Still working my way through the Simpson and Vail order I received yesterday. This tea smells very fruity in the tin and has purple flowers in it. :)
This was steeped for around 3 minutes and soymilk was added, but I think it would be very good plain as well. This tea is hefty enough for morning but would also be good as an afternoon tea. The currant flavor is light and not too sickening like some currant teas can be. The description says China and India teas but I’m not sure I could place which ones – perhaps a yunnan and an assam? In any case I definitely like this blend and am happy I got a tin of this. It will be a great everyday drinker.

Such a beautiful tea! (That’s not something to which I usually pay any attention, so I find this one especially remarkable.) I couldn’t find any Ribena at my usual supermarket the last time I was there. I’m itching to sweeten one of these currant teas with just a few drops of Ribena. =)
Oh, I’m sorry, I always include links and completely forgot.
