For over 4000 years, Red Reishi mushrooms have been most revered in traditional Chinese medicine equaling ginseng as a premier substance for the attainment of radiant health, longevity, and spiritual attainment.

Traditionally, Reishi has been used as an anti-aging herb to treat many diseases and disorders. Daoist traditionalists rever this mushroom as the elixir of immortality, claiming it promotes calmness, centeredness, balance, and inner awareness and strength.

Kaldi was an Ethiopian goat herder, who grazed his flock on the highland plains of Ethiopia. Kaldi noticed his flock become frisky after eating the leaves and berries of the Shiny green plant with the red fruits. Kaldi noticing no ill effects to his herd, tried some as well, he felt frisky and curiously energetic too. He took the "magical" red berries to a nearby monastery where the holey man believed them to be the work of evil it's self. He demanded they be destroyed in fire and Kaldi threw them into the fire. This released such a sweet thick and inviting aroma the villagers came out to see what the source of this magnificent and alluring aroma was. The beans to Kaldi's delight were quickly rescued from any future flames. The monks experimented eventually learning how to make boiled and filtered hot black gold. The holy men considered coffee a gift from Allah keeping them awake during prayers and prosperity for the cultivators.
