The story of this tea is shrouded in myth and legend. A delightful combination of soft, smokey notes, with a deep, rich, slightly sweet and malty body, our wonderfully flavourful Russian Caravan is as bold as its history in its voyage from China to Europe.
Ingredients: Oolong, Keemun Black Tea, Lapsang Souchong Flavour Profile: Woody, Aromatic, Bold, Earthy, Rich, Slightly Sweet, Fruity, Smokey Caffeine: Moderate Brewing Guide/ Directions of use: 3-5g, -90- 95°c, 5+ minutes We would recommend brewing for a longer time period, until you reach the flavour profile you like.
*Please keep in mind tea leaf and herbal characteristics can vary from batch to batch, due to sourcing availability and season of the crop.
The Story
Like many tea blends with untold journeys that became their unspoken identity, this tea, transported to Europe from China through a northern route via Russia, was a treacherous and perilous expedition. Caravan leaders braved extreme cold, rugged mountain paths, encounters with wild bears, and the constant threat of bandits armed with knives and clubs, all with the precious cargo of tea at stake.
Our wonderfully flavourful tea blend pays homage to this storied heritage and the hardworking farmers who tirelessly cultivate these teas. Our special Russian Caravan blend features Lapsang Souchong, smoked with pine cone needles from Anhui, Oriental Red Robe (Oolong) from Fujian, our unique Keemun black from Anhui, and a touch of organic Assam for added body and boldness.

How long does your tea stay fresh?
Short answer. It depends on the tea and how it is stored.
To keep your teas fresh, always store them well-sealed in a cool, dry, and dark place and generally as a guideline we recommend consuming within 3 years of purchase.

White tea: 15-30 mg per cup

You guys are brilliant, your packaging is 1 of the main reason I chose to order my Tiger with you, you don't waste room and space with boxes. I love my tea samples and really I cannot survive without my Morning Tiger, Thankyou Tea Journeys

I’ve never understood our camping buddies not liking Lapsang Souchong. After all they all say how much they like getting home and finding all there clothes smell of smoke.
Recently introduced Golden Goose into the mix and it captured some interest. There is hope for them yet.

I am really enjoying my sticky chai….. especially the ginger flavour which gives me the taste I like to identify.
I often use my diffuser in a mug rather than the infusion bottle and that works well if I just want a mug of chai just for myself.
I have samples to try and I want to try a chilled chai as well. I’m on a ‘tea adventure’
