Russian Caravan black tea by The Tea House is an imaginative lightly smoked blend inspired by campfires along the historic silk road. 

Fine, earth-spicy Yunnan, sweet-smoky Keemun and a dash of Lapsang Souchong teas, expertly blended to yield a wonderful full-bodied aromatic tea with a subtle note of smoke

It is said that the light smokiness of this tea style originally came from campfires built along the Silk Road.  This skilful blend emulates the unique characteristics of those caravan teas.

Brew longer for a stronger cup and take with milk or infuse multiple times for 15-30 seconds each for an enjoyable elegant black tea. Delicious with a rich fruit cake!

Region & Growing Info

China

China is the world's largest producer of tea, offering diverse types including green, black, oolong, white, and Pu-erh. Famous regions include Zhejiang, home of our Dragon Well Lung Ching green tea, known for its fresh and nutty flavour. Yunnan produces rich Pu-erh with earthy, aged qualities. Fujian is famous for oolong teas like Tie Guan Yin, offering floral, creamy notes. Each region imparts distinct flavours from unique climates and terroirs.

China's tea culture is rich with tradition, emphasising handcrafting and meticulous processing methods. Green teas such as Lung Ching are pan-fried while Oolong teas are primarily hand-rolled. Pu-erh undergoes fermentation, creating a robust, earthy profile. China's commitment to organic and sustainable farming is growing, with many regions producing eco-friendly teas. The country’s vast landscape ensures a variety of flavours, from delicate, floral flavours to bold and distinguished flavours.
