A blogger friend of mine sent me three blends of his own devising. The first that caught my attention was (naturally) the smoky one. What was funny about the blend is that I found green oolong in the midst – highly unusual. This is a very gentle Russian Caravan variant. It was both smoky and floral with a smooth underpinning of malt and tobacco. A very manly hug of a morning cup.
Pause in the Taiga
Black Oolong Blend by Tee Faktorei
In the past, caravaneers brought back tea from China to Imperial Russia across Siberia. In order to revive, they drank during their pause – a “Russian” tea. With Pause in the Taiga, have a break and follow this ancestral road.
