Russian Caravan is a black tea mix produced using distinctive black tea types, or black and oolong teas. The name comes from camel parades that were shipping tea along ancient tea courses in the eighteenth century, from China to Russia and Europe.
Consider a Russian Caravan as a mix that ought to contain a blend of every one of those teas that were once shipped into Europe and turned into a staple in European family households – generally Assam, Keemun, Lapsang Souchong, Pu’erh, and Formosa oolong. Russian Caravan will never incorporate white, yellow, or green tea, just those that were more oxidized, fermented, smoked, or simmered. Those teas were bound to endure long journeys and unforgiving environmental conditions. Indeed, even current Russian Caravan teas contain just those tea leaves that are coming from tea-delivering nations with a solid tea custom – Mainland China, Taiwan, India, Sri Lanka, and Nepal. They will exclude uncommonly or test teas from nations like Australia or Germany.
