How to Brew Chaga Tea
Add half the bag of Black Magic Wild Chaga Tea pieces to a pot, kettle, or slow cooker and cover with fresh spring water. Bring to medium-high and let it brew — one hour minimum, eight if you can wait. The longer it steeps, the more the chaga gives.
When the water turns a rich, dark amber, it's ready. Pour a cup, and keep the pot going — the brew works as tea, coffee base, or soup stock.
One or two cups daily. Morning as an earthy coffee replacement; evening as the night's last cup.
Between Chaga Brews
After each cup, top the chaga pot up with fresh spring water and set the lid back on. No fridge needed — the pot lives on your stove, as long as you brew it every few days.
Re-brew the same pieces until the water no longer turns dark — two to three weeks of daily pots. When the color's gone, the water-soluble compounds are spent, but the chaga isn't finished: drop the pieces into a good artisan spirit — whiskey, scotch, vodka — and let it sit six weeks. The alcohol pulls what the water couldn't. You've just made your first tincture; ours took years to perfect →

Black Gold: Chaga is Nature's Original Coffee Alternative
Wildcrafted chaga mushroom is the best coffee alternative on earth, after-all, the Finns would know...
During World War 2, coffee was one of the casualties of war and hard to come by due to trade routes being blocked. In Finland, where chaga had already risen in popularity as a remedy to treat many ailments, it began to take on a new function: a coffee substitute.
This says a lot, considering Finland has the highest per capita consumption of coffee in the world. Chaga was able to replace coffee with its energizing properties providing a cognitive and mental boost.
Chaga mushroom brewed tea flavor evens resembles coffee, with tasting notes of dark coffee, birch and vanilla, creating a taste reminiscent of roasting marshmallow's on a campfire beside a pristine lake in the forest.

Black Magic Chaga is Regenerative
Our chaga mushroom is hand-harvested sustainably from live birch trees in Ontario, Canada and the Adirondack Mountains of Upstate NY at its peak maturity of 20+ years - allowing it to collect record high levels of nutrients, minerals and antioxidants.
- Harvesting mature chaga only (20+ years old), leaving plenty for the tree to be sustained & nourished.
- Geotagged locations to stay present with growth patterns to keep this denizen of the forest proliferating.
- Blessing the tree pre-harvest, speaking words of gratitude for the forest providing such a rare and divine treasure. Respect the magic.
Indulgence in Black Magic supports responsible mushroom foraging & education. Thank you for helping us take care of the forest.
Ask the Alchemists
How much chaga do I use per pot?
A small handful — three or four nuggets per liter of spring water is the classic ratio, or half the bag for a big slow-cooker pot that pours all week. Too strong, use less next time; too light, add a nugget. The forest is forgiving.
Should I boil it?
No — chaga is ideally brewed low and slow, never at a rolling boil. Bring the pot to a gentle simmer and hold it there; the old way is patience over heat. An hour minimum, eight if you can wait, until the water runs dark amber — darker than strong black coffee is the mark of a proper brew.
Can I drink it iced?
Absolutely — chilled chaga over ice is the forest's answer to cold brew. Make a big pot, strain it into a mason jar, and it keeps in the fridge for up to two weeks. Sweeten with honey or maple syrup, or pour it with your favorite creamer; the earthy vanilla depth holds up to all of it.
How long does one bag last?
Longer than any tea you've owned. The bag holds a thirty-day supply on its own and every handful re-brews up to seven times before it's spent. Brewed daily, one bag runs a month and well beyond; the last pot costs you nothing but water.
Do you sustainably harvest your chaga?
It's the only way we harvest. Wild chaga takes twenty-plus years to reach its peak on a living birch, so we show respect to every mushroom. We forage by hand, only a portion from each and leave about 20% or more on the tree to keep growing. Sustainability isn't some policy for us; it's a way of life and our core philosophy when foraging anything from the forest.
