Black Currant Tea was our first flavored black tea. You'll enjoy its "big" flavor of fruit and berry. Always a hit, either hot or iced. Our founder, John Harney, learned about teas from his mentor Stanley Mason. Stanley, an Old-school British tea man, only wanted black teas and traditional blends. However, one day when Stanley was not looking, John made this delicious fruity blend. Chinese black tea is the base of this flavored tea. The leaves are dark and blended with currants. Loose tea in a 4 ounce tin, enough to brew up to 40 cups of tea, depending on how strong you like your tea. Harney & Sons is a Proud Member of 1% for the Planet.
