A Russian blend with added extracts known as a Slavic specialty. This superb blend of black teas with lemon, lime, sweet orange, bitter orange, grapefruit, bergamot and mandarin, was created by Palais des Thés during its earliest years.
Since then, the 7-citrus cocktail has been added to different base teas.
Different from the tea that grows in Georgia, Russian blends have been enjoyed in Russia since the 17th century. Although they were originally blends of black Chinese teas, they became more diverse in the late 19th century when the Russian court was introduced to Indian teas, most notably Darjeeling. Since then, the term "Russian blends" has been adopted to refer to any blend of Darjeeling and Chinese black teas, with or without natural citrus extracts added.

A distinct but difficult to pin-point flavor that is special.

I don't really like tea very much and have a hard time finding one that satisfies me on those rare occasions when it seems like a cup of tea is called for. I usually find Lady Grey or Russian Earl Grey to be the most tolerable, so I decided to give this blend a try. It's the best tea I've ever had.
