Scotch and Abram's Blackcurrant is a flavored black tea that earns the bold in its flavor profile. Full-bodied black tea as the base, real currants and blackberry leaves for deep berry character, and a striking mix of mallow, cornflower, marigold, and sunflower petals that make this one of the most visually distinctive loose leaf teas in the range. Full-bodied and smooth with bold, tangy blackcurrant notes over a proper black tea foundation. The blackcurrant is the dominant character - vivid and slightly sharp - with the black tea adding body and keeping the cup from feeling like a fruit infusion. Works well hot or iced, with or without milk. How to brew the perfect cup Use freshly boiled water, not left to cool. Use one heaped teaspoon per cup. Steep for 3 to 5 minutes depending on preferred strength. Try it without milk first - the blackcurrant comes through brightest without it. How does it compare?
