I got to this tea at my cousin’s house. She and her husband are not very addicted to teas but have a lot of twinings tea bags I haven’t tried yet. Sort of a tea paradise. ANyways, I decided to try this one for my 2:00 PM snack. I’m not very fond of black currant because it’s still a mystery to me in terms of tea. For the same reason, I followed some suggestions in Steepster and got to a decent brew. I didn’t sweeten it too much (just 3 drops) because it’s already very sweet in taste and aroma.
Very good, I would definetely have this in my cupboard.

Blackcurrant? Sounds good, but i haven’t seen that one lately… Maybe we should ask them for their store =)

They actually didn’t buy it, it was a present…but it’s twinings, so it shouldn’t be hard to find

This is my favorite of the blackcurrant teas I’ve tried. Such a rich and happy flavor. There are many many many black tea flavors out there. But of all that I have tried so far the Blackcurrant black tea has my number one spot. Blackcurrant is a species of berry resident to central and northern Europe and northern Asia. It is a dark purple color and very high in vitamin C.

I’ve never had blackcurrents before, so I’m not sure what they are supposed to taste like. But I have had black TEA before, and this tea doesn’t seem like a very flavorful black tea.
