That’s intentional. Chai Chai Love is built around real spices and functional mushrooms rather than relying heavily on black tea. Our Original contains just a small amount of Assam tea, giving you about 13 mg of caffeine per serving, while our Caffeine-Free version contains none.

We created it for people who love chai but want the flavor and ritual without making caffeine the center of the experience.

Chai Chai Love starts with real chai ingredients—not an instant drink powder. The blend is built around certified-organic spices that you actually simmer, combined with 1,000 mg of Lion’s Mane, Reishi, Cordyceps and Chaga fruiting-body extracts per serving.

We use hot-water-extracted mushroom fruiting bodies with no grain or fillers, and they’re third-party tested for beta-glucans. Our Original also uses just a small amount of Assam black tea—about 13 mg of caffeine per serving—with no added sugar.

The result is a bold, spice-forward chai for people who want the flavor and ritual of real chai, functional ingredients, and the convenience of having everything already thoughtfully blended together.

No. Lion’s Mane, Reishi, Cordyceps, and Chaga are functional mushrooms—not psychedelic mushrooms. They do not contain psilocybin and won’t cause a psychedelic high.

We use certified-organic fruiting-body extracts for their naturally occurring compounds, including beta-glucans, as part of the wellness-focused blend.

Chai Chai Love is made with real food ingredients, including traditional spices such as ginger, fennel, cinnamon, cardamom and turmeric. Many of these spices have long histories of use in food and traditional wellness practices, including during pregnancy and postpartum.

The main reason we recommend checking with your healthcare provider is our functional mushroom extracts. Lion’s Mane, Reishi, Cordyceps and Chaga are non-psychoactive functional mushrooms, but there simply isn’t much research yet on concentrated mushroom extracts specifically during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Our Original is also very low in caffeine at about 13 mg per serving, and our Caffeine-Free version contains no caffeine.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding are highly individual, so if you’re expecting, nursing, taking medications, or managing a health condition, we recommend sharing the ingredient list with your healthcare provider to decide what’s right for you.

Yes. Chai Chai Love was created to be enjoyed as part of a daily wellness routine. Each serving combines real spices with 1,000 mg of functional mushroom extracts, and our Original has only about 13 mg of caffeine.

As with any food or functional ingredient, listen to your body and enjoy it in the amount that works for you. If you’re taking medications or managing a specific health condition, it’s always a good idea to check with your healthcare provider about ingredients that are new to your routine.

A little sediment is completely normal—and it’s part of what makes Chai Chai Love different from an instant or highly filtered drink.

Our chai is made with real whole and ground spices plus functional mushroom extracts, so some of the finer particles naturally make it through your strainer and settle at the bottom. That can include cardamom, turmeric, cloves, black pepper, nutmeg, cacao, carob, and components from the mushroom extracts.

Those mushroom extracts contain naturally occurring compounds such as beta-glucans and other polysaccharides, which are part of what makes functional mushrooms so interesting from a wellness perspective. Research is also exploring how mushroom polysaccharides interact with the gut microbiome and may have prebiotic properties. 

If you don’t mind a little texture, give your cup a gentle swirl and enjoy it. That’s what I do. If you prefer a smoother chai, simply use a finer strainer—but I don’t recommend sifting the dry blend before brewing, since you can remove a meaningful portion of the spices and mushroom extracts along with it.
