A Boreal Specialty, Chaga is a highly-prized mushroom that grows only on Birch
trees.
It tastes like black tea with a slight woody flavour. It pairs wonderfully with coffee,
and the easiest way to use Chaga Powder is simply by adding 1/2 teaspoon to your
coffee grounds. Otherwise, enjoy it on its own as a soul warming & grounding tea.
Chaga has been used for many centuries and is a highly sought out food due to
its medicinal properties. In folk medicine it is often referred to as “Black Gold”. It helps
regulate many functions in the body, such as grounding the nervous system, stabilizing
blood pressure, and lowering blood sugar levels. It is also very high in antioxidants,
making it an effective anti-inflammatory which can help alleviate the pain from
inflammatory conditions such as arthritis.
Fun Tip: If you’re not a big tea drinker, you can still get the full health benefits of Chaga
by sprinkling the powder into a smoothie or soup.
