Named after the historic practice of teas from China reaching Russia via caravans of camels, this strong black tea is a forward and bold worldly blend. Assam packs a punch while dark oolong creates a smooth refinement. Puerh loads it with further depth and body while a dash of lapsang souchong adds a the smoke.

A delicious cup for those who like a smoked tea!

Very smoky yet rounded

This is an excellent blend to round out the smoky flavor of a standard lapsang. Lapsang flavor still stands out, but the other blended teas provide more character.

Nope

I opened the bag and it was the standard “campfire” smell. I could smell hints of the oolong mixed in and was hopeful it would come through in taste. I was so wrong. It was like drinking liquid smoke. I tried to add honey and it didn’t help enough. I can seem the appeal to a different type of black tea but this is just a loss for me. The other 3 types I purchased were all wonderful so 1 out of 4 is still a win.

Heavily smoked teas like Russian Caravan and Lapsang Souchong are definitely an acquired taste. As someone who loves smoky teas (and smoky scotch too for that matter), I could drink these every day. However, I get that they're not for everyone—their intense, unique flavors can be a bit polarizing.

Smoky campfire

This is the second time purchasing Russian Caravan. One of the ladies at church brought a tea on Sunday morning as an alternative to coffee. I told her that she needed to try this. It was a big hit!

One of my top teas!

Love this tea! The rich smoky flavor is a wonderfully tasty way to get my morning caffeine.

Great Tea

This is a fantastic tea for smoked tea lovers. The oolong, assam, and puerh create a strong yet complex blended tea flavor and the lapsang souchong in the mix adds a great smokiness, but the smoke is a bit more subtle in this mix. Just a great cup of tea.

Favorite earl grey

This is my go-to tea. Most lovely taste. It has less caffeine than the other earl grey teas which means it is the only one I can drink in the afternoon.

Lovely tea

A really good, smooth, beautifully fragrant tea with a slightly floral/honey aftertaste.

Goth Tea!

Looking for a beverage to replace red wine this is it. Deep, deep red with just a hint of gold plasma with the robust taste of earthiness. This tea is perfect for your ritual first cup of the night. Also, the tea dries nicely and can be added to muffins for and added layer of flavor.

Tastiest tea I've ever had!

I'm newer to the world of tea, and a coworker invited me to join a "tea club." He has the TeaRunner membership and gets new teas every month, so we try them out and rate them. This one is so good I bought it for myself. While I think it needs a longer steep time for full flavor, it is flavorful and smells divine.

Dessert in a Cup

If you're looking for a true treat, this is your perfect cup. Extra luxurious with a splash of maple syrup and heavy cream. Decadent!

Lemon Drop Black Tea

This smells so good, like aromatic lemon depth without the bitterness, and it taste a lot like it smells. I get notes of lemon peel, lemon verbena, and some woodsiness. I was glad I didn’t any tartness, sourness, or bitterness.

I was able to drink it without any sweetener at all (it’s not sweet by itself to me, but it’s complex and smooth enough to get away with no additions). I usually add sweetener to most of my teas.

I think this would be excellent hot or served as iced tea, with sugar as well. I have enjoyed it as hot tea so far. It’s also good with honey. I haven’t tried a cold brew method, but the tea is smooth to begin with, so that seems promising.
