The dominant note is the deep, woody, slightly mineral taste of chaga, which reads more like a mild roasted root than a typical fruit tea. Black currant adds a clean, tangy berry brightness that cuts through the earthiness, while peppermint contributes a cooling, menthol finish that lingers after each sip. Stevia provides a gentle, rounded sweetness — enough to take the edge off the tartness without tasting sugary or artificial. There is no added sugar, honey, or syrup in the blend. If you prefer a sweeter cup, you can extend the steep time slightly (which also increases inulin extraction) or add your own sweetener. The overall profile is balanced: not cloying, not aggressively herbal, and easy to drink daily either hot or cooled as an iced infusion.
