We are constantly striving to improve our products just like our ever-growing company. Our Mushroom black tea boasts a new mushroom blend* with black tea, featuring organic Lion's Mane, Cordyceps, and wild-harvested Artist Conk. We take pride in our medicinal mushroom grounds and offer a whopping 48 grams of ground mushrooms, which is significantly more than a couple of hundreds of milligrams (1000 mg in 1 g) offered by most commercial brands. You can do the math and see the difference for yourself.

Our black tea has a rich, authentic flavor that is sure to satisfy your taste buds, while the added benefits of medicinal mushrooms make it an even more enticing choice.

*Why did we choose to incorporate Chaga, Lion's Mane, Cordyceps, and Artist Conk mushrooms in our coffee blend?
Chaga mushroom is a fungus that grows primarily on birch trees in cold climates. It's highly nutritious and may help boost immunity (Szychowski et al., 2020) prevent inflammation (Kou et al., 2020), fight cancer, lower blood sugar levels, and reduce cholesterol. This fabulous fungus has subtle vanilla, warm, earthy, and pleasantly bitter taste often sited as similar to a bland cup of coffee.
Lion's Mane Studies show this fungus has anti-inflammatory properties, can improve cognitive functioning (Lewis et al., 2021), manage depressive disorder (Chong et al., 2019), and even promotes the growth and health of your nervous system (Kushairi et al., 2019).
Cordyceps Just like chaga, cordyceps offers many similar health benefits, such as antioxidant, anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, anti-fatigue, anti-aging, anti-depressant, etc. (Das et al., 2021). Cordyceps also holds neuroprotective ability (Wei et al., 2021), and has been shown to improve energy by increase ATP productions (Choi et al., 2020).
Artist Conk Ganoderma applanatum is in the same mushroom family as Reishi. But a much under appreciated and under utilized as its counterparts. In recent researches, studies have shown Artist Conk, aka G. applanatum offers many of the same antioxidant, anticancer and antitumor properties as Reishi. Additionally, G. applanatum contains bioactive compounds that are CNS (central nervous susytem) anti-depressant (Hossen et al., 2021), heart-protective polysaccharides that are antidyslipidemic (help control healthy cholesterol levels) (Hossain et al., 2021), promoting healthy cardiovascular system (Jiang et al., 2021), and natural sun protection (Sułkowska-Ziaja et al., 2021).
