My Tippy’s Tea sampler pack came today. I slept in, had an odd morning and I’m prepping for a big event that I’m organizing and speaking at tonight, so I needed something a bit bold.
The dry leaf is a mix of rolled oolong and twists of black tea. It smells primarily of smoke.
Steeped, the liquor is brown and smells really intensely smokey, grassy and floral. Amazing! The flavours are very similar, with a bit of creaminess and malt as well. Full bodied but very smooth.
This is a really well balanced blend. I can taste each of the ingredients, but they complement each other really wonderfully. One of the best takes on Russian Caravan I’ve had.
Edit: Second cup is even more orchid floral with the smoke slightly muted. Mmmm!
Flavors: Creamy, Floral, Grass, Malt, Orchid, Smoke

Jealous! This is what I get for living in the US. :P
Nice, never heard of this brand before. Their Underground Pumpkin sounds awesome!
Thanks for the review! So happy you enjoyed it :D
They ship to the US too Cameron! Their $12 sampler pack promo is over, but they still do small quantities, and maybe there’ll be future samplers available.
Fjellrev, they’re a brand new company. :) Didn’t have a single tea logged here before I added the ones I got.
I did order the sampler, it’ll just take way longer to get here because I’m in the US. :P
It depends, if it doesn’t get held up in customs it should get to you, Cameron, pretty quickly. The tea actually had to travel further to get to Anlina. We’re in London, Ontario. We shipped Anlina’s tea out last week, whereas we didn’t ship your tea out until Tuesday. We shipped an order to Virginia earlier in the month and it got there in 2 or 3 business days.
