甜美順滑的茶香鋪陳開來，讓煙燻尾韻緩緩飄散、縈繞不去。煙燻風味雖明顯，卻不具侵略性。餅乾般的底韻平衡了煙燻感。
俄羅斯商隊茶的歷史可追溯至17、18世紀的陸路貿易路線。商人以駱駝商隊從中國及其他產茶地區，經俄羅斯運往歐洲。據傳，這條路線上營火的煙燻氣息賦予茶葉獨特而珍貴的風味。Souchong（正山小種）指的是茶樹上較成熟、較大的葉片。雖然幼嫩芽葉（或稱金芽）通常最受追捧，但煙燻較老茶葉的工藝卻開創了新風潮——如今已成為茶界的主流。
幸運的是，我們無需騎上駱駝或橫越蒙古，就能享用這款茶。若你對煙燻茶感到好奇，俄羅斯商隊茶是理想的入門選擇。

The biscuity undertone really rounds out the smoke, so it's smooth going down instead of harsh. I brewed a pot last night and that aftertaste hung around pleasantly for a good while, exactly what I want from a Russian Caravan.
That lingering smoky aftertaste is exactly what I've been hunting for, and it drifts in so gently after the sweet, smooth tea notes that it never overwhelms. The biscuity undertones make each sip feel comforting and rich, and I've already reordered a bigger bag.
I usually drink straight black teas but this one converted me — the biscuity note comes through right at the start, then that smoke creeps in and just hangs around without ever feeling harsh. Perfect for a cold evening with a splash of milk.
