Customer Questions
How do I prepare this brick tea compared to loose herbal tea?
This product comes as a compacted brick, which is different from loose tea in a few practical ways. First, you need to break off a piece. You can use a sturdy tea pick, knife, or even your hands to separate a portion suitable for your teapot or cup, typically starting with a piece about 1-2 centimeters square.The brick format helps preserve the aroma and flavor of the fermented leaves and berries. When brewing, you'll find it often opens up more slowly and gently than loose leaf. For a first infusion, use freshly boiled water, but you don't need to use as much leaf volume by weight as you might with loose tea; the compacted form steeps efficiently. Start with a short steep of 2-3 minutes, then taste.One of the appreciated aspects of brick tea is that it often withstands multiple infusions well. You can pour hot water over the same piece several times, with each steep potentially revealing different layers of the flavor profile, from the initial tangy sea buckthorn notes to the deeper, earthier base of the fermented fireweed. This makes it suitable for a longer, slower tea session.After brewing, store the remaining brick in its original packaging or an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from strong odors to maintain its quality.
What does 'fermented fireweed' mean for the taste?
Fermentation is a process where tea leaves undergo controlled oxidation and microbial activity after harvesting, which significantly alters their character. For this product, the fireweed (Ivan tea) leaves are fermented. This is why the blend is described as having a style sometimes compared to puer tea—it's about the processing method and the resulting depth, not the plant species.In practical terms, fermented fireweed provides the foundational taste of this herbal drink. Compared to simple dried fireweed, it typically results in a darker infusion color, a smoother mouthfeel with less astringency, and a more complex, slightly earthy or woody aroma. This creates the 'round, slightly earthy depth' mentioned in the product description. It's this base that gives the tea its full-bodied character, making it feel richer than a typical herbal infusion.The tartness from the sea buckthorn berries and the lighter floral notes from the fireweed flowers are layered on top of this fermented base. So, if you enjoy herbal teas but are looking for something with more substance and a flavor profile that unfolds gradually, the fermented component is key. It's a traditional method used in some Northern European and Siberian tea cultures to create a warming, non-caffeinated drink suitable for quiet moments or evening consumption.
I am sensitive to strong flavors. How can I adjust the brewing to suit my preference?
If you find some herbal teas or berry flavors too intense, this blend can be easily tailored. The main factors you control are the amount of tea, the steeping time, and the water temperature.Amount: Begin by breaking off a smaller piece of the brick than you might normally use—about half the suggested size. A little goes a long way, especially since the tea is compacted.Steeping time: This is the most effective control. Instead of 3-5 minutes, try a very short infusion of 60-90 seconds for the first cup. Taste it. If it's too mild, you can let the same leaves steep longer for the next infusion or add 30 seconds to your initial time next brew.Water temperature: Using water slightly below boiling (around 90-95°C or 195-205°F) can yield a gentler, less extracted brew, muting some of the sharper tart notes from the sea buckthorn while still pulling flavor from the fermented leaves.Multiple infusions: Since the brick format allows for repeated steeping, you can purposefully make several very light brews (e.g., 1 minute each) rather than one strong one. This often reveals a more delicate progression of flavors. Remember, you can always add more tea or time, but you can't take it away once steeped. It's best to start light and adjust upward based on your taste. As with introducing any new food or drink into your routine, pay attention to how it suits you.

What it is

IVAN DA Siberi puer ASTELPAJU 96 g is a caffeine-free herbal tea brick built around fermented fireweed and sea buckthorn. People usually choose this kind of drink when they want a deep, full-bodied cup with a character that feels richer than a typical herbal infusion, but without the stimulating effect of black tea or coffee. The taste profile is shaped by tangy sea buckthorn, soft herbal notes and the round, slightly earthy depth created by fermentation.

Key components

The interesting part of this Ivan Da herbal tea is the base: fermented fireweed, also known as Ivan tea. During fermentation, the leaves develop a darker color, smoother aroma and a more layered flavor, which is why products of this type are sometimes compared with puer in style rather than in botanical origin. Using several parts of the plant gives a broader taste impression than berries alone:

  • Fermented fireweed (Ivan tea): the darker, smoother, more layered base of the blend.
  • Fireweed flowers: add a lighter floral nuance.
  • Sea buckthorn berries: bring pleasant tartness and make the blend brighter.
  • Leaves and young shoots: add a greener, more structured note.

When people choose it

This sea buckthorn herbal drink suits quiet tea breaks, evening cups, or moments when you want something warming and expressive without caffeine. It can also work well for those who enjoy exploring traditional Northern and Siberian-style tea culture. Because the tea is pressed into a brick, the aroma tends to stay well preserved, and many tea lovers appreciate that this format invites slower brewing and repeated infusions, allowing the flavor to open gradually from one steep to the next.

Good to know

If you prefer gentle, naturally tart herbal teas, this blend is an easy option to include in your usual menu of hot drinks. Consider the following:

  • If you are sensitive to strongly flavored berries or herbs, start with a lighter brew and adjust to taste.
  • During pregnancy, breastfeeding, or if you follow a restricted diet, it is sensible to check whether sea buckthorn-containing products fit your personal needs.
