The smoky note actually lingers nicely after each sip, and the bergamot gives it a bright citrus kick that keeps it from feeling heavy. I've been brewing it strong in the mornings and it cuts through the fog better than any tea I've had lately.

I was worried the bergamot would overpower everything, but it just lifts the smoky black tea instead. Two cups in the morning and the citrus keeps it from tasting heavy.

The smoke hits first but the bergamot keeps it from tasting like an ashtray, which is exactly what I want in a Russian Caravan. I've been drinking it plain all week and it's bold enough that I don't even miss the milk.
