends may pair Cordyceps with Ashwagandha to help regulate blood pressure and stress hormone levels within your body.

Psilocybin mushroom tea contains the psychedelic compounds psilocin and psilocybin that produce altered states of consciousness and pleasant sensations (2). When regularly consumed, this tea may help promote healthier sleeping patterns as well as increase sexual pleasure for men (3).

Many people incorporate functional mushroom infused drinks into their daily routine because they are both naturally hydrating and delicious. A cold brew of mushroom tea can help satiate thirst during summer days while Reishi and Chaga tea offers the ideal way to wind down at bedtime.

DIRTEA’s Pure Mushroom Powders and Super Blends are specifically tailored for daily use – making it simple to create an engaging ritual around mushroom tea that fits seamlessly with your schedule.

Preparation

Mushroom tea offers an indulgent way to reap the health benefits of functional mushrooms, from relaxation, immune support and cognitive enhancement to just enjoying an enjoyable drink. Experiment with different flavors, dosages and brewing methods until you discover one that suits you for relaxation, immune support or cognitive enhancement. With just a few simple ingredients and some time at your disposal you can craft your perfect cup of mushroom tea that fits both your day and mood perfectly!

Start by starting with high-quality loose leaf tea or herbal blend, such as delicate leaves. A quality strainer/infuser should also be included to allow longer steep times and achieve an authentic cold brew mushroom tea flavor.

Once your chosen tea has brewed, add dried mushroom pieces or powder to the pot and bring to a simmer. While stirring, ensure any clumps of dried mushrooms are broken apart so they are evenly distributed across the liquid. Lower heat and allow mushrooms to steep for 20 to 30 minutes before straining using fine mesh strainer, cheesecloth or tea infuser to remove solid particles.

Step three is essential in order to release all of the beneficial compounds present in mushrooms into a liquid state and not degraded by high temperatures or oversteeping. Furthermore, straining before it cools completely is also critical since adding cold mushrooms or ingredients could change its flavor or nutritional value of finished tea products.

Once your mushrooms have steeped, strain and transfer to an airtight container for cooling and storage. Your mushroom tea should keep in the fridge for several days before its flavor and benefits begin to diminish. If it doesn’t fully come together for you, experiment with shorter brewing time or higher dosage of mushrooms – you might find what works for you best!

As temperatures warm up, cold brew mushroom tea offers an ideal way to revitalize morning and afternoon meetings. Try creating multiple batches of your preferred DIRTEA blend and keeping some extra jars chilled in the fridge – they make it easy to create and sustain a consistent routine! Keep in mind that functional mushrooms offer their greatest effects through regular consumption; having access to DIRTEA makes creating and sticking with such routine easier than ever!

Storage

Mushroom tea has quickly gained traction as an effective and nutritive beverage. Functional mushrooms such as reishi, chaga, lion’s mane and turkey tail contain many health-promoting bioactive compounds that may boost immunity function, reduce stress levels, enhance focus, promote cognitive wellness and aid digestion – and mushroom tea provides an easy and delicious way to tap these benefits without needing to consume the actual mushroom raw or cooked form directly.

Making mushroom tea at home is simple and can be customized to meet your individual health goals. Select from an array of ingredients and brewing methods to craft your ideal cup, from relaxing reishi tea before bed to powerhouse chaga tea for overall wellness or focus-boosting turkey tail brew in the morning. Be creative; experiment with various species and blends as well as herbs and spices until you find something deliciously unique that meets all of your requirements!

No matter if you brew your tea cold or hot, it’s essential that the finished product be stored correctly to protect its quality and ensure its optimal taste. For best results, store in an airtight container away from extreme temperature fluctuations, while storing near foods that give off strong aromas as this could affect its taste and alter its flavor profile.

When making tea, consider using an electric frother or shaker bottle to evenly mix all of the ingredients and ensure your desired temperature for optimal flavor and function is reached. This can ensure an optimal cup of brew!

If you want to enhance the tea-brewing experience, add turmeric or cinnamon as spices that not only add flavor, but also provide health-promoting antioxidants. These will boost both taste and health benefits simultaneously!

Add an aromatic mint sprig, lemon peel curl or sprinkle of sea salt to your brew to enhance its taste and add additional health benefits. These ingredients not only complement your chosen mushroom blend but also turn brewing into an enjoyable mindfulness moment – whether that means enjoying reishi, chaga or lion’s mane tea, mushroom coffee or some combination thereof, DIRTEA makes getting your daily dose easier than ever!
