Chaga is a slow maturing mushroom which grows primarily on birch trees, obtaining nutrients from its host and making these nutrients available to us.
Chaga resembles a piece of burnt charcoal and therefore it is sometimes referred to as “Tinder Mushroom”.
Throughout history, Wild Chaga has been most widely consumed as a naturally caffeine-free tea. This delicious tea has a subtle woodsy vanilla flavour, and is hand picked in the wild Canadian boreal forest of Ontario and Quebec by our friend. He chooses only mature chaga on mature birch trees, thereby preserving the beauty of the forest and helping to restore the health of the ecosystem. Showing gratitude towards each tree, he communicates his intent to share this gift with those who chose to use it.
GY CHAGA arrives to you cut up into chunks in “Tea Cut” form. This raw alkaline superfood is ready for you to decoct ideally with some warm spring water…creating a nutrient-packed cup of longevity and health!
