Our Russian caravan blend is a rich combination of Taiwanese Formosa and Chinese black teas.
The term "Russian caravan" refers to the transcontinental 18th-century journey made by camel caravans along the "Great Tea Road" between China and Europe. The tea is said to have acquired a smoky flavor from the campfires used by the caravans on their journey. Our Russian caravan blend combines Taiwanese Formosa and Chinese black teas such as lapsang souchong, each expertly balanced to create a complex flavor profile of spice, sweetness, malt, and smoke. It can be enjoyed with or without a splash of milk, making it a versatile and delicious choice for tea lovers. Sold as loose-leaf tea in a 125g Tin.
