Description

Deep black currant aroma and flavor. Just imagine a currant bush full of berries. Stunning as an iced tea. It is blended from black tea, currants and blackberry leaves, with mallow, cornflower petals, marigold petals and sunflower petals for colour. Use about 2.5 g (one teaspoon) per cup, with water at 95–100°C, and steep for 3–5 minutes. Try it straight, as a creamy milk tea, or chilled over ice. Its caffeine makes it a good way to start the day.
