Dimensions & More Info

• Assam: Indigenous to India's Brahmaputra Valley, this tea is one of the world's oldest varieties. It's made from the delicate leaf tips of the Assam tea bush to create a full-bodied, robust brew. (12 tea bags)
• Lapsang Souchong: To give this Chinese tea its distinct flavor, the plucked leaves are withered over a pinewood fire, dried and rolled. They are then placed in bamboo baskets and smoked over a second pinewood fire. (12 tea bags)
• Russian Caravan: This blend of black Keemun and oolong varieties recalls ancient trading routes through which tea was transported from China to Russia in a caravan of camels. The Chinese tea has a light, nutty taste. (12 tea bags)
• Darjeeling: This high-grown tea is harvested from bushes in the foothills of the Indian Himalayas. Made from the highest-quality leaf tips, it has a subtle muscatel taste and full-bodied, robust character. (12 tea bags)
• Ceylon Orange Pekoe: Originating in Sri Lanka, this bright, crisp, full-bodied tea is blended with robust low-grown leaves to create a delicious, medium-strength brew. (12 tea bags)
