What is betulinic acid and why does it matter?

Betulinic acid is a naturally occurring triterpenoid compound found in wild-harvested Chaga sclerotium. It is derived from the birch bark on which Chaga grows — which is why wild-harvested Chaga from birch trees contains betulinic acid, while cultivated Chaga products typically do not. It is one of the compounds that distinguishes genuine wild Chaga from inferior cultivated alternatives.

Why is the Chaga wild-harvested rather than cultivated?

Chaga grows naturally on birch trees in cold northern climates and derives key bioactive compounds — including betulinic acid and high melanin concentrations — from the birch tree itself. Cultivated Chaga grown on artificial substrates cannot replicate this bioactive profile. The wild-harvested sclerotium used in this blend is sourced for its consistent compound content.

What role does beetroot play in this blend?

Beetroot is the second largest ingredient by weight in this blend at 32.54%. Organic beetroot is a natural source of dietary nitrates and antioxidants, contributing to the deep pink-red colour of the drink. Combined with raw cacao and Chaga, it creates a layered antioxidant profile across three distinct ingredient sources.

TEELIXIR ORGANIC MUSHROOM BEET LATTE (WITH CHAGA)

A caffeine-free latte blend that pairs the natural sweetness of Australian organic beetroot with the earthy richness of raw cacao and the traditional potency of Chaga mushroom. Teelixir's Mushroom Beet Latte is designed as a vibrant, warming alternative to coffee — delivering a deep, naturally pink-hued drink with a smooth chocolate-beet flavour profile.

The Chaga mushroom in this blend is a 10:1 dual extract from 100% wild-harvested sclerotium, bringing its characteristic beta-glucan polysaccharides and betulinic acid alongside the naturally occurring nitrates in beetroot and the antioxidant-rich profile of raw cacao.

All ingredients are certified organic. No caffeine, no sugar added, no artificial flavours or colours. Third-party tested for purity and heavy metals.

THE HERITAGE

This blend draws on two deep traditions: Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) has been brewed as a tea across Siberia and Northern Europe for centuries — during WWII, it was widely used in Finland as a coffee substitute. Beetroot has been cultivated since ancient Rome for its vibrant colour and nutritional density. Cacao has been consumed as a ceremonial drink in Mesoamerica for over 3,000 years. Teelixir brings these three traditions together in a single, certified organic latte blend.

HOW TO ENJOY

Serving suggestion: 2 teaspoons (approximately 6g) mixed with hot water or your preferred milk.

Classic latte — mix 2 tsp with hot water, top with frothed oat or coconut milk
Iced beet latte — blend with plant milk and ice for a refreshing pink drink
Smoothie bowl base — blend with frozen banana and berries for a vibrant breakfast bowl
Hot chocolate twist — mix with warm milk and a touch of honey for a chocolatey-beet treat
Evening wind-down — caffeine-free — enjoy any time of day, including before bed

Mix or froth well for best results. The blend has a naturally sweet, earthy-chocolate flavour. Add honey or maple syrup to taste.

The Science

Each serve of the Mushroom Beet Latte delivers 0.60g of wild-harvested Chaga 10:1 dual extract — equivalent to approximately 6g of raw Chaga sclerotium. The blend also provides natural nitrates from organic beetroot and antioxidants from raw cacao.

Key bioactive compounds: Betulinic acid (from birch-derived Chaga sclerotium), beta-glucan polysaccharides, melanin pigments.

Vlassopoulou et al. 2021 (PMID 33876798): Systematic review of 34 RCTs on fungal beta-glucans (including Chaga). Consistent improvements in immune markers, reduced cold and respiratory infection incidence, and wellbeing improvements. No adverse events recorded.
Betulinic acid: A naturally occurring triterpenoid compound found in Chaga, derived from the birch bark on which wild Chaga grows. Unique to birch-hosted Chaga — not present in cultivated Chaga products.
Antioxidant capacity: Chaga has one of the highest recorded ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) values of any natural food source, driven primarily by its melanin pigment content.

Wild-harvested from birch trees in cold northern climates — the traditional growing condition that produces the highest betulinic acid and melanin concentrations. Chaga cannot be cultivated to the same bioactive standard as wild-harvested sclerotium. It has been used as a medicinal tea across Siberia and Northern Europe for centuries.
