This Russian Caravan is truly a one-of-a-kind blend. The base teas are Assam and Keemun; the addition of Chinese Lychee tea to the blend gives a wonderful fruitiness, and small amounts of Lapsang offer a hint of smokiness. A great afternoon tea.
Brewing Instructions:
Use 1 heaping teaspoon per 6 oz cup; heat fresh water to a roaring boil; let steep for 2-3 minutes. This blend contains caffeine. Sweeten with SBS Teas Vanilla Moon Powder or Sweet Purple Haze Sugar.

HINT of smokiness my @$$! (I felt bad cussing in my review.)
My quest for lychee once again goes awry. This blend sounded like it had the potential to be very interesting, with the fruitiness of lychee and the other black teas to mitigate the terrifying Lapsang Souchong, but unfortunately the smoky flavor dominates the cup.
This will be jumping into that traveling tea box whenever it finally makes its way to me, for sure!
Fruit in a russian caravan? That’s something I’d never have thought of. o.O
Fruity and smokey does not sound like a good combo.
