Russian Caravan
$3.00 – $10.00
Strong, aromatic, and unique, Russian Caravan blends are renowned for the heady smoked flavors imparted to them. Origins of the blend are rooted in 18th century trade caravans, where long journeys would impart a smokiness upon the tea being transported from the traders’ campfires. Today, this historical blend is made with a smoke-dried tea called lapsang souchong to lend it its characteristic flavor. Strong, bold, and smoky, our Russian Caravan is made with high quality lapsang, Keemun, and oolong teas to balance the good-morning-world smokiness with malt and caramel notes.
- Pairs well with strong flavored foods, barbeque, lumberjacks, and all on its own
- Steep Time: 200°-212° for 3-4 minutes
- Black tea

This tea made my beard grow a beard. Then that beard walked out, and got a job as a fur trader in Siberia. It’s doing well, and it writes letters from time to time. It’s apparently the only yeti-pelt trader in the region, as the other yeti-pelt traders encampments have all mysteriously burned down. How lucky, right?!

Campfire in a cup. This tea is beautiful on a cool morning, when longing for adventure, or daydreaming of ‘home.’ A large mug of this has me warmed from head to toe with a contented and lazy smile that brings back memories of camping with good company. I have no other way to describe this other than an ambrosia for the outdoorsman or camper that finds solace in autumn or winter days, or simply wants to experience warmth in their veins with a strangely satisfying and comforting cup of tea.

I adore smokey things such as scotch and meats. This Tea is earthy and rich and reminds me of my dear smokey scotches.

I was dubious when I first opened the tin. Smoky tea – whoa thunkit. However when I brewed up a cup the taste was fantastic. It is now my second favorite toe the Mangalam Estate.
