Ivan Chai is an ancient and traditional Russian tea made using the leaves of the Ivan chai plant (Chamaenerion angustifolium), otherwise known as willow herb, rosebay or fireweed. It has a sweet, fruity and floral taste, with delicious depth and although it's considered a black tea, it contains no caffeine, uric acid, oxalic acid, taurine or purine as mon in black, green and white teas.
Teeming with amino acids, micro and macro nutrients, and rich in minerals, vitamins, flavonoids and antioxidants, Ivan Chai has been revered and enjoyed through Russian history for its delicious flavour, impressive immune boosting and detoxifying properties, and beautiful soothing and healing abilities.
This herbal black tea is wild harvested in small batches, collected by hand in Northern Alberta's Boreal Forests. After carefully sorting and wilting the leaves, they are gently rolled by hand in the traditional fashion and left to oxidize for about 2 days. After the careful oxidation plete, the tea is sun dried and lightly roasted in the oven to create that smooth floral depth that Russia has cherished for millennia.
All natural, completely hand processed, fully oxidized wild Chamaenerion angustifolium (Ivan Chai) and Ivan Chai flowers. No additional flavours. Harvested summer 2022.
Whether you like your tea hot or iced, sweetened, creamed, or black - or even in your homemade kombucha - our Ivan Chai is sure to find a special place in your home as it has in ours.

SOME HISTORY of IVAN CHAI: Ivan Chai was very popular from the 12th century up until the first world war when it was ousted from the European market and replaced by Chinese and Indian teas.
The Chinese and Indians took the technology of processing teas, as well as the name “chai” from the Russians. Up until 1916, Russia was the largest supplier of tea in the world and in the 19th century, Ivan Chai was the second most exported Russian item - even above linen and furs!
Before the 20th century, Ivan chai was the daily drink of choice for all Russians.
In the beginning of the 20th century, doctor Peter Badmayev devoted most of his scientific work to uncovering the secret healing power of Ivan chai tea. People came from all over the world to receive his treatments! He lived to be 110, and could have lived longer had he not been captured and tortured to reveal his secrets of longevity, but he didn’t give in. He even had a child at the age 109!
Hitler was so afraid of this tea, and of the possible super-powers it could give to soldiers, that he destroyed Koporye, the village and factory where many experiments using Ivan Chai were being carried out.
