Tasty Tea

 

   Kia Ora and good morning! (Kia is hello in Maori {which is the indigenous language of New Zealand}

           - Pronounced: kia (key-ya) ora (or-a) and Maori (mow-ree like read)

           There are many many many black tea flavors out there. But of all that I have tried so far the Blackcurrant black tea has my number one spot. Blackcurrant is a species of berry resident to central and northern Europe and northern Asia. It is a dark purple color and very high in vitamin C.

Name: Blackcurrant Black Tea

Type: Black, blackcurrant

Company: Twinings of London

Purchased: World Market

Taste: This is my favorite of the blackcurrant teas I’ve tried. Such a rich and happy flavor.

Name: China White Blackcurrant

Type: White, blackcurrant

Company: Harrisons & Crosfield

Purchased: Brit’s Pub in Minneapolis

Taste: don’t steep longer than 2 minutes, becomes too intense. However, it seems that if milk is added it gains a new and interesting flavor. And again never add milk and lemon.

Sometime I’m going to stop by Indigo and taste their Blackcurrant that they sell in bulk. It smelled really good.
