Well, we have mint, fireweed (Ivan-chai) and many other I don’t know. Mint tea is ubiquitous all around the world. Fireweed tea (Gauromečio arbata) has quite an interesting taste and smell. If you tried to taste raw Chinese green tea leaves (before preparation of tea), it has a similar taste. Nowadays, in the shop, a wide variety of different herbal mixes is sold. We didn’t have any caffeinated drinks until 1990s.
An interesting drink is ‘acorn coffee’ which is set into the National Registry but I never tried that one.
And also we have berry-based hot drinks served as ‘tea’, most notably buckthorn tea.
