Shop by Type (Choose Your Blend)

  • Loose Leaf vs Tea Bags: Loose leaf delivers layered aroma and strength control; tea bags are quick and tidy - check if bags are individually wrapped on each SKU.
  • Ceylon & Assam Blends: Reliable everyday body and color—great for breakfast or all-day sipping.
  • Earl Grey (Bergamot): Fragrant citrus lift over a sturdy black base - lovely with a lemon slice.
  • Russian Caravan: Traditionally a touch smoky and robust; perfect for cool evenings and hearty meals.
    Pack sizes range from 25/50/100 bags and 100–250 g tins or pouches - see product pages for exact counts and weights.

Brewing & Serving (Samovar-Friendly)

Brew at 200–212°F for 3–5 minutes depending on strength. For a classic zavarka approach, make a small concentrate and top up cups with hot water as you serve. Pair with lemon, honey or jam (varenye), and a plate of bakery sweets - pryaniki, wafer cakes, or tea biscuits. Store tea airtight, cool, and dry to protect aroma.
