Product Information

After our ceremony we took these mushroom powders and committed to using them over the next couple of weeks to really feel the effects. It wasn’t long before we both started to feel better, our sleep was improved, stress and anxiety was under control, and we had more clarity than ever, it really was quite amazing. We started replicating the tea ceremony, turning our apartments into a TEA ceremony experience, sharing the knowledge we unearthed about these mushrooms, the stories, the research, and the more we shared the experience the more people were being constantly reaping the benefits. This led to a lightbulb moment it was unquestionable, we knew we had to spread the message on more platforms and DIRTEA was born. There are over 400 species of cordyceps mushroom that have been discovered, but only two have been the focus of health studies and research; Cordyceps Sinensis and Cordyceps Millitaris. Both of these mushrooms are known for their potent medicinal properties and have been used to treat a variety of ailments for centuries. We also created a brand that is not just sat in wellness, but lifestyle and fashion. DIRTEA is rarely hidden in the pantry cupboard but on display in the dining room, on the office desk laid on the table with coffee table books and sits perfectly between Dior and Prada, which thousands got to experience at our recent Mushroom coffee joint in Selfridges. Again, this is another example that sets us apart from business in this space. Their story began about 1.3 billion years ago. They were the earliest life form to come from the sea to the dry land. What’s remarkable is… we humans share an evolutionary history with them. We come from the same kingdom as mushrooms, so we are actually a lot closer to mushrooms than plants. It is said that we share approximately 54% of our DNA with mushrooms. They even breathe like us and produce Vitamin D when exposed to sunlight.

We’re Andrew and Simon Salter, the co-founders of DIRTEA, a unique range of powders and Super Blends which harness the healing powers of mushrooms, adaptogens and ayurvedic herbs to naturally enhance your wellbeing. My biggest lesson has been attention to time. When building a business, it can certainly feel like so much is happening at once and time can slip away.

Organic, environmentally friendly, completely natural, and one-hundred percent vegan, Dirtea delivers is a next gen brand in the health and wellbeing industry. What types of Mushroom do DIRTEA use in their products? You may be asking, where are they? They are everywhere! Fungi make up 25% of the world's biomass. With every breath we take, we inhale mushroom spores, i.e. seeds of mushrooms. The brand was founded by two brothers, Simon and Andrew Salter, in 2016. Having always sought ways to improve their well-being whilst balancing work, travel and play, they discovered mushroom tea ceremonies and, first hand, that consuming functional mushrooms provided them both with a rapidly transformative experience. And so Dirtea was born under consistent rains, using carefully hand-crafted practices from the forested foothills in the centre of ancient mushroom culture.There’s always a lightbulb moment before the beginning of a new venture.

As there's no sound this early in the morning, I sit comfortably on my yoga mat and meditate for 15 minutes. I use the app Brain.FM, which cleverly uses different sound frequencies to push your brain into deep meditative states with the option of guided or non-guided meditation
