Brand: David's Tea
Primary Type: Rooibos
Dry Scent: I was looking forward to trying this new tea-of-the-month because I've always loved black currants, and what do I find? Mmm...Ribena! This smells just like Ribena or black currant jelly. Absolutely delicious. There's a sun-warmed, faintly sharp scent from the rooibos and a little bit of leafy green-ness from the blackberry leaf.
Steeping Time: 6-7 min
Steeped Flavour: Before I even took the first sip, breathing in the aroma of this was like soaking in a warm tub full of a black-currant bubblebath I once had. Which might sound bad except that I always wanted to eat/drink that bubblebath! The flavour is delicate, with the sunwarmed rooibos providing a stable base for the rich, sweet-tartness of the black currants. So, so, so tasty! I might like a tiny bit more fruity and a little bit less rooibos, but that's just my personal taste.
Food/Drink Pairings: Breakfast, lunch, teatime...maybe not dinner but definitely dessert. I also have every intention of adding some Chambord to this to make it even more beautiful. If I had creme de cassis I would do that too! I think this would do well over ice with any nice dark fruity liquor. Purely yum!
