Tolstoy's Samovar
Tolstoy's Samovar
Our tribute to a traditional Russian tea, named after one of our favourite authors. Caravans would transport tea on the long journey from Russia to China, and the smoke from the nightly campfires would infuse into the tea, giving it a distinct smokey flavor reminiscent of a mild Lapsang Souchong.
