Ivan Chai is apparently a name coined by foreigners, Ivan being a typical Russian name and Chai sharing etymological roots with our English word, Tea.
Other names include Russian Chai, Fireweed Tea, Rosebay Willowherb Tea and Koporye (various spellings used), named after a historical village near St Petersburg where the tea was mass produced. 
Many sources claim this tea was once Russia’s second largest export and more popular in Britain than the familiar black tea of today. 

Rosebay Willowherb can be used to make a herbal tea simply by drying the leaves, Ivan Chai, however, is distinguished by a process of fermenting the leaves (but don’t worry, it’s not a complicated process).

Storage Tip

To keep your fresh fruits at their peak, store them properly. Most fruits thrive in the refrigerator's crisper drawer, where the temperature and humidity are controlled. However, some fruits, like avocados, bananas, and tomatoes, ripen best at room temperature. Once they're ripe, transfer them to the refrigerator to slow down the ripening process.

Remember to store fruits separately from vegetables to prevent ethylene gas, a natural ripening agent, from accelerating spoilage. For optimal freshness, check your fruits regularly and discard any that are overripe or showing signs of decay.
