Long before black tea was imported from China and until the end of the 17th century, people living at the time of the czars had been drinking “Smitten”, a brew made with hot water, honey, and herbs. Today, tea is the most popular non-alcoholic drink in Russia. Our black tea blend, not to be confused with the Gruziya tea of former times, is based on an old Russian recipe and is perfectly suitable for being served from a samovar. A highly aromatic and, at the same time, soft tea with a very light, smoky note.
This strong and flavorful tea is perfect for those who appreciate a deep, rich taste. Enjoy it on its own or with a touch of sugar or lemon
Sure, boosting the heart health, being an ally in lowering blood sugar levels, improving gut health is a bonus but I just love this tea as a "wake me up"
