Rich in character without becoming overpowering, it offers a clear amber cup, gentle toasted notes and a bright, well-rounded finish — a rewarding tea to enjoy plain, with milk or with a slice of lemon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"irll85\" data-start=\"894\" data-end=\"951\"\u003eRussian Caravan Loose Leaf Tea with Gentle Smoky Depth\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"953\" data-end=\"1200\"\u003eTsar Nicholas Russian Caravan is inspired by one of the great traditions of the tea world. Historic caravan routes carried Chinese tea across Mongolia and Siberia into Russia, giving rise to blends prized for their warming, subtly smoky character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1202\" data-end=\"1405\"\u003eThis version captures that style with restraint.
