drank Russian Caravan by Great Wall Tea Company
477 tasting notes

Was gifted a sample. It’s nice. It’s not AnD’s, but it’s likeable; I might have to pick some up after I run out. There’s hints of Keemun in amongst the smoked teas—which aren’t very strong, but they mesh well.

Smokey is a unique level of flavor for teas, but too unique for mornings. I’d prefer Russian Caravan for an evening tea much more than as an early or afternoon drink. —this is just taste preference though…

Thank you.

I like smoky teas in the morning; I enjoy them any time of day, truly, but I think they provide a unique pickmeup (since caffeine doesn’t do that for me).

I should come down to the Wall today, before work. If I leave RIGHT now, I could hang out for two hours. I could return Watchmen to the library while I’m down there.

oh yeah, I’m lending you that movie right? Totes. I’m not working today, but I’ll swing by to drop off your package and perhaps bump into you :D

Bio

Disclaimer: I work for Murchie’s Tea and Coffee as a taster and blender. I will avoid putting any ratings on teas from them from here on out.

A tea-drinking transgendered Canadian, university graduate, majored in geology (yes, “rocks and things”). I take most of my tea made straight into a mug, although occasionally if I’m not in a hurry (this isn’t often), I’ll have time to sit down with a pot or gaiwan. It’s the highlight of a good day.

My notes are pretty disjointed because I’m absent-minded, and I also keep a teatra.de blog for reviewing and rambling about tea books/publications, and an instagram for photos. Expect nerding about tea production and history on both.

I’m a Doctor Who fanatic (Jon Pertwee, if you were wondering).

“But you should never turn down tea, when it’s offered. It’s impolite, and impoliteness is how wars start.” ~Eighth Doctor, Paul McGann
