Description

Smoky Russian Caravan tea: complex and slightly smoky

This medium bodied, large leaf grade Russian Caravan tea is blended using a traditional blend of China black teas with oolong tea giving it a most attractive complexity and pronounced aromatic quality. Unlike our standard Russian Caravan, this blend has the addition of a little lapsang souchong which lends it a slightly smoky character which you may prefer. Infuse one teaspoon per person plus one for the pot for four minutes using freshly drawn and boiled water. Milk is optional. Blended in England. Alternatively, go to our standard Russian Caravan tea blend.

Tea from Grey's Teas

Our teas are loose leaf and we specialise in large leaf grades. All are made using traditional orthodox methods. Our teas are from named tea gardens or defined areas of origin.

Sourcing our tea

This smoky Russian Caravan tea has been chosen for its distinctive, balanced flavour, aroma and appearance. Our tea is carefully sourced from long-established shippers. We can therefore guarantee the quality and origin of each tea and that it conforms to UK food and drink health regulations and our own demanding grading requirements.

The benefits of loose leaf tea

This loose leaf smoky Russian Caravan tea enables the full flavour characteristics to infuse. This tea is chosen for its high grade which imparts the flavour and aroma characteristics for which this tea is best known. A little extra time is necessary when infusing large leaf grades but you will be rewarded with a superior, more balanced cup. You will be well rewarded for your patience!

Packing options

There are generally several packing options to choose from. These are 60 grams, 125 grams and 250 grams, the default being 125 grams in a packet. Our tough resealable packets contain a moisture barrier to ensure freshness is maintained and are specifically designed for tea. Alternatively, you can select a tin caddy for your tea. These square, silver coloured caddies have hinged lids. Again, 60 gram, 125 gram and 250 gram options are generally available as options which can be selected from the drop-down list. Packets and caddies have full-colour labels.

Storing your tea

    We love this tea especially in the afternoon with toast and honey and a date slice or other homemade cake. We enjoy at least two mugs each having used just two teaspoonfuls to appreciate the tea’s subtle and slightly smoky taste.
