Maine Chaga Tea Fine Mushroom Powder, No Pesticides, 100% Wild-Harvested in Maine & Atlantic Canada, Not an Extract but Whole Raw Powder, 4oz, Not sourced from Overseas, Pesticide Free

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

This comes packaged as a finely ground powder. I have been drinking chaga in hot water daily. I sip on it all day using about 1/2 to 1 tsp per a 10ozs of water. This week my husband has suffered with a terrible head cold as has my step-daughter. I have been around them both and feel fine. The taste is not strong, a little coffee like but if you are a coffee or tea drinker you can add chaga to both. Worth the investment, organic. I will definitely be buying again.

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 is a break from coffee and Tea.

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!

I love medicinal mushrooms, and this is one of my favorites. I blend a scoop into my coffee for all the health benefits, to make my coffee more healthy. Gives me a little extra energy and more clarity of mind. I also read that it's really good for repairing dna and activating the third eye, and various spiritual benefits. Tons of antioxidants, so really good for immune system. Flavor is great, blends well, great value for money.

Love that this chaga is a USA organic product, my gripe is that it isn't fine ground enough. I blend it in with my bulletproof coffee, and it always ends up in the bottom of the cup, making a lot get wasted and not ingested.Otherwise seems like a very good quality chaga at a fair price
