HOMEMADE TEA WITH BLACKCURRANTS (Berries + Fireweed)

The taste of summer, a shot of Vitamin C, and a zest for life.

This "Native Tea" is especially aromatic and vibrant. It combines the calm groundedness of fermented fireweed (Ivan-chai) with the juicy energy of dried blackcurrant berries. In Old Russian, the name for blackcurrant means "strong smell" – and that's exactly what this tea is: warming, yet refreshing.

Why add blackcurrant berries specifically?

🍇 Natural Vitamin C and Immunity:

Blackcurrants are a northern "superberry". They are a rich source of Vitamin C and antioxidants, helping to strengthen immunity during autumn and winter, protecting the body from viruses and stress.

❤️ For the Heart and Circulation:

Blackcurrant berries are traditionally used to strengthen the cardiovascular system. They help cleanse the blood, improve blood composition, and tone blood vessels.

⚡ Vibrancy without Caffeine:

In folk practice, blackcurrants are believed to "awaken" inner vitality. The tea provides alertness and clarity, helping to overcome fatigue and exhaustion, but does so without caffeine stimulation. It is pure natural energy.

Taste:

Thanks to the berries, the tea has a light, pleasant tartness and a deep, fruity note, balanced by the mildness of fireweed.

Usage:

• For the whole family: The tea has no age restrictions – it is loved by both children and adults.

• Preparation: Pour a glass (200ml) of hot (80°-90°C) water over 1 teaspoon. Let steep for 15 minutes.

• Effective: The tea leaves can be steeped 2–3 times.
