A quick glance at Pinterest.com seems to show that Fireweed is used as tea in Russia. Fireweed, Epilobium angustifolium was difficult to find on Wikipedia until I stumble upon the new name, Chamerion angustifolium.

Wow, it says that yes, fireweed leaves are used for tea in Russia.. Fireweed leaves are fermented just like ordinary tea, Camillia sinensis. Cool! I know where I can find a patch of fireweed. I can't wait to try this! Hooray!
