Indulge in a bold, masterfully orchestrated sensory profile: our premium Blackcurrant Flavored Black Tea offers an elite multi-estate foundation naturally infused with dark, luscious forest fruit accents. Composed of high-altitude orthodox leaves and vibrant botanicals, this gourmet blend releases a deep, commanding blackcurrant aromatic bouquet upon contact with hot water. The palate is treated to a rich, full-bodied mouthfeel where the structured briskness of classic black tea is beautifully balanced by the juicy, tangy sweetness of blackcurrant and dark berry leaves. The result is an exceptionally polished extraction that drinks magnificently hot and performs with stunning clarity when flash-chilled over ice.
The complex architectural depth of this blend relies on an uncompromising selection of raw ingredients sourced from the top three prestigious tea-growing regions of Sri Lanka (Ceylon): **Nuwara Eliya** (delivering refined, delicate top notes), **Dimbula** (imparting full-bodied, robust structure), and **Uva** (contributing a crisp, smooth finish). This high-grown orthodox base provides an inherently high antioxidant density and a beautifully balanced medium caffeine footprint.
To achieve its deep, authentic berry profile, these choice leaves are meticulously combined with whole **currants**, **blackberry leaves**, and a vivid visual tapestry of **mallow, cornflower, marigold, and sunflower petals**. Artfully handled and packed in Canada by the historic masters at **The Metropolitan Tea Company**, this small-batch formulation utilizes exclusively organic-compliant natural flavors to ensure a clean, true extraction with absolutely zero chemical aftertaste.
Hot Infusion Protocol: Calibrate your vessel using 1 to 1.5 heaping teaspoons of loose dry leaf per 8 to 12 ounces of freshly drawn, filtered hot water. Allow the mixture to steep progressively for 4 to 5 minutes to release the deep fruit esters and optimal antioxidant compounds before straining.
Chilled Presentation (Iced Tea): To prepare an exceptional cold-beverage extraction, deposit 6 slightly heaping teaspoons of loose leaf into a teapot or heat-resistant pitcher. Infuse with boiling water for a full 5 minutes to create a concentrated hot liquor. Strain completely, allow the extraction to cool, and pour over dense ice to lock in the bright, refreshing berry fruit notes.
