FrostRanger#tea
Now that the backlog is out of the way, today's tea is black currant. It's a black tea with blackberry leaves and I assume currant. I didn't see any fruit bits with the leaves, but I could definitely smell it. The actual flavor was as expected, very much dominated by the berries, which in this instance is fine (versus the citrus mint where you would have hoped would taste at least a little like citrus and not just mint, but I digress.) I would have preferred the berry flavor been a bit more subtle so I could taste the tea more, but I still enjoyed it. I give it a 3/5. A solid choice if you want a nice berry flavored tea. I would also think this would be somewhat helpful if you have a sore throat as blackberry leaves are amazing for that. Since I do not have a sore throat ATM, I can't test that.
