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.

"Interesting, kind of sweet, kind of tart, kind of like currants but not quite. Then again; it's tea, not berries, so it's not shocking that it's a little off. By off I don't mean it's icky, just not what currants actually taste like. More like the concept of currants, I suppose. Regardless, I dog it, and drink it, and recommend it, especially in blends."

"I enjoy a cup of the currant tea in the morning. I have tried other brands where the currant flavor is a little stronger, and I think I prefer this one."

"A bit tricky to get perfect, and even then not my favorite. Might pick up another sampler, but not more than that."

"Way too bitter. I've never had a currant, but I would imagine they don't taste like this."

"This tea is ok, it is not tangy like real currants. I will not order it again."
