Black Currant

Black Currant is also known as Cassis. It is both a propagated and wild grown berry which some claim originated in France. Cassis is a very popular beverage throughout Europe, known for being aromatic in smell and in taste. This particular aspect of Black Currant is very evident on this tea. Black Currant gained notoriety in 1712 for its beneficial properties, which were published by the Abbot Bailly inferring that Black Currant was indeed an aphrodisiac and should be consumed with great care. On a hot summer day Black Currant quenches one’s thirst very well.

We only use teas from the top 3 tea growing regions of Sri Lanka for our flavored black teas. These high grown districts produce teas that have classic Ceylon tea character, noted by floral bouquet and flavor notes, touches of astringency and bright coppery color. Perfect for the base of our flavored black teas. We tasted teas from various origins around the world and none made the grade. Flavoring oils, not artificial crystals, ensure our teas are high quality and taste great.
