Our famous Russian Caravan takes its name from the camel-drawn caravans which slowly travelled the ancient trade routes through Russia, taking this tea on an arduous journey from China to the tea tables of Europe. A century in the making, this tea was one of our very first blends, bringing together the rich, malty taste of Assam with the authentic campfire smokiness of Lapsang Souchong from Fujian. We\'ve added high-grown Nepalese tea to balance the smoke-tinged taste with light, bright top notes - all in all, the result is a multi-layered brew with rich, layered tones of spice, sweetness, malt and smoke. It\'s an old time classic with a real sense of history.
