brewing-information Description

Being a pure China tea blend, this Russian Caravan black loose leaf tea comes close to the luxury teas that were transported by camel train from the tea-producing areas of India, Ceylon and China to Europe, via Russia during the 18th century.

Grace's Russian Caravan Original Tea Blend contains chiefly Keemun style black tea for body and flavor with the addition of smoky China Lapsang Souchong tea for an exotic and robust overtone. This popular tea blend is perfect for those looking to expand their tea palate.

    Just Right

    Grace Russian Caravan has just the right amount of smokiness, not cloying or tarry. Makes a delicious cuppa with honey and lemon! Russian Caravan is my Dad’s fave tea boend, and this is his fave Russian Caravan, so I always get him a tin of it for his birthday every year.

    Lovely!

    The Russian Caravan tea is so delicious! Especially nice for this cold, windy,snowy beautiful Massachusetts winter.
    I bought myself a new tea pot and strainer to celebrate.

    Grace Rare Tea is blended to perfection. It is a tea that takes one’s senses on an adventure.

    Russian Caravan

    Caravan tea is so hard to find now, but it's my favorite when the temperatures drop. This is glorious. If you like a smoky flavor, the tea equivalent of Laophraig whisky, this is for you. (If you don't like a smoky flavor, look elsewhere.)

    Good and intense tea flavors

    The addition of the Lapsang Souchon tea to the blend contributes a a dark, smokey flavor and aroma to the tea that differs from the pressed tea tiles that I usually use as Russian Caravan tea. I like it, and this is a decent substitute for the tea tiles, which I can no longer find.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How long does it take for my order to ship?

    We strive to ship orders within 2-3 days of receipt. However, due to the handcrafted nature of our products, combined with inventory limitations, some orders may take longer to ship. If there is a significant delay in shipping your order, we will contact you directly with details.

    Are your teas cultivated naturally? Are they Organic?

    All our teas are sourced from tea estates, suppliers and importers that we have personally worked with for decades and many for generations! We only purchase teas that have been cultivated naturally, devoid of pesticides and growth agents.

    Teas that have the term “Organic” in the products name have gone through additional certification by the country or origin and USFDA. Even though all our products are natural, we are unable to list them as Organic unless they have gone through these steps. Sometimes, this certification can be costly and time consuming for growers. Each country has different regulations, so many sell the teas to us without this extra labeling.

    How long does tea stay fresh?

    If sealed properly and stored away from extreme hot/cold temps and moisture, tea will stay as flavorful as the day you bought it, even after 18 months.

    How long should I brew my tea?

    Tea brewing times and water temperature can vary between tea varieties. Please consult this link to find the best method for your tea!
