Russian Caravan Black Tea, Loose Leaf Black Tea, Caffeine, Smoky Flavored Russian Tea | 8oz Bulk Tea, 80-100 Cups | The Spice Hut, First Sip of Tea

I was skeptical as someone who doesn't like any flavored waters and typically only black tea unsweetened; I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked this. It's enough flavor to taste but it is not overwhelming and doesn't leave an after taste like a lot of "flavored" teas do. Definitely will be buying more.

Several years ago, I blindly took a chance to try out a Earl Grey de la Creme from TJ and absolutely loved it. Mistake 1 - I did not go back to get a few more bags and ever since then, they stop carrying it.So, for the last few years, besides hoping TJ would re-stock this tea, I've been on the "hunt" to find a replacement because I'm a big tea drinker. So far, it's been hugely unsuccessful! I've spent numerous money on trying different tea online from all over but couldn't find anything close to what I love.This one is by far the closet to what I love, not quite, but quite close to what I love.What I do not enjoy is the price point!

Ever since Peets stopped selling their own line of teas, I have searched in vain for a replacement of my beloved-but-no-longer-available Russian Caravan blend. My search lasted a decade, but now is over! This vendor is selling a POUND of beautiful Russian Caravan for about what 8 ounces once cost in Peets now-defunct tea lineup. Thus strong black tea blends perfectly with a little bit of cane sugar.

first time trying this tea (Russian Caravan black tea) , and it tastes good, perfect smoky flavor, but it is a bit strong in flavor for me.And gave me insomnia too!

If you're an earl gry lover than you'll love this tea, it has a soft vanilla taste to it that isn't overpowering.

The thing you have to remember about reviews of food products is they only reflect the taste of the one reviewer. Having said that, I've been drinking various brands of Russian Caravan tea for many years, and to me, this particular tea is horrible. It tastes like the leaves were retrieved from the ruins of a burnt-down house where they had sat for several days in the rain before being gathered up and packaged. I don't even smoke meats as long and as heavily as apparently they do this tea. If you like drinking a tea made from boiling charred wood, this stuff is for you.

Just recently started using loose tea, and this is delicious. I had a similar tea at a restaurant, and was trying to find that one, but this one was almost an exact match. I love to drink it when I am craving sweets, it’s perfect!

Tastes gtreat

Difficult to describe. Almost a plastic-like taste that came with the taste of the tea. It still made a pot of tea you could drink but I won't be purchasing again.

Really like the combination of flavours!
