"This is not the smoky, Lapsang Souchong flavored Russian Caravan tea so many people are familiar with. Instead, it is a very hearty "regular" (unflavored) tea, but I found it a very pleasant surprise and it is now one of my favorites." Bob G.

"A very good tea. The leaves and the brewed tea itself has a little spicy smell that might seem a litte overwhelming, but the spiciness of the tea smooths out once infused. Excellect!" Eric Stringer

"I tend to associate Russian Caravans with smoke. This one was not smoky at all, but still a fine black tea. It was too strong at first due to oversteeping - use the time suggested on the package. Will probably become a staple in my teachest." Stephen Michael Schimpf

"This tea is actually very good, but it totally lacks the smokiness I associate with a Russian Caravan tea. For some that may be a good thing, but I find it disappointing." Joyce Lerner
