Chaga mushrooms grow on Birch trees in the coldest regions of the Northern Hemisphere and are well known for boosting immune systems and providing natural energy boosts without caffeine. This tea features a mild plant-like taste rich with Vitamin C and Zinc content and is 100% organic without fillers, artificial ingredients, preservatives or soy products.

Adaptogen

Chaga fungus grows on birch trees in northern North America and Russia. It’s considered an adaptogen and contains numerous vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phytonutrients; traditionally it’s been used in traditional medicine to manage stress while simultaneously increasing immunity and fighting cancer; research is limited so always consult a healthcare provider before taking herbs or supplements for personal health issues.

Adaptogens are non-specific substances designed to increase an organism’s resistance against physical, chemical and biological stresses. By neutralizing these stressors and restoring balance in the body, adaptogens provide relief. Most adaptogens have not been clinically studied prior to being taken by individuals; so use with caution.

If you’re new to chaga tea, seek loose-leaf varieties that are organically grown. When creating your own batch, select large chunks of chaga and steep them for at least 15 minutes in boiling water before straining before enjoying this unique beverage. Chaga has a subtle, earthy taste that pairs nicely with milk or other dairy-based foods dietary additives – giving your palate something new to experience every time!

Chaga can be harvested at any time of year, but wintertime is generally best for harvesting it. You’re more likely to spot it among trees without leaves, making harvesting much simpler and simpler when alive fungus is in existence. If this fails you, dried chaga is also readily available from most health food stores and online retailers.

As purchasing bulk chaga can save money and maximize its benefits, it is wise to do so in order to experience them fully. Chaga fungus is highly durable and can be stored for months in dark and cool places. Once it has fully dried out it can be cut into various sizes for use in different kinds of tea blends such as chunks, coarsely ground or finely ground forms.

Antioxidant

Chaga fungus boasts one of the highest antioxidant levels among any species of fungi, providing powerful compounds that protect cells from damage and aging while simultaneously inhibiting rancidity in fats, helping lower cholesterol, improving glucose metabolism in diabetics and supporting immune system functions – and it may even slow tumor growth by protecting against mutation that may turn cells cancerous.

An antioxidant is defined as any chemical compound that, when present at low concentrations relative to an oxidizable substrate, delays or prevents its oxidation. They may be either natural or synthetic compounds and include free-radical scavengers, singlet oxygen quenchers, peroxide inactivators, metal-ion chelators and others with various modes of action such as tertiary butyl hydroxy quinone (TBHQ), butylated hydroxy toluene (BHA), propyl gallate esters etc. These compounds often achieve synergism; meaning they perform better together than individually.

Plants produce many phenolic antioxidants such as flavonoids and polyphenols as natural antioxidants, including chain-breaking flavonoids that have the ability to prevent molecules from being oxidized by reacting with them to detach an electron or hydrogen atom from their reactive sites. Other phenolics have the capacity to donate hydrogen which neutralizes lipid peroxidation redox reactions; some examples of natural antioxidants are tocopherols, ascorbic acid, vitamin C, carotenoids.

Other antioxidants are found naturally within our bodies as enzymes such as superoxide dismutases and catalase, proteins that break the chain reaction leading to oxidation. Additional antioxidants are often added to food products in order to prevent rancidity due to oxidation, such as vitamins A and E or spice extracts such as cloves (Eugenia caryophyllata), cinnamon (Cinnamonum zeylanicum) or rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis). They may either be natural or synthetic.

Most people who drink chaga will do so as a tea, which has a pleasant, subtle mushroom-free flavor that can be enjoyed anytime of day and does not contain caffeine – indeed it has more antioxidants than green or acai teas!

If you decide to create chaga tea, it is essential that you utilize the proper equipment. A hatchet or saw will be required to harvest the fungi that grows on birch trees – it can reach heights of 40 feet! As it would not be sustainable to cut live trees for their spores, harvesting should only occur postmortem.

Energy Booster

Chaga truly lives up to its name as a superfood. Packed with antibacterial, antifungal and antitumor properties as well as powerful antioxidants – more potent than blueberries and green tea antioxidants- it may help control blood sugar levels for diabetics as well as curing cancer – it has quickly become an incredibly popular energy booster and popular health food choice.

Chaga mushrooms resemble black cankers on paper birch trees and thrive in coldest areas of the Northern Hemisphere, providing evidence of its resilience. Their survival proves just how resilient this tough and resilient organism truly is – its tough coal-black exterior coating protects a soft interior while their long lives show just how tough and resilient this creature truly is. Chaga can be consumed either as tea (chaga chunks or powder are steeped in hot water for several minutes before drinking it directly) or by creating a tincture (involving dual extraction using alcohol and water extraction processes).

While much research exists to back the benefits attributed to chaga, more is still necessary in order to establish its efficacy as a cancer and other serious disease treatment option. While antibiotic and antitumor properties exist within it, further investigation must take place in order to establish its viability as an anticancer agent and treatments against other serious ailments. It contains beta-glucans, polysaccharides and betulinic acid compounds which reduce cholesterol while helping the body balance hormones naturally.

Chaga can help boost your energy levels without caffeine or other stimulants, or try other natural energy-boosting foods, like berries, nuts, seeds, and beans containing healthy fats, complex carbs, and proteins that provide a steady supply of energy throughout the day. For optimal health and well-being it is also important to stay hydrated and consume a balanced diet in order to maintain optimal wellness.

Natural Sweetener

Sugar has earned itself an undeservedly poor reputation, and rightly so. Sugar increases calorie intake, encourages weight gain, and may contribute to chronic diseases like type II diabetes. But is there such a thing as natural sweeteners that are healthy in moderation? Janis Isaman of My Body Couture says some naturally sweet foods such as bananas (containing both pectin and soluble fiber), dates, and unsweetened applesauce may provide sufficient sweetness without raising blood sugar levels too quickly.

Buddha Teas’ Chaga Mushroom Tea provides a gentle energy boost without caffeine, making it suitable for consumption at any time of the day or night. Grown on Birch trees in cold climates, its delicate plant-like flavor is earthy yet pleasant – pairing perfectly with adaptogenic herb Ashwagandha Root (which supports immunity and can be found in India’s Ayurvedic tonic to restore rejuvenation), prebiotic chicory root and deep-roasted Ramon Seeds to form an exquisite and soothing blend that can be enjoyed either alone or combined with milk and honey for additional pleasure!
