Preparation:
Simply add one teaspoon of mix to one cup of water and simmer for 20 min or longer on your stove. As Organic Chaga Chai simmers your kitchen will fill with the aroma of exotic organic spices. We recommend the addition milk and sweetener or choice to sweeten Chaga Chai. It can be prepared in advance and stored in the fridge for several days or prepared fresh for your guests! For a creamier brew substitute half of your water for milk of choice. This Chai can also be enjoyed black without cream or sweetener.
This Organic Chaga Chai Mix is a loose tea. It requires straining or the use of a tea bag before enjoying. At Laughing Lichen we line a strainer lined with Cheesecloth to filter out the loose tea before enjoying a steamy hot cup of Chaga Chai. Check out your local tea shop for re-usable or disposable tea bags as an alternative.
On a hot day enjoy an Iced Chaga Chai. Simply serve Chaga Chai Chilled with crushed ice. Delicious!
Chaga Chai’s Benefits:
The spices in our organic chaga chai tea are said to help increase circulation throughout the body. Ginger and cardamom aid in digestion. Nothing better on a cold day in the woods than having your thermos filled with Chaga Chai! It is our favorite refreshment when we are out collecting firewood for the winter. A cup of Chaga Chai will add colour to your cheeks and warm you up from head to toe! Traditional Chai tea has black tea in it. Our organic chaga chai mix is caffeine free as we have substituted the black tea with wild Chaga.
Wild Chaga Fungi is said to contain significantly high amounts of anti-oxidants. Chaga’s light nutty-vanilla flavour complements Chai spices perfectly. All of the wild Chaga in this tea is hand harvested by the Laughing Lichen Crew in a sustainable manner from wild unpolluted regions in Canada’s North. We conduct our annual harvest by snowshoe in the colder months of the year. All of the imported spice ingredients are certified organic.

Love this product- I often don’t add black tea. It smells so great while on the stove too. Makes an excellent gift

It’s just so, so good! I load up each winter. I take a morning cup on my bus commute, keeps me toasty & warm.
The flavour is delicious! I have previously purchased the Chaga chunks (also great!) and my husband would never join me in a cup, but he loves the chai!
Delicious and healthy, I’ve turned a bunch of friends on to this product. I highly recommend!

I love this tea!! In addition to drinking it hot, I like to chill it in the fridge over night. Makes for a nice cool drink to sip on..especially since it’s starting to heat up. Phew!! I’d recommend this product to family & friends…even strangers!

If you are a chai tea drinker, then you’ll absolutely love this blend!!! Love it in the morning and evening. With a little splash of maple syrup or coconut/almond milk, hits the spot. Yummy!
