ctjuggler drank Raspberry Blackcurrant by Higgins & Burke

112 tasting notes

The ingredients don’t go together that well. It doesn’t taste objectionable but it doesn’t really taste good either.

Unfortunately there are no raspberries or black currant in this Raspberry Black Currant tea. Maybe the natural flavor is supposed to taste like raspberry and black currant but I am having trouble tasting it.

Actually I kind of like Rosehip & Hibiscus tea (which are the first two ingredients in this tea) but the other ingredients don’t go that well together.

At least it is a beautiful ruby red color. It makes me happy just looking at it.

Flavors: Hibiscus, Rosehips

Preparation

195 °F / 90 °C 4 min, 30 sec 10 OZ / 295 ML

Ugh, lots of companies do that. “This tastes like raspberry!” No it’s hibiscus. I see that with juices too. “This is cranberry/raspberry!” No, it’s 95% apple juice.

Profile

Bio

I just recently got into tea (fall of 2015).

I love trying many types of tea. So far I have tried many Black, Oolong, Green and White teas as well as Yerba Mate, Rooibos, Honey Bush, Chamomile, Mint and fruit teas. I have liked good teas in almost every category. I don’t go for overly bitter/astringent, tart, or sweet teas and I never add milk/cream, sugar or other sweeteners to my tea.

Even though I have many excellent teas I always want to try a new one just to see what it tastes like and if I like it even better than my current favorites. Eventually I will focus more on drinking my favorites rather than always trying a different type of tea.

Ratings:

85+ Excellent and I will definitely repurchase soon so I don’t run out.

75-84 Really good and I will probably buy it again.

65-74 Good and I might buy it again but on the other hand maybe I won’t repurchase.

50-64 OK and I might finish the box.

1-49 Really did not like it at all. I probably dumped out the rest of the cup for the teas on the lower end of this range.

I am only doing one review per tea. If I drink it multiple times and my opinion changes then I will go back and update my rating and tasting notes.
