★★★★★

This is a rare one, for me. I usually have to add some sort of sweetener to tea, to bring out the flavor. But this tasted delicious right from the start. A new favorite.

★★★★★

Very well balanced black tea that reminds me of berry picking with my family

★★★★★

Of the flavored teas I have tried, this one is one of the winners. The currant really stands out against the black tea.

★★★★★

So good! This has a very unique, strong flavor. I really enjoy this one, it's a delicious a pick-me-up.

★★★★☆

I like this tea, because I love black currant. It smells strongly of curant in the bag and maintains a currant flavor in the cup. Although it s not one of my top 5, I will have it one in a while to have some variation in my tea.

★★★★☆

very strong, very short steeping makes this a flavorful tea.

★★★★★

New favorite fruity black tea. It's sharp and sweet, reminding me of both raspberries and cranberries (likely because I am unfamiliar with the taste of currants on their own). Will purchase again.

A great tea on its own or blended with other flavors. Rich and fragrant.
I have better luck steeping this one a little longer than my usual, if enjoying it as a stand alone.

★★★☆☆

I'm not wild about this flavor but I don't hate it either. I think I am just not a fan of tart fruit-flavored black teas.

★★★★☆

Sweet, jammy, and delicious! Great with a little bit of cream or milk, but just like the other berry teas I've tried from Adagio it is easily overwhelmed by too many additions. So just enjoy it as-is!

The flavor was okay not my favorite though. But great to drink on those chilly days.

This smells and tastes distinctly of currants, which might be off-putting to people who don t share their grandparent s taste in fruits. If you re not one of those people, this is a good pick.

I usually don’t like fruity teas, but this is so good! It’s very smooth and tastes great.

★★★★☆

It has a lovely, complex flavor with every sip. I like this tea a lot more than I expected to!!

One of my daily favs! This also makes a great ice tea!

★★★★☆

Very mild currant taste. More of a black tea taste with a hint of current. Very yummy!

Currant smells amazing, and it tastes wonderful. Not astringent at all. I've had it hot, with and without a splash of vanilla soy milk, and last week, I tried it iced. Berry flavors are always lovely iced, and this one is no exception. The flavor stays on your tongue for a while, but not cloying. I will have to get more.

Absolutely lovely. Good balance between sweet berries and an acidic finish.

I really like this tea a lot. It has a nice sweet taste without being to sweet. I will definitely buy this again.

★★★★★

I expected this to be spicy like chai (I think I was under the impression that currant was a spice of some kind but it is, in fact, a fruit! The more you know!) but it was very sweet and I was pleasantly surprised. It has a flowery/fruity flavour that is very mild and delicious. I would recommend this for anyone who doesn't like a 'sweet overload' in their teas.

Delicious currant flavor. Perfect as is, or with cream.

★★★★★

Just the right amount of currant flavor, tastes great hot or iced.

★★★☆☆

This tea was fine, but I didn't love it. Get the blackberry instead.

★★★☆☆

Flavorful, but had an odd aftertaste. Will not order again.

★★★★☆

Not as fruity as I dreamed it would be, but still a nice taste. I sweetened it with maple syrup and added some cream. Almost perfect cup of tea!

★★★☆☆

Honestly not one of my favorite teas. It isn't a really noticeable flavor to be honest but I don't hate it.

★★★★★

My favorite. Simple, black tea with a very prominent smell of currant. Not too complex but still very enjoyable.

Hesitated because i grew up eating red currants fresh off the bush...but it only took the first sip!!! I can't wait to make ice tea this summer !!!

★★★★★

Wow. This is just absolutely amazing. I had high expectations for this tea and it did NOT disappoint. Just perfect!

★★★☆☆

It is OK flavored black tea, nothing from black currant - some average fruit smell.

★★★★☆

I got this tea for my mom because she had tried a currant tea at a restaurant and loved it. She liked this tea but said it wasn't as good as she was anticipating.

★★★☆☆

I love the Harney and Sons version of this tea, so I assumed I would like Adagio's version either as much or better. I was wrong. This tea lacked the freshness and flavor I was expecting.

★★★☆☆

This is a tasty flavored black tea, but it's very astringent and makes my tongue feel intensely prickly. Sometimes I'm in the mood for it, sometimes not. Overall, I wouldn't get it again.

★★★★★

Many years ago I tried a currant tea and loved it but could never find it again anywhere. Years after that (I know, I guess I'm getting old) I found this wonderful company and their currant tea. Love at first sip, both for this tea and this company.

★★★★☆

I honestly really like this tea. sweet, but not too sweet, and really good to blend with a vanilla tea.

★★★☆☆

I got this for my mom; she wanted to try it. She said, 'It's not the best, but it's not the worst, either.'

I tried mixing this with earl grey and I liked it more than either by themselves.

★★★★☆

I do love this tea for blending with hazelnut. Brings a slight berry aroma to my morning! Can be strong if steeped too long.

Sweet and just a bit tangy. I love the sort of jelly-flavor to this tea.

★★★★☆

Very good black tea. Just be careful of over steeping! Turns a wee bit bitter if sitting for too long.

★★★★★

wonderful smell and flavor. nice addition to tea rotation

★★★☆☆

Currant smells like the wonderfully unique berry flavor that it is. It's in between sweet and tart in this black tea, and isn't cloying nor artificially flavored, nor is it rough and tangy enough to curl the tongue. It's slightly dry after drinking. We brewed this iced first overnight, and it tastes great! This would be the tea to turn to if you're tired of the usual big berry flavors (raspberry, strawberry, blueberry) but still want something berry-ful. I couldn't remember what currant tastes like since it doesn't seem to be commonly available where I live, and didn't have much hopes for it since I picked it up on a whim. I'm really glad I did! I love it. Trying it warm will also be a treat.

Edit: I've knocked it to 'okay'; it's a very nice berry flavor but nothing particularly endears me to it aside from that it's not blue- or- straw-berry. For me this is a 'once in a while sampler'.

★☆☆☆☆

One of my favorite teas is called 'Black Currant' I was hoping this tea would be similar, but it smelled and tasted too much like potpourri.

Nice and fruity, well balanced. This is one of my husband's favorite blends.

★★★★☆

I didn't know what to expect, but this is a really nice tea. Fruity; good with milk. Folks who are not health freaks like me should probably add a little sugar.

The taste was not as strong as I was expecting it to be but I still is still good.
