Russian Caravan Black Tea
This post is inspired by nanafox request about Russian black tea recipe.
Russian Caravan Black Tea
This excellent tea was created in imperial Russia from the teas brought overland by camel from Asia. Because the trade route was dangerous and supplies unsteady, Russian tea merchants blended the varying incoming tea cargoes, selling a blend rather then a single tea form. It was usually a combination of China and India black teas.
‘Russian Caravan’ has somewhat dry roughly-flowery flavor (it is such a terrible torment to define tastes and flavors by words), light, barely sweet taste and wonderful, divine dry and shaggy aftertaste. Because of this very aftertaste ‘Russian Caravan’ is better drunk pure — without sugar, cream, lemon, or any other stuff (although, on the pack, they will say that the tea is good with milk and lemon). This tea goes well with crème pastry and pies as well as with classic tea snacks: oatmeal cookies, cucumbers/ham/salmon/cheese sandwiches, and other nice things.
Very often on the pack of Russian Caravan there is an image of a camel (a hint at Middle Asia and the fact that part of the way tea made on these phlegmatic animals)
