Our wild Alaska chaga is harvested by hand by a network of pickers in Alaska’s far north, near the Arctic Circle. Growing on birch trees in the northern boreal forest, chaga brings a distinctive earthy flavor to our teas and extracts. Brew a dark, warming cup of chaga tea to enjoy on its own or with citrus, spices, and a touch of birch syrup.

Wild Chaga Mushrooms
Chaga has been brewed into a dark, warming tea across the northern boreal forest for centuries, valued as a fortifying winter drink by the nomadic peoples and healers who lived among the birch trees where it grows.
We harvest ours by hand from wild Alaska birch in deep winter, when the tree is dormant and the conk holds its highest concentration of active compounds. Hammers Family Birch chaga comes straight from the tree. Most chaga sold today is myceliated grain, grown on substrate in a lab, and never forms the sclerotium, the hard black conk, or the compounds that come with it. Ours is the wild conk itself, carefully dried and minimally processed so it holds its full character, whether you steep it as tea, extract it, or slow-simmer it into a decoction.
