While this robust tea may not immediately enchant every palate, for some, it captures the essence of winter and comfort, evoking memories of woodsmoke, black tea, and a crackling fire.
The tea's roots can be traced back to the ancient Sino-Russian trade route, established in the late 1600s, facilitating the transportation of substantial quantities of tea from Imperial China to Tsarist Russia. Legend has it that during this journey, tea leaves were nightly exposed to campfire smoke, earning it the moniker Camel Caravan Tea. Today, it is universally recognized as Russian Caravan.
Renowned for its antioxidants, Russian Caravan tea fortifies the immune system by protecting DNA and counteracting the effects of free radicals. Its abundance of tannins is believed to be effective against viruses causing flu, hepatitis, and dysentery, while alkylamine antigens contribute to supporting the body's immune responses.
