Detailed Description
One of Mr. Vail's 15 original tea blends.

This creation of Mr. Vail's combines teas from China, Taiwan, India and Sri Lanka and has a dash of Earl Grey. This Russian style tea brews to a bright copper cup with a mellow, flavorful, medium-bodied taste and a lemon-citrus aftertaste.

Ingredients: Black teas from India, Sri Lanka, China and Taiwan and bergamot oil.

Brew tea at 212º - steep for 3 minutes.

Certified Kosher

Note: This blend of Mr. Vail's differs from standard Russian Caravan blends on the market. Standard Russian Caravan tea includes Lapsang Souchong, which this blend does not. If you prefer this standard version see our Smoky Siberian Blend.

My go to Wake Up tea! 12/28/2015
This tea is like a morning miracle! It is the perfect thing to motivate me to get out of bed early so I can enjoy a few cups before I go to work, because I cant seem to stop at just one cup! This tea has quickly become one of my favorites!

14 Years and Still Great For Me 8/18/2015
In 2001 Russian Caravan was one of the first teas I sampled from Simpson and Vail. As a tea drinker since the age of 5, I am particular about what crosses my palate. This tea always delivers a perfect cup with a complex but delightful flavor. I live at 8,000 altitude where water boils around 184 degrees so all teas get pushed to their brewing limits. Not a problem for Russian Caravan!

young and old in my house 3/3/2015
Everyone likes this tea, I enjoy the bright amber cup and my mother likes the lemon after taste. At Christmas our house guests request it even if they are coffee drinkers.

Still in Love after almost 14 years 10/8/2014
I can thank Russian Caravan for introducing me to Simpson and Vail. In 2001 I had my first cup of this great blend and have been hooked ever since. I like a malty cup with a hint of the exotic but not overpoweringly so. Too much Bergamot and I am out. This tea is one of five SV teas I alternate daily. I look forward to its turn in the teapot. If you only bought SVs Assam Beesakopie and Russian Caravan for the rest of your life...you would be content to a T.

Great Iced 4/13/2013
The smooth hint of citrus in this tea is great. I could drink it any time of the year, but over ice, it is really nice on a hot day after a long morning in the sun.
