What is fermented willowherb tea with lingonberry, and how is it different from an ordinary herbal blend?

EMELJANOVSKAJA BIOFABRIKA fermented herbal tea with willowherb and lingonberry is a fermented herbal tea based on willowherb (Ivan chai) with added lingonberry. Fermentation is a natural way of processing the plant material that changes the taste, colour and aroma of the infusion.

• Willowherb (Ivan chai) forms the basis of the blend. After fermentation its taste becomes rounder and richer: the excess grassiness goes and the aroma opens up warmer and softer.
• Lingonberry adds a light berry tartness and gives the taste more layers. Both the berries and the leaves of the lingonberry are used, so the infusion combines fruity and herbal notes.

Compared with an ordinary unfermented herbal blend, this tea is more expressive, but without harshness. This makes it a convenient option for those looking not just for a herbal drink but for a more balanced taste for an unhurried cup of tea. Many choose it as a more delicate alternative to classic black tea.
