Black Currant Tea combines the strength and intensity of an Orange Pekoe black tea with the flavor and health benefits of black currants and black currant leaves. A handsome dark golden color, this infusion is rich in iron and potassium, two minerals vital to the healthy functioning of the body. With mild fruity notes, the natural sweetness of the currants fills the cup with explosive taste.

A few weeks ago I found myself at a pirate festival. No, really. People dressed up and swashbuckling and even a sea battle! I love that sort of Ren Faire stuff, and the pirate twist was fun.
My significant other had to laugh, because as soon as I saw the booth with the tea jolly rodger (a teacup over crossbones), I was lost to the group, and spent a good quarter of an hour pouring over blends and having earnest tea conversations with my fellow piratical tea enthusiasts.
This is a local company, apparently, and I am always delighted to find new tea merchants. After discussing a great deal with both the staff and the people who had drunk these blends before, I made my selection, and rejoined the scurvy masses, tea in hand.
This was one of those blends. I love black tea and fruit blends, I could drink them in every season (and, honestly, do), so I thought their black currant would be a good test of the waters.
And, well, its fine. It does not have the full bloom of the currant flavors that I would hope for, but its still a decent cup of tea. I’ll sip it down no problem.
I can’t wait to try the other blends I picked up!
Pirates! I feel so culturally deprived!
It was so much fun!
I hope your tea has enough fruit to prevent scurvy, matey.
