High-grade China black tea and Lapsang Souchong are paired together giving this tea a well balanced, full-bodied, smoky aroma and flavor. Not as intense as our notorious, Lapsang Souchong.

Thank you Ali for this extra in the tea sale I had to buy a couple things from. :D I’m very happy I’m able to try this as it just happens to have my favorite characteristic of a smoky tea – a sweet hint of marshmallow that I’m only tasted in one other smoky tea before this one. The base is perfect with the sweet smoke – smooth and not too tough. The smoke brings all the tough it needs, but also the taste isn’t too smoky. The second steep kind of lacked a little more flavor, in the tea itself, the smokiness, AND the marshmallow. But the first cup was a good one… also a good one to try if you’re not sure you like smoky teas. I wonder if there is supposed to be a flavor difference between a Russian Caravan and Lapsang Souchong? I’ve never heard of Virtuous teas but their prices seem very reasonable, looking at their site.
Russian Caravan is lapsang souchong blended with another non-smokey tea. I think most of the ones I’ve had have ceylon and assam as the other teas.
Ah, okay.
