Our Siberian Chaga Mushroom tea is an extremely prized type of mushroom native to a few countries, yet interestingly - only those grown on the Birch Wood tree (and the colder the climate, the better) have any real medicinal value. For more reading on this, please see our article here. Please note we also have many other blends still containing 95% chaga here.
Our Chaga originally arrives to us in Chunks and is then cut down in-house to a more manageable size for tea.
This Chaga gathered in the Northern Urals. The nearest settlement is 200 km away, with no anthropogenic impact. Nearby is the Dyatlov pass. This is sourced from a very small family business in the heart of Siberia.
This is genuine Siberian Chaga Mushroom only using the first and second layers of the mushroom, not artificially grown, and picked hundreds of kilometers from populated areas in a harshly cold climate.
Wildcrafted in Siberia
