Loose Leaf Russian Caravan Tea - The Tea Lovers

-

Russian Caravan tea is a dark and malty black tea that has been infused with the flavour of smoke. Some describe Russian Caravan tea to have flavour notes of tobacco, chocolate, firewood, charcoal and smoke. To some this may sound rather terrible, however it the perfectly blended malty black tea with earthy smoke character that creates a satisfying flavour of warmth & comfort - that has tea drinkers coming back for more.

Russian Caravan tea is one of Tea Lovers best selling classic black teas.

Tea Lovers sells over 200 varieties of single origin green and black teas, as well as delicious flavoured teas, gourmet fruit infusions, dessert teas and herbal & wellness tea blends.

The origin and creation of what we now know as Russian Caravan tea has quite a story steeped in history. Similar to the Chinese legend of how a Buddhist monk first discovered tea when tea leaves fell into a pot of boiling water - Russian caravan tea also has its own accidental discovery. Along the Sino-Russian trade route in the 1600’s where goods were carted from Imperial China through Mongolia to Russia, there were mile-long camel caravans loaded with tea that made their journeys. 


A ‘camel caravan’ is a series of camels carrying passengers and goods on a regular or semi-regular service between points. The caravans would travel along cold, snow-covered roads, and would frequently stop for rests around campfires. With the tea loaded on camels sitting quite close to the fires, the tea leaves absorbed the smoke flavour. When the tea eventually arrived in Russia, tea drinkers noticed the new smoky character and quite enjoyed taste – Leading to the official creation and demand for Russian Caravan Tea.

Coincidently after the discovery of Russian Caravan tea in Russia, in China during the Qing Dynasty a new smoky black tea called Lapsang Souchong was also discovered. ‘Lapsang Souchong’ meaning a black tea smoked over pine wood fire. To this day both Russian Caravan tea and Lapsang Souchong tea are well enjoyed all across the world.

  When you think of the world's most prominent tea-producing countries, Australia probably doesn’t come to mind. Despite not being a well-known tea producer, Australia has a boutique tea industry that is quickly gaining recognition among tea enthusiasts. Among its offerings, Australian Black Tea stands out due to its distinct flavour profile and local production. .

The country's tea producers are mostly small-scale operations, crafting limited quantities distributed through boutique outlets. Notably, Australian Daintree Black Tea , cultivated in the tropical Far North Queensland, stands out among the most beloved Australian Black Tea varieties. Named after the UNESCO World Heritage site Daintree Rainforest, this black tea boasts a medium-strength brew with lower caffeine and tannin levels than its counterparts. Its smooth,...
