Backlog. This was one of my favorites of the Dilmah teas. I admit I’ve never eaten an actual black currant (although I have had the red ones), but I have eaten candies flavored like them. This tea tasted exactly like those candies! It was good plain, not too bitter or astringent with strong fruit flavor, and with a little sugar added it was delicious. When I have some room in my cabinet I want to buy it.
Elizabeth, college student, anthropology major, bio and history minor. I love to travel and try new foods (and teas!). I also enjoy music, books, video games as often as I can get my hands on them.
I loved tea as a kid, didn’t drink it for about ten years, and then rediscovered it a couple of years ago. Tea sometimes helps me feel better when chronic illness is making things hard. It’s also fun to experiment with!
I’m still pretty new to the types and brands of tea out there, but I’m interested in trying some of everything. My favorites are earl greys, yunnans, medium-bodied oolongs, Japanese greens, fruit, vanilla, and floral flavors (especially jasmine and rose). My least favorites are teas that are overly smoked, bitter, or contain strong hibiscus or orange peel.
