Czar Nikolas II Premium Russian Tea 250g (8.8oz)

Czar Nikolas II Premium Russian Tea is a 250g premium blended black tea from the Russian Tea Company — a bold, richly aromatic blend in the prestige imperial-Russia register, drawing on the deep cultural association between Russian identity and the strong, sweetened tea glass. The Russian Tea Company positions this tea in the imperial heritage register — the tradition of the samovar, the glass in a podstakannik (metal glass-holder), the strong black tea that was the social institution of Russian and Eastern European daily life from the 17th century onward. The Russian tea tradition is one of the world's most developed: tea arrived in Russia via the Silk Road in the 17th century and became so central to life that the samovar became a household cultural symbol, and strong, sweetened black tea remains the universal social beverage across all Slavic diaspora communities. Brew strong in freshly boiled water for 4–5 minutes, serve in a glass with a sugar cube on the side, and pair with dark bread and varenye (Russian jam) in the canonical Russian afternoon tea style.
