Hi all,
My local bulk tea store, which sells something like 30 kinds of tea, has one that is particularly good. I'd say it's their best one.
It's called Russian-Georgian, not to be confused with Russian Caravan.
When I prepare some of it and before I ever add sweetener, it has a distinct scent of honey and yet it is not sweet by itself.
I was curious if anyone knows whether Russian or Georgian tea is known for that and if it's a processing thing or just the type of tea used?
Thanks.
I don't know much about it, but here was a thread a little further down the page

"Er, yes. With milk."

"Well, in a manner of speaking I suppose ..."

Just read the older thread, and that's fascinating. I didn't think of Georgia as being that warm. You said it's not sweet. Can you compare the taste to a tea we know?
I think any modern Georgian would not take kindly to being hyphenated with their former occupiers and then invaders.
I just found this on the internet for you: http://teaguide.wordpress.com/2008/02/1 ... nd-part-1/ Only the first section is about the tea.
