I've heard oregano can be strong. Will it overpower the fireweed in this blend? — Fermented Ivan-tea (willowherb) with oregano, 50 g

No, the oregano in this blend is present as a complementary herbal accent, not as the dominant flavour. The primary ingredient is fermented fireweed, which provides the tea's foundational smooth, round, and deep character. The oregano adds a layer of fragrance—a light, spicy‑herbal aroma and a subtle resinous warmth—that lifts and complements the base rather than overpowering it. Think of it as a background note that makes the overall cup more aromatic and complex, especially appreciated in the colder season for its traditional soothing nature. If you are sensitive to stronger herbal tastes, you can slightly reduce the steeping time, which will yield a milder infusion where the fermented fireweed's gentle profile remains clearly perceptible.
