Filled a gap in my life!

I discovered Russian caravan tea 20 years ago at uni (where coincidentally i was studying Russian) but it's become increasingly hard to find a decent blend.

Came across Bird & Blend as Bluebird tea at Just So Festival a few years back and was the best brew to dismiss the parenthood exhaustion, and only just realised you're the same company.

Absolutely LOVE this stuff! Aromatic & strong, I could drink gallons of it whilst I work from home!!

Yum yum yum! Will be ordering more soon.

Astonishing tea

I've always loved lapsing souchong, but this tea is astonishing. Delightful smoky flavour, yet manages to be subtle too. somehow more pure than bonfire toffee, which is also fantastic.

Hi Ruth, thanks for writing a review for Smoky Russian! I'm glad you're enjoying the smokiness of this! Do try it cold brewed too with a splash of lemon juice, delish! Ian @ B&B
