As part of a custom blend.

3 parts Murchie’s Russian Caravan, 1 part Murchie’s Himalayan to make up 1.25 tsp. 250mL water at 100C. Steeped 4 minutes 15 seconds, drunk bare.

I really like both of these teas on their own, an the first time I made the RC, I wanted more body. I didn’t quite get that by blending it with Himalayan, but I did get a bright and crisp version of Caravan; I cam imagine staring at stars in the winter sky while drinking this. Many mineral notes at first complement the gentle smoke.

I prefer straight teas but will try almost anything … so long as it’s not tainted with hibiscus. I loathe hibiscus.

Floral oolong and complex black teas are my favourites.
