Hi Tammy! I'm not sure how long you've been incorporating chaga in your life and what you are seeking from it but let us know if we can help! We take it daily and so do the animals here : ) Regarding the taste: we do NOT manipulate the taste / use artifical flavoring, etc. If the natural taste of pure organic charga doesn't appeal to you, you may add your own sweetener, etc. to it in a simple 'tea' or blend it into an elixir / tonic, like we do every signle day for a superfood medicinal hot chocolate experience : ) Again, reach out with any questions or for tips..or take a look at our Instgarm / TikTok pages for recipes, if you'd like inspiration w/o talking to us. Thank you for shraing your experience!
