Black currant is one of those flavors that goes quite nicely in a good black tea. I've not yet had a bad black currant flavored tea. Tea forte's black currant black tea continues that trend nicely, adding some sweet blackberry to go along with the currant flavors.
The base black tea is a really good Yunnan tea, with flavor notes of its own, which makes the resulting brew all the better. The fruity qualities are lushly aromatic but less strong in the taste. It's not overly fruited, like the horrid cough medicine quality black cherry tea from Tea Forte I tried a few months ago, for which I thank all the household gods of tea.
It's not remarkable, life-changing, revelatory tea. It's a basic fruited black tea that has a nice balance of fruit and tea -- an above the ordinary caffeine delivery system.
