Fireweed (willowherb) has been used for centuries as a herbal plant, and the teas, tinctures, infusions and ointments made from it have long been part of folk tradition.
Fireweed contains flavonoids, tannins, mucilage, small amounts of alkaloids, chlorophylls and vitamins. It is particularly rich in carotene and vitamin C.
Fireweed leaves contain a very large number of trace elements - iron, copper, manganese, nickel, titanium, molybdenum, boron and others. No other plant can boast such a range of trace elements. Depending on where it grows, it contains 69-71 trace elements - two thirds of the periodic table.
Fireweed tea has a mild, pleasant taste and is traditionally valued as a soothing, calming drink. It is appreciated for helping to ease everyday tension, restlessness and stress.
Fireweed tea is prepared as follows: the fireweed leaves are gathered, dried until 65-70% of the moisture is gone, the wilted leaves are rolled, fermented, dried in an oven, and then dry fermentation takes place over three months.

Blueberries support metabolism and are traditionally associated with vision and the eyes. Blueberries are rich in antioxidants, which help protect the body's cells from free radicals and contribute to wellbeing as the body ages. Antioxidants also help counter the ageing process. These tasty berries are also valued as part of a balanced diet.

Ivan Chai Põdrakanepi tee “Metsa aroom” 50 g is a fermented herbal tea made from fireweed, also known as ivan chai. People usually choose this kind of tea when they want a caffeine-free warm drink with a soft, rounded taste and a long tradition of use in Northern and Eastern Europe. Unlike regular black or green tea, fireweed tea contains no tea leaves from Camellia sinensis, so it suits evenings or quieter moments when you want a gentle herbal infusion instead of a stimulating drink.
What makes ivan chai interesting is both the plant itself and the way the leaves are processed. Fireweed naturally contains polyphenols such as flavonoids and tannins, along with mucilage and plant pigments. In simple terms, these compounds give the tea its mild astringency, fuller body and soothing feel. The leaves are rolled and fermented before drying, which changes the aroma and taste: the grassy note becomes deeper, smoother and more rounded, with a character that fits well into an autumn or winter tea ritual. This traditional fermentation step is the reason many people find fireweed tea easier to enjoy than a plain dried-herb infusion.
Fireweed has been valued in folk herbal traditions for centuries. Today, it is most often appreciated as a pleasant botanical drink for people who want variety beyond classic tea and coffee, or who prefer herbal beverages in the second half of the day. It may suit those who enjoy calm, warming drinks at work breaks, in the evening, or alongside a light meal. The fermented form is also popular with people looking for a richer taste without added flavourings.
Because this is a herbal tea rather than a medicine, it is best seen as part of a balanced lifestyle, not as a solution for specific health problems. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, giving herbal teas to a child, or using medication regularly, it is sensible to check first whether this plant is suitable for you. If you know you are sensitive to herbs rich in tannins, start with a milder brew.
