I like cassis, one of my favourite ice cream blends is cassis with coconut. I like the mix of tart and sweet and that unique black currant taste.
I am of two minds about this tea. There is something off putting about the scent where it does occasionally remind me of what ifjuly found ( cat urine), but at times the flavour is pleasant. It has a tartness to it which is rather hibiscus like but there is also cream, a reference to the sweet and slight spiciness of cassis, and a certain depth and richness to the base. It is not as sharp as some blackcurrant teas I have had. This is probably not a tea I would buy but it is not terrible if you can avoid that occasional smell.
Thanks * JustJames* for the experience.

Thanks for the recommendation! I actually haven’t tried any Lupicia, but I’ll probably attempt the phone order option someday. They have a number of teas I’d like to try someday.
I don’t know whether you’ve tried Cassis & Blueberry from Lupicia, but I liked that one a lot. :)

I’m planning on doing an order soon, so let me know if you’d like me to add anything for you.
Thanks!
Good tip, Cameron B. I’ll have to check that out when I run out of Melon Oolong! :)
