Koporsky tea

In the pre-revolutionary Russian Empire, such a drink as Kopor tea was considered simply indispensable. For several centuries, the useful properties of Kopor tea have been actively used in traditional folk medicine. Koporsky tea is an authentic and original Russian drink that is made from fox boiling water or narrow-leaved Ivan tea.

For this reason, Kopor tea is often called nothing more than Ivan tea, although this is wrong from a biological point of view. The thing is that boiling water or Ivan tea is a type of perennial herbaceous plants that are assigned to the Kipreev family. In turn, due to its distinctive abilities, the narrow-leaved cypress was separated into a separate genus called Ivan-tea.

It is also worth emphasizing that Koporsky tea can only be called so conditionally. The thing is that tea is understood as a drink made on the basis of tea bush leaves. Kopor tea can be classified as a group of herbal beverages that have some distinctive characteristics of a tea drink. Researchers believe that the useful properties of Koporsky tea have been known in Russia since about the XII century.

Koporsky tea got its original name thanks to the town of Koporye, which is now a village in the Leningrad region. it was in the garden that Ivan-tea was harvested on an industrial scale, narrow-leaved, in order to subsequently produce a medicinal drink from the leaves of the plant. It is noteworthy that Kopor tea was quite known abroad, where the drink was called nothing more than "Russian tea. "

Many European powers purchased Kopor tea in tons. This popularity of the drink was due primarily to the unique beneficial properties, and in addition, the vitamin-mineral composition. Until the beginning of the 20th century, it was Kopor tea that was considered one of the most widespread drinks in the Russian Empire.

However, with the development of trade relations and diplomatic cooperation, the state preferred the East India Company and now such familiar and traditional tea varieties for us. Nowadays, Koporsky tea is rather a rare drink that Ivan Tea harvesters produce in modest volumes. The chemical composition of Kopor tea contains a fairly large amount of ascorbic acid.
