In the world of functional beverages, few combinations are as comforting and beneficial as chai, CBD, and chaga mushroom. Together, these ingredients create a flavorful, soothing experience that supports both body and mind. At Shimmerwood, we’ve brought this trio to life in our Chai Cherry Shimmer Seltzer—a bold, bubbly twist on ancient adaptogens and modern hemp wellness.
What Is Chai and Why Is It So Loved? ☕
Chai is a traditional Indian blend of black tea and aromatic spices like cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves, and black pepper. This spice blend offers:
- Digestive support
- Anti-inflammatory properties
- Mood-lifting warmth
According to Healthline, chai may help with blood sugar regulation, digestion, and heart health. It’s a flavorful, warming, caffeine-free option that’s become a wellness staple. When combined with calming cannabinoids like CBD, it becomes a deeply soothing sip for any time of day.
The Calming Benefits of CBD 🌿
CBD (cannabidiol) is a non-psychoactive compound found in hemp. It interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which helps regulate:
- Stress and mood
- Sleep cycles
- Immune and inflammatory responses

At Shimmerwood, we use broad-spectrum CBD in our seltzers including cannabinoids like CBG and CBC, but with 0.0% THC to create a calming, clear-headed experience. Our Chai Cherry Seltzer captures these effects with layered spice and a hint of cherry bark bitters 🍒.
Meet Chaga: The Functional Mushroom You Should Know 🍄
Chaga is a type of functional mushroom that grows primarily on birch trees in cold northern climates like Siberia, Alaska, and the Northeast U.S. particularly in Maine when it comes to Shimmerwood’s chaga. Traditionally harvested in winter, chaga thrives during this dormant period when its antioxidant content is at its peak. This seasonal timing enhances its bioactive compounds, making it ideal for wellness applications.
According to Medical News Today chaga may:
- Help reduce oxidative stress
- Support immune function
- Improve skin health and aging
Research such as this article from the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians highlights its adaptogenic potential and immune-modulating effects.
When paired with chai spices and CBD, the result is a balancing beverage packed with earthy complexity and functional wellness.
