About this item

  • SMOKED BLACK TEA LEAVES BLEND -- A fragrant, rich blend of smoke-dried Organic Lapsang Souchong, Nilgiri, and Chinese black teas. Try hot with milk
  • SMOKEY FLAVORED TEA -- **Note** This is a smokey-flavored black tea, which some may find to be strong. It's been called a "campfire tea" and this is normal for a Russian Caravan. No two Russian Caravan batches are the same as they are a product of the smoking process which introduces variance
  • VERSATILE - Enjoy on its own, or with your favorite sweetener - sugar or honey - and milk or milk-alternatives. You can even add maple syrup as a sweetener for a unique cup
  • NATURALLY CAFFEINATED -- Black Tea contains caffeine + an amino acid called L-Theanine which improves focus + alertness without the crash
  • RESEALABLE, REUSABLE AIRTIGHT POUCH -- a bag designed to keep your bulk tea fresh until the last cup


Our Russian Caravan Loose Leave black tea is a blend of Lapsang Souchong and other Chinese grown black tea those who have come to enjoy a cup of Lapsang Souchong will delight in the discovery of this formidable concoction. Smokey stout and full flavored with just alittle earthy this is a great black tea for a chilly day. A fragrant, rich blend of smoke-dried Organic Lapsang Souchong, Nilgiri, and Chinese black teas. Try hot with milk
Black tea leaves, or Red Tea in Asia, are fully oxidized before being processed + dried, which gives the cup its unique flavor. Black teas are stronger, bold + brisk, sometimes astringent. In China, black tea is known as hong cha 紅茶 due to the reddish color of the leaves and infusion. Black tea can be brewed hot or iced tea + may be served with milk, sweetener or enjoyed plain + unsweetened. Sun tea, sweet tea, iced tea + afternoon tea are beverages made with black tea
Loose Leaf Tea is not prepackaged in tea bags. Loose tea leaves will fully expand when steeped to produce superior taste + flavor that's complex bold and stronger with depth. Bulk loose leaf tea requires a steeper strainer filter or tea infuser when brewing in a cup or teapot
This tea blend naturally contains caffeine. Teas with caffeine also naturally contain L-Theanine which improves focus while reducing any crash / jitters
We use the purest loose tea, herbs + botanicals to create the best cup of tea, this commitment means consistency + freshness across our assortment of breakfast tea, antioxidant Green tea, Black tea, Matcha, Herbal, Rooibos, Mate & Chai

THIS is the Russian Caravan I've been searching for! For me, it's got the right amount of smokiness that gives Russian Caravan its distinctive specialness. It smells and tastes wonderful. It's both delicate but rich. A very satisfying cup of tea. I look forward to continue purchasing this particular brand of Russian Caravan--a tea which is become harder to find and often was a disappointment. THANK YOU, SPICE HUT!!!!

It is the popular afternoon tea at the Ritz in London. It is popular for afternoon tea in our home, as well. We drink it almost daily

The vanilla tea I normally get was out of stock so I decided to give this one a try, and am I ever glad I did! This tea is so flavorful and smooth, extremely fresh and packaged well. I’ve definitely found my new favorite vanilla tea! I’ll be buying it again.

Tastes great as iced tea. Which is what we bought it for. We have not tried it hot but I’m sure just as good

I buy and drink a lot of tea, cold brew. The package says drink with milk and sugar, that's not me. I tried cold brew, hot, with milk, then with sugar. Adding milk, did "mute" that chemical taste, but I don't drink tea w/ milk. All I can say is I can't get over the chemical-like taste. With the price and outcome, I cannot recommend.

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!

Probably this is just personal preference and I'm sure a lot of people enjoy this tea, but as a long-time earl grey drinker who had to switch to decaf for medical reasons, this will not be my new daily tea.

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.
