Steep Information:
Amount: 2 tsp

Per all the tasting notes on Steepster I should try this iced.
It smells better than it tastes to me. It is a good cup of tea but I don’t see myself craving it.

less bitter than the first steep, a tad weaker

I’ve read all the good reviews about having this iced, but what exactly do black currants taste like? Are they tart like raspberries, sweet like strawberries? Are they comparable to any other fruit?
to me it was this generic sweet almost sweet strawberry-blueberry kinda taste, never had a currant before so that’s as close as i can compare it’s this sweet berry followed by a little tart that might be the white tea and not the fruit? hmm maybe i need to get some currants
hmm, okay thanks! i need to be on the lookout for teas that would be good iced!
@erin caffeinated iced or not caffeinated?
Preferably caffeinated.
Harney and Sons Black Currant is great iced … I’m sure this would be similar.
