Maine Chaga Tea Fine Mushroom Powder |100% Wild-Harvested in Maine & Atlantic Canada | Not an Extract but Whole Raw Powder | 4oz

I got sick when I missed a couple days of my chaga routine. Got home and recovered fairly quickly in one way and in others, it's taken the edge off.I'm pretty happy with it.Prep:*hot water, coffee grounds, probably 1 tsp of chaga (this is going to last me forever even using this much!)*steep for about 15 minutes*strain into coffee mug with mesh strainer*add hot water to top of mug and either let sit a bit longer or dip in the strainer a few times to help move around the particlesIt wasn't an instant love for the flavor, but now it tastes fine with my coffee in this way. I like clean tasting coffee, and having a strainer I can clean easily being the only thing that could possibly add funky flavor helps. The coffee masks the chaga flavor.Chaga on its own I liked okay in small amounts in soup (no filter).I'm fairly susceptible to fine grit, it's annoying and gross. There's a miniscule amount of powdery...feel...and a bit condensed goop at the bottom of my coffee cup. I don't drink that though. I'm sure if a person does keep mixing, it'd be a lot more gritty than what I'm experiencing just letting the excess sediment fall to the bottom. I don't really experience any grit, just a powdery sensation when I've neared the end.I drink my coffee with chaga black. No sugar. No milk.Anyway...prevented full blown UTI. That's pretty great.Also take multivitamins, Vitamin D, Vitamin C with bioflavanoids, cal-mag, hyland cell salts (trace minerals), and brush my teeth with a calphos powder and tea tree oil. I'm not sure that info will or will not help anyone when choosing this, but just putting that out there for those that think it's all the chaga or all of something else. I take the vitamin C only for proper absorption of other vitamins.For my coffee mix, I drink at least 3 cups a day. This is a lot of caffeine for some. If you're not fond of caffeine, you could feasibly go with decaf as you near bedtime or even all day.Anyway, biggest point to make is that a good mesh strainer can be rinsed and washed easily and will filter enough big particles with normal ground coffee to not have much issue filtering out the most annoying grit. otoh, using teabags may help some people.I'll keep taking this because I've been so quickly getting over infections without the use of antibiotics. For me, this is unheard of. I've also never gotten rid of a UTI without antibiotics, so that alone should say a lot.If you are sick, please see a doctor before relying on medicinal mushrooms! I can offer no medical advice as I am not a doctor. Also, once you start, don't stop if you'll be around people. That was a huge error on my part! :)

Good quality use it in my morning coffee

First time buyer/user of this product and chaga in general, but for it being wild harvested, 4oz is a good bit for the price you pay I think. It's likely that if you're here looking at the product page, you already know why chaga is a good addition to a diet aside from maybe wanting new earthy tasting things. It tastes good for that genre of flavor, and if you weren't aware that it's probably good for your diet then you should look into it more.

1st time user. Love that is has little taste to it. This can go into any drink, can be sprinkled on a salad. Whatever you want. Enjoy!

This is a break from coffee and Tea.

Very finely ground. Makes a uniform hot drink every time. It comes from Maine instead of outside the country. I make a hot drink with this, ground cinnamon and turmeric. When I drink it every day I can definitely tell a difference in finger stiffness. The difference is most noticeable when I stop drinking it for a few days.

When I noticed that I m having more allergies, that's when I realize that this product had ran out a few days ago. Makes my respiratory system very stable. I did have asthma, bronchitis in the past, so I have to be extra careful when I get sick. So this keeps me away from cold. It's a good value for the money. It lasts me a out 3 months for 30 bucks a pack. That's good right?, if u can't get sick.

This dark brown granular substance is rather difficult to evaluate because it has no detectable flavor, and the widely acclaimed therapeutic benefits are not immediately obvious. I purchased it because of the many claims I have read and heard about health benefits, but it's too early to determine whether I am experiencing any. I am adding about 1/4 to half teaspoonful to a cup of coffee at least once daily. It doesn't dissolve, but it does hydrate and settle to the bottom of the cup rather quickly. In conclusion, it is not unpleasant in any way but I can't evaluate it for any health or therapeutic claims.
