During these rests, the tea leaves absorbed the smoky flavour, and when the tea arrived in Russia, tea drinkers took notice of its new smoky character and really enjoyed it. This resulted in the official creation and demand for Russian Caravan tea. Interestingly, around the same time Russian Caravan t...
