The blend
This pack contains 100g of loose leaf Russian Caravan tea. Russian Caravan is a blend of Oolong, Keemun and Lapsang Souchong teas. Although, it’s a blend of China teas, the name Russian Caravan comes from the 18th century camel caravans that brought China tea to Europe.
The taste
Delicate and smoky, this is a truly evocative tea with a rustic flavour and warmth that'll instantly transport you to magical campfires and wilderness.
The benefit
Black tea contains polyphenols, a type of antioxidant. Caffeine and an amino acid called L-theanine are also found in black tea, which is said can improve alertness and focus – even more than coffee!
The moment
Warm up when you are out and about – having an adventure, camping or in the garden – with this slightly smoky blend.
The creation
Using traditional methods of blending and tasting, this tea has been carefully crafted by the Miles team, using Miles experTeas!
Based on the edge of Exmoor and on Somerset’s coastline, we take inspiration from our beautiful surroundings to create a cuppa that embodies a little escape, evoking memories of a holiday in the West Country, with each sip. Our attention to detail and experience ensures a consistent, flavourful tea that will see you constantly topping up your mug.
