Known colloquially as the "King of Mushrooms", Chaga is a very exceptional ingredient, and creates an equally exceptional infusion. Chaga has a smooth, rich flavour that any avid herbal drinker will fall for. In the world of both mushrooms and herbals, Chaga is truly one of a kind. It in no way resembles the kind of mushrooms most are familiar with; instead, this mushroom grows mainly on birch trees, and its appearance could easily be mistaken for a growth of burnt bark. In spite of such an odd appearance, this mushroom has a long history of cultivation, and is greatly respected in the herbal world. Chaga has earned a number of dynamic titles, such as “The King of Mushrooms” and the “Diamond of the Forest”. It can be found in birch forests almost everywhere, including Russia, Korea, some parts of Europe, the northern U.S. and Canada.
