Cherry Tree Bark*
Dandelion Root*
Wintergreen is the unmistakable top minty note of true root beer — cool, bright, and nostalgic from the first sip. It grows freely across the northern forests of Canada and the upper States, its red berries scattered through the moss beneath the pines. Wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens) provides natural pain-relieving, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties* primarily through its high concentration of methyl salicylate (a compound closely related to aspirin).
An evergreen shrub that grows the world over, from rocky deserts to nordic forests — its berries ranging from deep blue to milky violet, spicy and pine-bright on the tongue. Prized in kitchens and apothecaries alike since ancient times, juniper is the same wild note that gives gin its soul. Ours are gathered wild, never cultivated. These magical little berries also pack a staggering 87 antioxidant phytochemicals increasing catalase (reduces grey hair), and glutathione (master antioxidant).
The king of mushrooms, wild chaga contains one of the richest known sources of antioxidants, melanin, trace minerals, beta-glucans, and rare birch-born compounds like betulinic acid and superoxide dismutase. Ours grows wild on living birch trees in Ontario forests, where our founder Shane and his Grandfather harvest it at twenty-plus years of growth and dual-extract over many moons.
The cornerstone of homemade root beer since the early 1800s — sarsaparilla gives the elixir its deep, earthy sweetness. Indigenous traditions across three continents kept this root in constant use for generations of healing digestive disturbances, arthritis and skin problems like psoriasis, eczema, and dermatitis. Ours is Hemidesmus indicus, rare Indian sarsaparilla, harvested by a single family we work with directly.
Wild cherry bark lends the elixir its dark, stone-fruit sweetness. For centuries it was the most treasured bark in the North American herbalist's cabinet, brewed as a natural cough remedy. Coming directly from wild cherry trees, the bark contains the constituent “amygdalin” which soothes irritations and inflammation in the bronchial tubes that carry air from your windpipe to your lungs. Ours comes straight from wild cherry trees, never orchard-grown.
Considered a weed by the uninitiated — and one of the most nutritious plants on earth by everyone else. Root to flower, dandelion carries vitamins A, C, and K, calcium, magnesium, potassium. It also contains the soluble prebiotic fiber inulin, which feeds beneficial gut bacteria. In traditional European medicine, it is widely used to ease indigestion, gas, and poor appetite.
How to Make a Chaga Root Beer
Nostalgic and 100% magic, make a mushroom root beer float by adding 1 oz of black magic to a 6 oz glass of sparkling spring water (soda stream can be used), and make it float with a scoop of coconut vanilla ice cream. Fun for the whole family.

The Rarest Mushroom on Earth
The name Chaga (pronounced "cha-ga") originates from the Russian word for mushroom (czaga) - derived from the word for fungus. Only growing on one in every thousand birch trees, finding this mushroom is an otherworldly experience. We sustainably wild harvest our chaga mushrooms in Northern Ontario, Canada at peak maturity of 20 years+ so they contain a storehouse of medicinal* treasures.

Ask the Alchemists
Does it need to be refrigerated?
Yes — once opened, keep it cold. The formula is completely natural, with nothing artificial to preserve it; the herbs themselves hold the elixir's integrity for six months from brewing. Most orders are brewed fresh to order, so what arrives at your door hasn't been sitting in a warehouse — it's fresh from the forest.
Do you sustainably harvest your chaga?
It's the only way we harvest and we've been the online leaders in sharing that education of how to forage chaga mushroom sustainably for over a decade. Wild chaga takes twenty-plus years to reach its peak on a living birch, so we treat every mushroom like the slow-grown magic it is, taken by hand, only a portion from each, the rest left on the tree to keep growing.
WHY IS THE CHAGA BLENDED WITH HERBS INSTEAD OF ON ITS OWN?
Chaga doesn't work alone in nature, so it shouldn't work alone in a bottle. In the wild it grows on the birch tree, drawing its medicine* up through the bark. This was never a solo act and we honor that by synergizing it with complimentary northern botanicals, roots, barks, berries and herbs that grow amongst chaga in the forest like sarsaparilla, birch bark, burdock, licorice, dandelion, juniper and more.
Each of these are a folklore medicine in their own right, traditionally taken to aid digestion, so they support chaga being absorbed more completely.*
The end result is a full-spectrum elixir where every ingredient makes the others work better. It isn't more chaga we're after. It's more of the chaga and the forest around it that your body can actually use.
Does it contain sugar?
A soft light whisper of sugar, but less than one gram per serving, and there's a reason for it. We add a tad of organic cane sugar and organic blackstrap molasses to round the deep wild roots out the way the original herbal rootbeer recipe was designed. Much of the sweetness actually comes from our organic Bulgarian Licorice root. This is first and foremost an elixir built on an herbal concentration, not sweetness.
How long does a bottle last?
The 16.9 oz holds thirty-three servings — a month and change of daily spoonfuls. The 8 oz is sixteen, and the 32 oz is sixty-four, a two-month standing ritual.
