What is Russian Caravan tea?
Russian Caravan tea is a loose leaf tea with a story, gaining its name from the journey the tea made from China to Europe on the camel caravans in the 18th century.
The loose tea being transported would become mixed up and take on a smokey aroma from the campfires producing a unique tea blend. A tea with history!
Today this tea blend may not have travel the traditional way but the essence of the tea still remains.
A wonderful Chinese loose tea, great as an alternative to English Breakfast tea .
What does Russian Caravan Tea taste like?
Our Russian Caravan loose tea has very little smokey flavour but has a malty, mellow flavour that's not too strong.
If you like Breakfast teas you'll love this tea blend and you can drink Russian Caravan loose tea with or without milk.
