Jeeves & Jericho Smokey Russian Caravan

So I had the opportunity earlier this week to go to our local bakery/coffee shop called Huffkins.
Originally a Bakery, but more a small Costwold chain of restaurants that Bakes their own products and sells them in the Restaurants as well as a select few other locations.

You can check out Huffkins here

One of Huffkins main selling points is that they stock local produce where possible from other suppliers in the Cotswolds. One such supplier is Jeeves & Jericho that produce some exciting tea.

I had the opportunity to try their smokey Russian Caravan. I have had Russian Caravan from Whitards before, and found it had a distinctive strong tastee.

However the Jeeves and Jericho Smokey Russian Caravan is a nice smooth tea, it has a really smokey smell, but don't let this put you off as it does not have a smokey taste and does not leave a smokey after taste in your mouth..

To Score this tea I would give the following:-

5/5 for ease of use as I didn't have to prepare it (Huffkins did all the work) - But it is lose leaf tea so would drop to a 3/5 for having to prepare yourself
4/5 for taste
5/5 for packaging (They have pretty cool packaging and tins when you see this on their website).
