About Chaga

Chaga is not a mushroom cap but a hard, black growth on living birch. We buy it cleaned of wood, dried below 10% moisture and cut into chunks or tea cut.

Dried chaga is priced per kg online. Powder and hot-water or dual extracts are quoted to your specification and come with a certificate of analysis.
