Created by Pavel Michailovitch Kousmichoff, the founder of Kusmi Tea, the Russian Blend (or Exclusive Blend) recipes are a delicate mix of carefully selected original teas, Earl Grey (Earl Grey is actually the name of the flavour given by bergamote, a little lemon from Sicilia, Italy) and citrus fruits flavours. Kept secret since their creations, each of these flavourful recipes are enjoyable at each time of the day.
Anastasia has a fruity taste thanks to bergamot and lemon flavours that are smoothened by orange blossom. A recipe inspired by the legendary Grand Duchess Anastasia, the mysteriously disappeared heiress to Tsar Nicolas II (Romanov dynasty). Peachy's Pantry Panel sipped this and they say:
Kusmi Tea has another hit on their hands, or should I say in their tea cup. Anastasia is a Russian Blend of Russian blend of China and Ceylon teas with the scents of bergamot, lemon, lime and orange blossoms. When I opened the box I was greeted with an aromatic celebration. I immediately heated up some filtered water to savor this outstanding blend of teas. I was not disappointed, I was hooked at my first sip. My taste buds were completely satisfied and cried for more, which I happily obliged. Anastasia is packaged in handy muslin tea bags, no need for an infuser, treat yourself to some of this delicious tea today.
Kusmi Tea's Anastasia blend is an excellent tea to have at any time of day. It has a fruity taste and a hint of citrus. It's light and smooth flavor would go very well with a sweet biscuit or cookie. You could sweeten it with a bit of sugar or honey, but there is no need. The tea tastes so good all on its own! Drinking this tea is an excellent way to sit back and relax after a hectic day. It's so good, I plan on having another cup right now!
What I love most about the Kusmi teas is that they are quite delicious on their own! I do love to add lemon or honey and that makes for a rather yummy tea too. The Anastasia tea is quite historically significant giving it even more life. This tribute tea to the Grand Duchess Anastasia Romanov was created right after the disappearance of the princess. You can savor the orange and lemon flavor. This tea I loved inhaling as it lingered so lovely in my nose. This tea with its historical background was an overall intoxicating experience to drink. What a treat.
Kusmi Anastasia Tea is so YUM! This is a fantastic tea! It almost reminds me of Earl Grey. The simple and unique taste that I love - and to be honest I can't get enough of it. This is a blend that you must try. I take my tea plain because I like to take time and really taste the flavors on my palate. Get out there and wake up your senses with Kusmi Anastasia Tea.
