Chaga chunks are very pure and very similar to the consistency one would find in a natural environment. These chunks are usually offered in size between 2-6 inches and could be brewed the way they are, or ground farther into smaller pieces, usually called nuggets, or even farther into a coarse powder.

Chaga powder is simply grounded chunks. Some customers are looking for thin Chaga powder but we would not recommend using this product because it is very dusty and hard to brew.  One of the advantages of using raw coarse powder is decreased brewing time since water penetrates inside small Chaga particles much faster.

Our advice to dry Chaga as soon as possible after harvesting. Making a dried Chaga chunks takes time and patience. If you don’t have special equipment than it can be done overnight in an oven or under sunlight for a few days. For better and faster results, you can dehydrate Chaga in a 50 to 75-degree oven for several hours. This allows to obtain Chaga chunks with low humidity level and safe for storage.  Dry Chaga chunks should have consistency of a tree bark. For best results, store Chaga in a cool dry place after cleaning and drying.
