Autumn is the perfect time to warm up with aromatic tea. At the capital's interregional fairs, you can find a variety of teas and herbal infusions that will bring comfort even on the most inclement day.
The shelves feature teas from a variety of climates and ecosystems—from the mountain slopes of Karachay-Cherkessia and the meadows of Bashkortostan to Karelia and the Siberian taiga.
Fair participants from the Republic of Bashkortostan offer customers 18 types of herbal teas. Whole-leaf teas and a unique air-drying technology in special rooms with natural ventilation preserve the beneficial substances, natural aroma, and color of the plants. The fair's selection includes teas such as "Vitamin," "For Health," "Strawberry," "Honey Glade," and fireweed with oregano or mint. A new addition to the season, "Legendary" carrot tea, is particularly popular. It is created using restored recipes from the Great Patriotic War.
"It took me several years to collect various recipes and recreate the technology. For the packaging of this tea, we used a symbolic composition: fermented carrots as a symbol of the earth, green currant leaves as a sign of prosperity, and apple blossoms as a symbol of Victory," said Galiya Valeeva, a participant in interregional fairs.
Bashkir tea can be purchased at two fairs—on Semenovskaya Square and Ketcherskaya Street. Each box of tea is decorated with hand-crafted compositions of dried herbs.
The fair on Semyonovskaya Square also features herbal teas from the ecologically clean regions of Karachay-Cherkessia. The selection includes general tonics like "Mountain" and "Dombai," as well as specialized teas for the heart, kidneys, and restoring sound sleep.
The newly harvested herbs are dried at temperatures up to 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit)—this gentle processing preserves the beneficial properties and aroma of the plants. The blends include lemon balm, oregano, thyme, chamomile, St. John's wort, and rose hips. Customers can choose from loose leaf teas, individual tea bags, or gift linen bags. For the best aroma and benefits, the manufacturer recommends brewing the blend with 85–90 degree Celsius (185–194 degree Fahrenheit) water in a thermos and letting it steep for several hours.
At the Moscow fair on Gorodetskaya Street, you can find over 10 types of herbal and other Siberian plant infusions, infused with wild berries. The selection includes "Rowan," "Berry," and a unique infusion with cedar needles. Particularly popular is "Taiga" tea, made with sagan-daylya, a renowned tonic plant native to Russia's Far East.
The interregional fair on Yunyh Lenintsev Street features tea blends from Karelia. Large-leaf pressed tea is made using a traditional method: herbs and berries are dried in a wood-fired oven. Among the teas on display are "Arctic" with blueberries, "Cloudberry Amber," "Aroma of the North" with St. John's wort, and "Forest" with lingonberries. These drinks have a tonic, calming, and antiseptic effect, and you can find the right one at the fair.
A well-chosen herbal tea can help you establish a daily routine. Tonic drinks with berries and fireweed are an excellent choice for an invigorating morning. During the day, it's best to brew vitamin-rich and tonic blends to help maintain energy. And in the evening, choose herbs with a gentle, calming effect, promoting relaxation and preparing for sleep.
