Not bitter at all. Adding nothing else to it since it tastes fine to me.

I suffer from a condition akin to Parkinson's Disease. It causes my head to tremble or pull to the left side. For 2 decades I've undergone every 3 month cycles of botox injections to neutralize the overactive neck muscles responsible. So, over the course of 20 years, I've been on somewhat of a perennial quest to identify a single panacea so as to avoid having to take too many supplements in an effort to quell my ailment. A single supplement approach is also very cost effective. I also prefer to take food based supplements over those that contain fillers and non nutritive ingredients. It is for all these reasons and more that I bought this particular product (though through another online seller) after viewing a youtube video posted by someone with the same medical condition who claimed reishi banished his symptoms. Indeed! Soon after trying the product my spasms began to abate. I was astounded. However, after a week or so of taking it by mixing a teaspoon of powder in a cup of hot water the spasms resumed and I began to find this product unpalatable. (It's kind of bitter.) Consequently, it was cast to the back of the fridge. Fast forward to 6 months later-- where a summertime smoothie craving took hold. Guess what I began to blend into my smoothies?? So, after an entire summer of sipping smoothies (with a sprinkle of reishi) I checked in with my neurologist who found my spasming was virtually non-existent. More specifically, the large muscle on the right side of my neck did not need to be injected!!!! I said nothing to the doc, but I can only attribute this good news to reishi. Otherwise, maybe a kind of synergy occurred between the 4 things recently added to my regimen. The combo: blueberries, blackberries (in my smoothies) a daily dose of hemp seed oil, and my Garden of Life vitamin powder. There is nothing else I can think of that would account for my sudden and drastic improvement. I intend to continue taking this product even if only for general over all health.

I got this mushroom powder to help with energy. I do feel more energised when drinking it, without the jitters of caffeine.It doesn’t have a strong taste at all if you are using 1/3 of a teaspoon per cup of water. My husband once made it for me with a tablespoon of this powder and THAT was very bitter! 😅 I usually add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to make it sweet but I also drink it without sweeteners and it tastes fine.

The media could not be loaded. I was interested in reishi after being suggested Organo’s king coffee with reishi spores. I wasn’t feeling up for the MLM, so I tried this instead. I know this one isn’t the spores, but it’s at a good price. This may be my gateway into mushroom adaptogens! I like how it makes me feel (possibly placebo?). It tastes like black tea - tart and bitter. Mix it with some honey and it’s great!In regards to packaging, I had to move the product to a mason jar because the bag would explode my countertop with reishi powder every time I opened the bag. It also clumps a lot, and takes significant effort to break up the clumps. Would still buy again.

This is a difficult review because I am sure some folks will not believe my experience with Terrasoul's Red Reishi Mushroom Powder. Here goes:I suffer from fibromaylgia and was recently diagnosed with COPD. For 10 years I was confined to a reclining chair. I was so low functioning that my husband literally had to do everything for me. I was under a medical doctor's care and there just did not seem to be much hope for getting me back on my feet. After a few years, we were becoming absolutely desperate. My husband has always been interested in other options for medical care. Over the years we have used homeopathic and ayurvedic doctors and medicine with good results. Nothing seemed to work so my husband starting researching more and more of the traditional Chinese medicine. To make a long story short, he started us both (he suffers from CFS) on the medicinal mushrooms. After 10 years, I am on my feet and a fuly functioning human being. People are amazed at how well I recovered. I took both Red Reishi and Chaga (in a tea) for about 5 months when I began really gaining strength. I can honestly say that I am stronger today than I have been in 20 years or so. I recommend this product highly!

My first bag of this product was dark and flavored like it should and I used it with no reactions whatsoever. I’d have given it full stars.The next one showed up and when I added it to my sealed glass container it was obviously much lighter in color and it smelled different and the taste of my ‘tea’ was definitely different ‘brackish not good at all’ I just figured it was a different batch and would put up with the icky difference. But as the days progressed my lungs became tight and I was coughing it took me several days to realize it was possibly this batch of reshi mushroom powder. ( I thought maybe it was just some fall allergy popping up) when I did consider it, I stopped adding it to my night time help me sleep tea and low and behold my coughing and wheezing and tight chest went away too. Several days later I tried it again and the reaction was real bad. I coughed horribly and the tight constriction in my chest was definitely back with a vengeance. This was after only a few sits of the drink.So I have either developed a severe allergic reaction to this or there is something in this batch that wasn’t in the first couple of bags… not sure I want to pay for another bag just to find out. Will be canceling my subscription for this product. And throwing this entire bag away. What a waste of money.
