About the name DACHA
In Europe, Russian tea usually means tea with citrus such as lemon or bergamot. DACHA is Russian for a second house many Russian people own in the countryside. During early to mid-summer, families stay in their dacha and enjoy gardening or walking out in nature. In Russia, making jams harvested in their garden and enjoying black tea with herbs brewed with samovar are traditional pastimes in summer. LUPICIA’s DACHA is inspired by such Russian teatime.

Happy Friday, everyone! ❤
This was one of the teas from Lupicia’s “Drink your way around the world” series. Apparently a dacha is a Russian country cottage, so this tea is inspired by Russian teatime.
Needless to say, it’s an Earl Grey. It’s actually a bit stronger than I like on the bergamot – to me, it starts tasting like perfume when it’s strong. I think there may be a touch of lemon as well, but it’s difficult to say next to the bergamot.
There are definitely some herbs here as well – I would say rosemary and sage. There’s also a menthol note that reminds me of eucalyptus.
Overall, it’s not my favorite. The bergamot is quite potent and it’s only exacerbated by the savory and sharp herbs that are also present. It comes off tasting a bit medicinal because of the pine/menthol notes.
I believe this series of teas may have been intended to be iced, so I might try it that way. I haven’t really been drinking iced tea lately though, since it’s autumn now…
