chaga
inonotus obliquus
Chaga helps fortify our internal defenses while bolstering our resistance to life's little battles. When seeking robust immune support, revitalizing cellular health, calming internal turbulence, & boosting vitality, it is a sovereign remedy, & its antioxidant power reigns supreme.
Its majestic ability to SHIELD & harmonize the body has earned its place as a revered fungus for thousands of years in Siberian and Northern European cultures. Its dark, rugged appearance hints at the potent strength within: consistent use unlocks a fortress of well-being.
Chaga is especially valiant when it comes to immune fortification, cellular protection, internal inflammation regulation, & overall vitality enhancement. By supporting these systems, it enhances our stamina as well as our resilience against environmental and internal stressors.
The mushroom also helps promote equilibrium in the immune & cellular systems, as well as healthy, balanced inflammatory responses.
By addressing OXIDATIVE STRESS, Chaga eases INTERNAL DISHARMONY. It also supports cellular regeneration—not by forcing a change, but by nurturing a balanced internal environment, thus facilitating deeper, more restorative cellular function. This in turn helps to regulate our energy levels & build stronger overall health.
Increased awareness of these benefits has, however, boosted demand & lead to the occurrance of unsustainable harvesting practices in some areas- chaga grows very slowly, so overharvesting can strain wild populations. Lucky for us, Vermont’s sylvan hills are rich with this boreal gem, and by harvesting at most 70% of a given birch tree’s supply of the fungus, we ensure its ability to replenish.
Consistent, sustained use is the key to unlocking the treasure trove of Chaga’s benefits, so finding ways to incorporate it into your daily ritual is ideal. We steep ours for several hours in maple sap as it cooks down into syrup, doing the long decoction process for you- so all you have to do is pour- onto your waffles or into your coffee & cocktails!*

DARK COLOR, ROBUST TASTE
Much like the mythological beast who guides the dead to the afterlife, wild mushrooms are the death-eaters of the deep woods, transforming decay into potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, immuno-modulating nourishment. We extract ours in maple syrup made the old way: wood-fired, in a steamy sugar shack by the Tilton family who has been doing it for 4 generations.
Drizzle on waffles or pancakes, use to sweeten any recipe, or whisk into coffee, cocktails & other frothy drinks, for a dose of decadent, woodsy sweetness.
