Introduction to August Tea
August Tea is a meticulously crafted blend that combines the finest ingredients to create a harmonious and flavorful experience. This unique tea features a blend of Ivan tea fermented, ginger shavings, Karkade, Masala spices, and rosehip berry, each selected for their distinctive flavors and beneficial properties.
Ivan Tea Fermented
Ivan tea, also known as Russian tea or Ivan Chai, is a traditional herbal tea that has been enjoyed for centuries in Russia and other parts of Eastern Europe. It is made from the fermented leaves of the fireweed plant (Chamaenerion angustifolium), which grows abundantly in the wild. Ivan tea is revered for its rich, earthy flavor and its many health benefits.
Originating from the Altai region of Siberia, Ivan tea has a long history of use in traditional Russian medicine. It is believed to have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties, making it a popular choice for promoting overall health and well-being. Ivan tea is also known for its calming effects, making it a soothing and relaxing beverage.
To brew Ivan tea, simply steep a teaspoon of the dried leaves in hot water for about 5−7 minutes. The longer you steep the tea, the stronger the flavor will be. Ivan tea can be enjoyed on its own or mixed with other ingredients to create unique blends like August Tea.
Ginger Shavings
Ginger is a popular spice that is widely used in cooking and traditional medicine. It is known for its spicy flavor and its many health benefits. Ginger is believed to aid digestion, reduce inflammation, and boost the immune system. It is also used to alleviate nausea and motion sickness.
In August Tea, ginger shavings add a spicy kick and a warming sensation to the blend. Ginger is also believed to have aphrodisiac properties, making it a delightful addition to this specialty tea.
To brew ginger tea, steep a few slices of fresh ginger in hot water for about 5−10 minutes. You can adjust the amount of ginger to suit your taste preferences. Ginger tea can be enjoyed on its own or combined with other ingredients like Ivan tea and Karkade to create a complex and flavorful blend.
