Finest Russian Caravan (TB70) from Upton Tea Imports

ashmanra drank Finest Russian Caravan (TB70) by Upton Tea Imports

Thank you to Lori for this sample!

I am with Morgana on this one. I smell and taste darjeeling. I don’t know if it is really in there, but that is what I get. It is smooth, not too astringent, and I really don’t detect any smoke at all. It has good flavor, though, was decent both plain or with milk and sugar added, and ….I think…..it may be reminding me of Margaret’s Hope 2nd Flush FTGFOP. That’s the darjeeling I am sensing, I suppose. Maybe the tiniest bit pepper-y, too?

And…..several minutes after finishing the cup, a grape-iness hits me. Nice!

I am a music teacher and homeschooling mom who started drinking loose leaf tea about three years ago! My daughters and I have tea every day, and we are frequently joined by my students or friends for “tea time.” We have learned so much history, geography, and culture in this journey.
