Chaga is a mushroom that mostly grows with the Birch tree all through the boreal regions of our planet. Unlike the soft mushrooms found in the produce aisle, Chaga does not bear fruit, but instead forms a sclerotia - a large growth with an outer black skin.

Chaga grows where the tree’s bark has been compromised and is very slow growing, and one pound sclerotia may take up to 10 years to grow.

An earthy and pleasant tasting tea, Chaga has long traditions of use that continue today.
