Ivan tea is a traditional Slavic drink made from the dried leaves of fireweed (rosebay willowherb). It is known by many names, such as Ivanov tea, Koporye, Coptic or Kuril tea, and in its time it was the most popular tea in Russia. The leaves and buds are hand-picked, then fermented and granulated using an ancient technique, so the tea keeps a very intense and sophisticated flavour. Here it is complemented by rosehips.
