Fermented Koporye tea from Ivan tea leaves
Fermented tea made from the fireweed plant or, simply, Ivan tea, has amazing healing and restorative properties. But in order for Koporye tea to “sparkle” with all its colors in your cup, the leaves of Ivan tea must go through not only a long process of collection and drying.

Ivan-tea: preparing fermented tea by freezing
Koporye tea, prepared from fireweed leaves (Ivan tea), can be made at home. This tea differs from its black or green counterpart in its unusual rich aroma, as well as a huge amount of useful substances. Cooking it yourself will save your family budget from additional expenses.
How to prepare (ferment and dry) fireweed tea correctly at home
A lot has been written about ways to collect, process and dry fireweed (fireweed), both in special books and on the Internet. Here I will not talk about collecting raw materials for preparing the wonderful and aromatic Cyprus tea (this is another of the many names for fireweed), but I will share my method by which I process the collected green leaves of the plant and how I dry them for future use.
