A Mushroom Blend Steeped in Tradition:
Each of these mushrooms has a rich history in traditional herbal practices.
Reishi – Revered as the "Mushroom of Immortality" in ancient China, Reishi was so highly valued that it was reserved exclusively for emperors and their inner circles, symbolising longevity, spiritual strength, and balance.
Cordyceps – Once considered more valuable than gold, Cordyceps was treasured in Tibetan culture for its rarity and association with vitality, often reserved for royalty and esteemed healers.
Lion’s Mane – Known as the "Mountain Priest Mushroom," Lion’s Mane was traditionally used by Japanese monks to enhance mental clarity, focus, and meditative practices.
Chaga – Referred to as the "Gift from the Gods" in Siberian folklore, Chaga was brewed into a dark, fortifying tea believed to promote endurance and well-being during the harsh winter months.
Agaricus – Known as the "Mushroom of the Sun" in Brazil, Agaricus has long been cherished for its role in traditional Amazonian wellness practices, where it was used to promote vitality and well-being.
Shiitake – Often called the "Elixir of Life" in Chinese culture, Shiitake mushrooms have been cultivated for over 1,000 years and were once so prized that they were reserved for samurai warriors and noble families.
Maitake – Known as the "Dancing Mushroom" in Japan, legend has it that foragers would dance with joy upon discovering Maitake in the wild due to its rarity and value.
Mesima – Highly valued in Korean and Japanese herbal traditions, Mesima was often brewed into a dark tea and traditionally gifted to elders as a symbol of respect, strength, and longevity.
Together, these mushrooms create a powerful synergy that blends ancient wisdom with modern innovation.
