“Russian Caravan is suppose to have Oolong tea in it and this version does not…so it would be a much better tasting tea if it had the Oolong added. This version just has the lapsang and assam tea.” Read full tasting note

Description

Russian Caravan is a storied blend of Chinese black teas named for the path they took to reach Europe. This long journey through the cold, dry Siberian wilderness gave the tea a different flavor than tea carried through the tropics. This complex tea blend contains Lapsong Souchong and Assam teas which yield a bold, smoky flavor with a smooth finish—a tea that will be noticed and admired.
