Krasnodar Host Tea Estate Black Tea
All Russian teas (except Adyghe tea) are grown within Krasnodar, located in south Russia on the black sea, to the east of Crimea.

Also, tea leaves are left to mature longer on the plant than is traditionally done in tea production, which further contributes to the unique taste of Russian tea.
