Hey there, we’re glad you stopped by our little corner of the internet! One of our most frequently asked questions we get is “what is a mushroom tea?” By generic definition a mushroom tea is steeping a mushroom in hot water. You then consume this hot water extraction to reap the medicinal mushroom benefits. But let’s dive a little deeper into what our mushroom teas actually are…
When we say tea, the technical term is hot water extraction when dealing with mushrooms. In order to reap the medicinal mushroom benefits you’ll need to steep the mushroom tea blend in hot water (approx. 200 degrees) for a minimum of 15 minutes to break down the chitin walls of the mushrooms and reap their benefits. This is what is known as a hot water extraction, aka tea.
