Explore the Rich History and Unique Flavours of Russian Caravan Tea

-

 Russian Caravan Tea is a distinctive black tea blend known for its unique smoky flavour. This exceptional tea is crafted by combining oolong, keemun, and lapsang souchong teas, with some variations also incorporating Assam tea. The result is a dark, malty tea with pronounced smoky notes reminiscent of firewood and charcoal. Russian Caravan Tea delivers a comforting and satisfying experience, making it a favourite among tea enthusiasts who appreciate its bold, smoky character.

The origins of Russian Caravan Tea trace back to the 1600s, when camel caravans transported tea from Imperial China through Mongolia to Russia via the Sino-Russian trade route. During the long journey, the tea leaves absorbed the smoky essence of the campfires, creating the unique flavour profile that would come to define Russian Caravan Tea. This blend gained immense popularity among Russian tea drinkers and continues to be a beloved choice today.

During the same era, Lapsang Souchong Tea was developed in China, another notable smoky black tea. Lapsang Souchong is produced by smoking tea leaves over pine wood fires, which imparts a distinct smoky flavour. Both Russian Caravan Tea and Lapsang Souchong Tea are celebrated globally for their unique smoky characteristics, appealing to those who enjoy bold, robust flavours.

Russian Caravan Tea is favoured among tea lovers and is available in various blends. Some versions omit lapsang souchong, resulting in a milder smoky taste, while others include Assam tea, adding a malty richness to the mix. When brewed, Russian Caravan Tea presents a dark hue and a smoky aroma reminiscent of a campfire. This versatile tea can be enjoyed plain or with a splash of milk and honey, making it an excellent choice for breakfast or as afternoon refreshment. Its smoky flavour pairs well with hearty dishes like stews, grilled meats, and roasted vegetables.

At Tea Lovers, we offer a wide selection of classic black teas, including Russian Caravan Tea, English Breakfast Superior, French Earl Grey, Earl Grey Supreme, Irish Breakfast Superior, Madam Grey, and Prince of Wales blend. Our extensive range includes over 200 specialty tea blends, featuring single-origin green and black teas, flavoured teas, gourmet fruit infusions, dessert teas, and herbal and wellness teas. Explore our collection of gourmet leaf teas at TeaLovers.com.au.

In summary, Russian Caravan Tea is a unique black tea with a storied past and a distinct smoky flavour. Originating from the 1600s when camel caravans carried tea along the Sino-Russian trade route, it remains a global favourite. Its rich, smoky character continues to delight tea drinkers around the world.

Tea & Herbal Infusions - TeaLovers

You would be forgiven for thinking herbal infusions are some kind of supplement or medical practice. A herbal infusion, in the sense of talking about ‘tea’, is simply what we call a herbal tea. A herbal infusion is the process of steeping herbs in hot water until the water absorbs the essential oils, nutrients and flavours from the herb. Herbal infusions may consist of roots, leaves, shoots or flower petals and are primarily drunk for health and medicinal reasons, as well as for taste and pleasure. A herbal infusion tea can consist of a single herb (such as chamomile or peppermint), or can be a blend of herbs that have been carefully selected for medicinal purpose or simply great taste. Examples of herbal infusion blends include Peppermint & Liquorice herbal tea or Lemongrass & Ginger herbal tea. Herbal Infusions can also be blended with dried fruits and spices to make them taste great, as well as adding further health value to the tea. Herbal teas have been cons...

Rooibos & Herbal Infusions Tea - Tealovers.com.au

Rooibos tea is a herbal infusion made from the Aspalathus linearis bush shrub that is native to South Africa. Rooibos isn’t actually a tea in the sense that it doesn’t come from the camellia sinensis plant – It is a herb that infuses in water to make a nutritious herbal beverage. Similarly to the production of tea, rooibos tea leaves (leaves form the Aspalathus linearis shrub) are cut, dried and fermented to produce a reddish-brown coloured leaf. Indigenous to South Africa, rooibos tea is the popular drink found in most South African households and is now currently sold in over 60 countries worldwide. It is interesting to know about how rooibos tea was first discovered. In the 1700’s early Dutch settlers in Cape Town discovered rooibos tea as an alternative to drinking expensive black tea from Europe at the time.  A European botanist Carl Thuinberg who visited Cape Town in 1772, studied the rooibos plant and the tea that could be brewed from it. Following this, ...
