BLACKCURRANT FLAVOURED BLACK TEA

The blackcurrant flavour captures both the fragrance of the fruit and herbal notes of the leaves themselves. It is reminiscent of a fresh first flush Darjeeling. It combines very well with tea, therefore. It is one of those fragrances that reminds us of long, hot summer days ambling down country lanes. This flavoured black tea is made on the shop premises by hand. We use the finest, high grown teas from the beautiful island of Sri Lanka as the base and use natural, essential or nature identical flavouring oils to create the myriad aromatic options. We also use the leaves, flowers or fruits to add further flavour and visual appeal. Ever since the Chinese first added blossoms and fruit juices to tea centuries ago, people have enjoyed experimenting to find complementary flavours. The marriage of tea to natural fruit oils, flowers and spices, opens up an infinite variety of surprising tastes to the drinker. They are complemented by the addition of sugar and can be taken with milk if desired.
