Description
In a quick survey performed by Adagio Teas, 9 out of 10 people didn't even know what a currant even was! So we're offering a tea to clarify the mystery. Combining the unique flavor of ripe currants with the bright, full taste of black tea from Ceylon, our Currant Tea is simply delicious!
Story
The currant seems first to have been cultivated sometime before 1600 in the Netherlands, Denmark, and elsewhere around the Baltic Sea. Bushes were taken to settlements in America early in the 17th century; most American varieties, however, originated there. Both red and black currants are used for making tarts, pies, jams, and jellies. Currants are extremely high in vitamin C and also supply calcium, phosphorus, and iron. Great Britain grows more black currants than any other country.
"I have reordered this already - it's got a mild flavor if you like flavored black teas, just enough to taste but it's not like some teas that taste like fruit juice because the flavor is so strong. Great for a cold winter morning!"
"I don't know if I have ever actually eaten a currant, but none the less I purchased some of this tea because it sounded interesting. I was so surprised at the delicioius flavor that I bought a bigger tin and shared with my friends. Very good 'berry' tea, brews up with that traditional 'berry' smell."
"This one has a nice fruity taste also. I preferred it not brewed too long. "
"I fully enjoyed this tea. I may have let it steep too long, but I do enjoy my tea to be strong.. Wonderful taste. highly recommended."
"Great tea! I was a little skeptical about this one, but the flavor is perfect."
"A favorite breakfast tea, just lightly fruity, and great with milk and honey!"
