Tsar Nicholas Russian Caravan

A delicate cup with a lively, sprightly, slightly toasty notes. A hint of Lapsang Souchong relives the heady days and mystery of the royal court of St. Petersburg. During the Czar's time tea was the most important drink after vodka. In fact even today the tradition continues as Russia and the CIS are major consumers of tea in world terms. Their tastes have changed over the years but light, bright flavoured teas are still in high demand in Russia. Quite often the tea is thrown into a pot and allowed to simmer and steep all day; (evidence of this custom can be seen in the Russian samovar - the ideal means of serving tea Russian style). This is one reason you need a light liquoring tea with flavour to be considered for Russian Caravan Tea. The history of this tea goes back hundreds of years.
