I am brewing Russian Leaf Tea at the moment. What is Russian about it? No idea.
Only the other days I said I cannot stand Darjeeling and today I am going to test my statement. Will let you know a bit later whether I drunk it or poured into a sink

anyway, the tea I mentioned above is drinkable but that's it. I don't like it. I also don't feel Darjeeling too much. Only a hint of it.

That's all I know about Russian Caravan Tea. In my home made version I found it very nice.
