Short answer: Plain cordyceps powder tastes mildly earthy and savoury. Cordtea blends it with lemon and honey powders, so it tastes light, citrusy and gently sweet, closer to a lemon-honey herbal tea than a mushroom.
How to brew the perfect cup
- Boil about 150 ml of water and let it cool for a minute (to roughly 90°C). Boiling-hot water can make it taste flat.
- Dip one Cordtea tea bag into your cup.
- Steep for 3–4 minutes, then remove the bag.
4 easy Cordtea recipes
1. Iced Cordtea
Brew one tea bag in 100 ml of hot water for 4 minutes. Pour it over a glass full of ice, top up with chilled water and add a lemon slice. It's great for Indian summers.
2. Ginger Cordtea
Add 2–3 thin slices of fresh ginger to the cup while steeping. It's warming and makes a nice winter variation.
3. Mint Cordtea cooler
Brew as usual, cool it, then add crushed mint leaves and ice. It's refreshing after a workout.
4. Cinnamon evening Cordtea
Steep with a small piece of cinnamon stick for a cosy, caffeine-free cup in the evening.
FAQ
Can I add milk?
We don't recommend it. Lemon and milk can curdle, and milk hides the flavour.
Can I add extra honey or sugar?
You can, but Cordtea is already lightly sweet. Taste it first.
Can I reuse the tea bag?
Use one bag per cup for consistent flavour and content.
