If you like your herbal tea, or herbal infusion, then you’ll most certainly like what we’ve created at Fungo. These aren't your typical herbal teas; they are rooted in ancient ayurvedic & asian culture, encompassing carefully crafted blends designed to offer more than just a delicious taste, which is why we add functional mushrooms! Let’s explore what makes functional herbal infusions special and why you should consider incorporating Fungo into your daily routine.
What Are Functional Herbal Infusions?
Functional herbal infusions are beverages made from a blend of herbs & spices (+ in our case mushrooms), specifically selected for their health benefits. The term "functional" refers to the intention behind these infusions: they are designed to serve a specific purpose beyond mere refreshment. This might include promoting relaxation, enhancing digestion, boosting immunity, or providing a natural energy lift. Each ingredient in our functional herbal infusions is chosen for its potential to contribute to these desired effects.
Why Choose Functional Herbal Infusions?

Functional herbal infusions are crafted to address specific health needs. Whether you’re looking to relax after a long day, support your immune system, or enhance your digestive health, there’s likely an infusion designed to meet your needs, just like our Elevate blend for focus & memory.
2. Functional Mushrooms:
What sets Fungo apart from the average herbal tea is the addition of functional mushrooms. Our blends incorporate mushrooms such as Lion’s Mane selected for its unique health benefits. Functional mushrooms are renowned for their adaptogenic properties, which help the body manage stress, improve cognitive function, and enhance overall vitality.
