Good, Not Terrific
I switched my Kambaa brand from the one I've purchased in the past at The English Tea Store (TETS) online. I did so because Kambaa comes from (or should) Kenya, but TETS is sourced from China. My hunt for true Kenyan Kambaa led me here. The quality seems good from a visual perspective. It brews cloudier than my TETS Kamba. I don't think it's as malty and smooth as TETS, though. There's an astringency here that some may like, but it's a little unpleasant and distracting to my palate. This, despite varying the steeping time. For those unfamiliar with Kambaa, it is a very strong black tea that looks more like Nescafe than leaves. It brews a reddish brown cup of slightly floral, slightly metallic, and malty tea. I can't drink it without milk and a little sugar. It's a pretty big hit of caffeine, the tea I drink when I want or need a break from coffee. Recommended, but consider alternatives if this isn't quite to your liking.

Misleading —
Misleading —Amazon product page indicates organic ingredients. Package shipped to me does not mention anything organic. Disappointed. This matters a lot to some of us.

Tastes like Oolong. No smoky flavor
If you want Russian Caravan tea and you are expecting an earthy, smoky black tea, I would NOT recommend this tea. This tea tastes like Oolong mixed with nothing else, which is fine if that is what you want. Though you could probably find a better Oolong. This is a poorly-advertised tea

Dirty old caravan more like
This doesn’t taste anything like a proper Russian Caravan blend. It’s more like some leaves found under a dirty old caravan at a campsite circa 1971. Possibly in Russia but that’s as close as it gets to being a legitimate expression of that delicious tea blend. Not recommended at all.

Delicious
First bought this tea at a little shop that is now closed. Thought I’d never find it again. I was wrong! It’s delicious. A nice mild creme flavor with the wonderfulness of Earl Grey. The bag is huge compared to what you need to make a good pot of tea. Will definitely buy again

Delicious Tea!
I have been buying a premium lapsang for years, Hu Qwa. but after learning how much pesticide, how many different kinds of poison, are in tea, I decided to try an organic product. And you know what? I like it every bit as much as the fancy stuff.
