Carrots. This tastes like carrots. That would be my uninformed guess. It really tastes nothing at all like mushrooms. I bought this from the local shop, mainly for health purposes, mainly for days when I know I have eaten too many carbs (or to put more funly: bagels, rye bread, and turkey stuffing, etc.) Trying to get the chagas to counteract the carbs in a decaf fashion. The chagas here is chopped quite finely, allowing quite a bit of it to sift through the tea filter. But that just means healthier, right? And more carrots. (The description says “vanilla notes”. Nope. Carrots!)
Steep #1 // 1 teaspoon for a full mug // 25 minutes after boiling // 4-5 minute steep
Steep #2 // just boiled // 10 minute steep
Flavors: Carrot
I had wondered what Chaga tasted like. Considering that I like the occasional savory blend with dried carrot pieces, maybe I should pick some up! Carrot and Nettle leaf has been my favorite recently.
Well, to be fair to chaga, I don’t think I have ever had it on its own before. I do have occasional blends with chaga as an ingredient, and I really don’t think it would usually taste like carrot. I am also not a mushroom fan, so if it actually tasted like mushrooms, I would probably avoid chaga… but maybe I just haven’t had fresh mushrooms IN A WHILE (decades) and do not remember what mushroom tastes like…
This note made me miss those savory infusions that Numi used to make ha ha! There was one with carrot and I think ginger?
yes, I think I had one teabag of those Numi carrot teas at some point. :)
Yes, I think it was Numi’s savory teas as well as a tea blending TTB I joined that included both carrot and dandelion leaf that started me on my savory tea journey.
