Information

Russian Caravan
 
Speciality Black Tea
 
Brewing: 1  tsp per cup ~ 100 °C ~ 3-4 min


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 flavoursome teas are still in high demand in Russia. Often the tea is thrown into a pot and allowed to simmer and sleep all day. Evidence of this custom can be seen in the Russian Samovai - the ideal means of serving tea Russian style.

Simpli-Special Serving Suggestions

Some people enjoy this tea with a little milk or coconut milk.
Try brewing the mix for a second time.
Some people like to add a little honey.
For a really fiery blend, add an extra scoop of ginger before brewing.
Especially delicious iced.

Iced Tea
Make as for hot, but add extra tea - double the amount of tea per cup is recommended.
When the tea has cooled a little, pour over ice and then serve.

Cold Brew
For a smoother taste experience.
Place the tea in a jug and add cold water.
Leave to infuse for a few hours (or overnight in the fridge)
Strain and enjoy.

Delicate and Warm

Ordered some to try with my latest order of tea and I'm glad I did. It's a lovely delicate tea but the little hint of lapsang gives it that lovely cosy feeling. I think I personally prefer the lapsang suchong as my 'cosy' tea but when I want something a little lighter I'd happily reach across to my russian caravan.
