It is no secret that Reishi mushrooms are one of the healthiest mushrooms you can consume for your immune system. I was thrilled when a local tea company reached out and wanted me to try their new mushroom tea line. Yum Cha Tea Co. is located here in Jacksonville and has an avid fan base among tea lovers and anyone seeking to improve their overall health. The mushroom tea trend is only getting started and it is bursting with so many health benefits.
What Does Mushroom Tea Do To Your Body
Each mushroom variety offers different health-related boosts. Certain mushrooms help with your overall gut health, while others are known for their stress management benefits. After the holidays all of us are due a gut reset. The two types of mushrooms that come to mind in aiding the digestive reset are Chaga and Lion’s Mane. Chaga, for example, contains antioxidants and dietary fiber that may support digestive health and gut function, while Lion’s Mane may provide support by promoting beneficial gut bacteria. Drinking mushroom tea has also been known to help with cognitive function and also has anti-inflammatory effects.
Benefits Of Reishi Mushrooms
The Reishi Mushroom is a powerhouse shroom that has been linked to:
- boosting the immune system
- increase in stamina
- lower cholesterol
- helps with focus and calming
- treat lower urinary tract symptoms
With the addition of Reishi Mushrooms to their Organic Matcha Reishi Tea, Yum Cha has made it even easier for you to indulge in this ancient mushroom.
Yum Cha’s Mushroom Teas
Yum Cha sent over 4 of their most popular mushroom teas to try. There are 2 caffiene-based teas and 2 decaf/rooibos based. That means there is a tea to energize my day and also help me relax in the evening. Their mushroom teas include not only reishi but Chaga, Lion’s Mane, Turkey Tail, and Cordyceps. All the mushroom buddies are here and ready for you to have an outstanding New Year! Here are the links to the teas they sent over:
Is Mushroom Tea Better For You Than Coffee
I am not about to tell you to give up your morning cup of coffee in the place of mushroom tea! I simply just love the taste of my basic coffee and cream to get my day started. The good news is you don’t have to pick one or the other. Coffee and mushroom tea each have their benefits and with the various teas on the market today you can find one to fit what you are looking for. Personally, caffeinated tea has never been my favorite because it leaves me too jittery that is why I was thrilled to see the rooibos blends of these mushroom teas from Yum Cha Tea Co.
Let 2024 be the year you branch out and try mushroom tea. You might be pleasantly surprised by how much you enjoy it, I know I have been! Cheers to the best year yet!
