Ivan Chai - Fermented Fireweed leaves

Wild-crafted - Hand harvested - Organic  - Caffeine free 

100%  HERBAL TEA

Ivan Chai is traditional russian herbal tea made from the leaves of Rosebay willowherb (Chamaenerion angustifolium).

With its rich composition of minerals and vitamins, willow-herb makes for a healthy, caffeine-free tea that does not contain harmful uric acid or oxalate. Ivan tea has a delicate taste with a hint of dried fruit, a delicious aroma and the same shade of color as ordinary tea.

It is both tonic and nutritive.

Fireweed is an excellent source of dietary fiber, vitamin A, niacin, vitamin B6, folate, calcium, magnesium, and manganese. Rosebay willowherb is said to have more vitamin C than rosehips (which has up to 8 times more vitamin C than lemons).

Fireweed is loaded with tonic benefits for the entire body, especially for men.  The antioxidants in fireweed benefit ✔ the digestive system, ✔the urinary system, ✔the circulatory system and✔ the heart, ✔the brain,✔ the endocrine system✔, the immune system,✔ the lungs, and the ✔skin. 

Fireweed has been used safely as a tonic tea for hundreds of years in Siberia, Russia, and throughout Europe, both as a dried green leaf and as a fermented black tea beverage.  It is listed in the European pharmacopeia as a traditional treatment for prostate problems. 

Due to the absence of caffeine and the high content of valuable bioactive compounds, Ivan tea has practically no side effects, except for cases of individual allergies.
