I’ve had a mushroom tea from Rishi that I actually liked a lot, so I decided to grab this tea in my last DT order. Unfortunately, this one has a super strong, strange bitter/tangy flavor that I really dislike. Since I haven’t noticed it in DT’s other chocolate tea, I guess that comes from the mushrooms. It’s too bad because I love mushrooms in general (recently ordered 12 pounds of them from the store!) but I must not like the variety they’re using here. Or maybe it’s the way the mushrooms are preserved. Not sure.

Plain chaga mushrooms steeped in hot water taste like dirt and wet decaying wood, so if that’s the funky taste, you’ve found the chaga. It’s alright on its own but I definitely wouldn’t try combining it with chocolate. Not sure what David’s Tea was thinking there.
Oh I like this one. I hate mushrooms, so it’s odd I like this – I can’t really notice the mushrooms?
Whenever I sort of violently dislike a tea that other people don’t seem to mind, I always wonder if I just got a weird batch or weirdly portioned cup. I should have tried it again as a test, but I swapped it probably too hastily!
