“This is nice and simple, there’s not a whole lot of depth to it. But sometimes that’s just perfect. I found the black currant to be very nicely balaced with the tea, and over all an easy going cup.” Read full tasting note

From Murchie's Tea & Coffee

A clear, smooth black tea base that enhances the full fruit flavour of black currants.

Comforting in winter and delicious as an iced tea in summer.

Originally blended: 1950’s

A favourite for decades. Murchie’s has combined the deep fruity tones of succulent black currants with a smooth and subtle black tea finish to create a mouth watering, refreshing cup of tea.

Tea Bag Ingredients: Black tea (Ceylon, Keemun), natural and artificial flavouring

Loose Tea Ingredients: Black tea (Ceylon, Keemun), dried blueberries, natural and artificial flavouring, cornflower petals

Brewed this up earlier today, and it smelled identical to a black currant. Amazing! Just had a sip though, hours after making it, and there’s a bizarre white coating on the sides, with what looks like oil drops suspended in the mix. It looks… sickly, so I’m dumping it, although the one gulp I did have was delicious – this would be fantastic iced. JustJames, I really hope I remembered to send you some of this.

Thank you OMGsrsly for sharing this with me!

That is so weird! Of course, I haven’t tried the bagged ones. I never noticed this when I got it loose (ages and ages ago).
