Chaga Therapy
Phyto tea from Siberian Chaga mushroom, made by matcha (mattya) method, is a special remedy with strengthening and preventive properties. It is one of the strongest products for holistic therapy and has adaptogenic properties that help the body fight stress, fatigue, and anxiety.
Chaga mushroom is an ideal product to organize the natural organic state of our body, which is important for nourishing the brain and, therefore, to strengthen not only physical but also mental health. Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) is a tree mushroom that grows on birch trees, where the natural fermentation process takes place, especially in areas with a variable climate (warm-cold, wet-dry, and here the Siberian zone stands out especially).
To obtain a quality drink, the mushroom must be prepared properly according to shamanic tradition. First of all, the mushroom is collected at a certain time, and only healthy mushrooms of the best quality are used. Then they are dried and ground to a fine powder of matcha. This helps to preserve all useful substances of the mushroom. An important factor in the successful preparation is the correctly conducted first phase – the interaction with the whole body of the mycelium (mushroom), which allows you to save all the useful biologically active compounds.
Phyto tea from Chaga is one of the strongest neutralizers of oxidative processes. Tea nourishes and satisfies hunger perfectly, and this allows you to consider the drink as a complete substitute for breakfast and even lunch (which will be a great help in the process of weight loss).

Features
An important condition for the quality of phyto tea is not only the correct process of obtaining and preparation of the tea but above all the quality of the original raw materials, which helps to reveal the benefits of the product. To achieve the objectives associated with plants, it is important to interact with the bearers of traditions in which plants are respected and are well aware of how to unlock their power – with healers, shamans, herbalists. Otherwise, we will be dealing with useless raw material.
If the mushroom is harvested correctly, it is not toxic and will do no harm. Phyto-matcha from Chaga is obtained from the mushroom outgrowths close to the top of the birch. The drying process is difficult, and sometimes time-consuming because it is important to remove moisture proportionally. The mushroom is collected during the fall and spring.
How to Take it
Use half a tablespoon of powder per 100 grams of water. Ideally, dissolve in a cappuccino maker. The consumption of Chaga phyto tea is a special process or even an art. The process is comparable to the experience of time. It gives a state of what I would call ” the Hemingway state,” which required a consistent time of experience, which he achieved with a cigar.
Tea should be drunk slowly and steadily, without being distracted by conversation or taking your attention away from your drink. It is ideal to drink 200 grams for at least 20-25 minutes. At the same time, it is important to monitor the temperature and maintain a 70-75 ° C temperature.
Storage
The storage of Chaga depends on the way it is prepared and dried. If Chaga is not dried, it can begin to spoil, but if you over-dry it, it will destroy most of the useful properties. It depends on what kind of packaging you prefer to store chaga in.
It is optimal to use foil packaging, but it is effective only for perfectly prepared Chaga, otherwise, you need paper packaging. The issue is also the humidity of the room, which can affect the quality of the Chaga. Phyto tea “Chaga” is packed in foil packaging, which is important to keep closed at all times and in a dry place.
With proper storage and selected packaging shelf life can be unlimited, if the chaga reaches a state of crystallization.
If stored improperly, the average shelf life is 2 years.
