Is something wrong with it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNothing is wrong — Reishi is naturally and intensely bitter. The bitterness comes from triterpenes, the very compounds Reishi is valued for. A strong bitter taste is a sign of authentic, potent Reishi. Simmer with honey or Korean jujubes to round out the flavor into a smoother cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this Reishi from Korea or China?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e100% grown in Korea's clean regions under strict pesticide and heavy-metal standards. Much of the low-cost Reishi sold online is Chinese-grown with inconsistent quality. Kosbee Reishi is Korean-grown, cleanly washed, pre-sliced, with country of origin clearly labeled on every pouch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long should I simmer Reishi, and can I reuse the slices?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimmer 3–5 slices in 1 liter of water for 30–60 minutes — longer simmering yields a deeper, stronger brew. The slices can typically be re-simmered one more time before discarding. Only the brewed liquid is consumed; the woody slices are not eaten.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes Reishi tea contain caffeine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, Reishi mushroom tea is 100% caffeine-free. It's traditionally enjoyed as a calming evening drink and makes an excellent caffeine-free alternative to coffee, suitable any time of day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy is pre-sliced Reishi better than whole?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhole Reishi is woody and rock-hard — cutting it at home is extremely difficult and a frequent customer complaint. Kosbee's pre-sliced Reishi is cut to an ideal brewing thickness so the active compounds extract evenly, with no tools or prep work needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:12px;color:#666;margin-top:24px;\"\u003e* These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
