Tea Review: Russian Caravan (Experience Tea)

Russian Caravan
Experience Tea
Type: Flavored Black
Origin: Not Provided
Product Description:
A traditional black tea blend with a light smokiness reminiscent of the tea carried to the czars in caravans from China. It can be thought of as the original “man tea”. Think about pairing this tea with a stout blue cheese!
Temperature: 208° F
Amount: 3 grams
Steeping Time: 3-5 minutes

The dry leaves have a bold aroma of wood smoke.

The copper-red liquor has a heady aroma of smoke and berries.  The taste is boldly smoky with berry-like notes, and a long finish.

I admit to having a fondness for smoky teas and this is a lovely Russian Caravan.  The berry-like notes in the aroma and taste were unexpected, but certainly not unwelcome.  This tea produced three flavorful infusions with the profile mellowing slightly by the third. 

This tea was provided as a free sample without guarantee of a review.
