75/100

Russian Caravan

Black Tea by Teaberry's Fine Teas

A smokey China black tea of a blend of Assam, Fujian and Dimbula OP black teas. Delicate cup with toasty notes. Heady and mysterious, warming.

Woah, smells like bacon! This Russian Caravan is maybe a bit more smoked than what I generally like. Rather than using the usual Chinese black teas they seem to have gone with the more conventional (and cheaper?) Indian black teas. And you can tell as the tea has more bitterness and astringency than what I’m used to tasting in most Russian Caravan blends. Meh.

I added milk to the tea this morning for my breakfast cuppa and found that it really improved things. So I’ve decided to up its rating by a few points.
