My second tea from the What-Cha group buy.
I was expecting a Russian caravan tea, but instead got a geography lesson. Who knew that Russia actually produces tea? Not-bad tea either. The What-Cha website has more details about the history of Russian tea (they also offer teas from Georgia and Azerbaijan, which used to be SSRs, but are now independent).
The tea is OK but not something I’d go out of my way to get more of. It tastes to me like a cross between black tea and green tea. I’m probably the wrong guy to review this since I’m not a big fan of green teas. There isn’t much tannin, and the taste notes for me are a weedy flavor with hints of veggies (thus the reference to green teas). Nothing wrong with the tea, just flavors I’m not wild about.
