Mushroom tea may help your immune system, cognitive performance, stress levels and sleep quality all at the same time. Made with functional mushrooms like chaga, reishi, turkey tail and lion’s mane for optimal health benefits and taste!

But how long does mushroom tea take to work? While edible mushrooms’ effects may be felt quickly, its full benefits can take several hours due to liquids moving through your digestive system faster than solids. Furthermore, the quantity of mushrooms consumed may also have an impact on this timeline; for instance consuming large doses of psilocybin mushrooms could result in shorter peak impacts with earlier onset times and quicker initial effects.

Consistency is of utmost importance when taking mushrooms, be they powder, capsules, tinctures or in a tea blend – for optimal results it’s best to consume regularly as this allows your body to maximize the effects. This holds particularly true with tea blends containing mushrooms as their benefits become evident quickly upon regular consumption.

Mushroom tea has long been considered an ancient practice to improve immunity, reduce anxiety, regulate blood pressure, and promote overall wellbeing. By making mushrooms into tea form, bioactive compounds can easily be absorbed by your body – providing an ideal alternative to eating raw mushrooms which contain harsh chemicals and are difficult to digest.

To prepare mushroom tea, simply bring water to a boil and allow to simmer for 20-30 minutes at low temperature – it is essential that this simmer time be handled carefully as too hot of water may degrade mushroom extract and decrease its beneficial properties. Once finished, strain your tea using either fine mesh strainer, cheesecloth or tea infuser to remove solid particles and concentrate the liquid components.

Add-ins such as honey, lemon juice or ginger slices may help sweeten and boost nutritional value of this tea; however, for maximum flavor experience and to allow the natural earthy flavour of mushroom to come through.

While many can enjoy mushroom tea without adverse side effects, it’s wise to consult your healthcare provider before making changes to your diet or supplement regimen. Chaga mushrooms may interact with blood-thinning medications and pregnant/breastfeeding women should not use chaga mushrooms during these times. Furthermore, certain mushrooms can interfere with your body’s ability to produce natural bile needed for digestion.
