Product Description
Fireweed (Epilobium angustifolium L.) is a native plant to the temperate Northern Hemisphere and grows mainly in forests. It is also known as great willow-herb and rosebay willow-herb. It can be found widely in Canada and the northern United States.
In the past, from the Fireweed plant were made candle wicks. Leaves have a sweet and pleasant taste and can be used in salads or cooked as a vegetable. After they are dried and subjected to fermentation, special tea (popular in Russia - Ivan Chai, also called a ‘warrior tea’) is made from them.
