The flagship black tea from the Czar Nikolas II line, presented in a bold black and gold package. Made with black tea and natural and artificial flavors, brewing at 212°F for 3--5 minutes delivers a rich, full-bodied cup steeped in the Russian tea tradition. Distributed by the European Importing Company in Sacramento, California. A reliable everyday black tea with an unmistakable imperial character.
Black and gold foil brick pack. Loose-leaf black tea in the Russian style — brewed strong, traditionally served from a samovar with lemon and sugar, or as a concentrate diluted to taste.
50 cups in one pack. At 5 g per serving this is the everyday, brew-it-all-day format rather than a gift tin — and it is priced accordingly. The brewing instructions on the back are unusually explicit for a tea:
Water temperature 212 °F · Steeping time 4–5 minutes
Full boiling water and a long steep, which is exactly right for a strong Russian-style cup.
Five products in this range — Russian Black, Renaissance, St Valentine, Nostalgia and a Green Tea — so it supports a proper brand page.
