RUSSIAN BREAKFAST

Tea, after vodka, was the most popular beverage during the Czar’s reign. Russia is still a big consumer of tea on a global scale; thus, the custom persists even now. Although Russians’ preferences have evolved over time, they continue to favour delicate teas with subtle notes of flavour. Tea is often poured into a pot and allowed to steep all day. One reason why a light liquoring tea with flavour is preferable for Russian Caravan Tea is because of this.

A great deal of time has passed since this tea first appeared. One may visit a historical marker in Xian, central China, that marks the beginning of the Silk Road, the path that ultimately went to central Asia. Tea was a product that travelled along the Silk Road. Camel-transported tea made such an effect on central Asia that local production increased in response to demand. The area was known for its tea production.

The inclusion of Lapsang Souchong lends this blend an element of mystery, a quality that was likely absorbed by everyone along the camel trains’ route across Asia. Spending the evenings around campfires or the camels. As you move your precious cargo over the Asian plains, remember the beautiful evenings. While waiting for your tea shipment to the lavish courts of St. Petersburg, you snuggle up under a blanket and warm yourself with a cup of tea fit for a king. Now this is the life, you thought to yourself as the tea warms you from the inside out.
