Black Currant Bai Mu Dan from 52teas

Okay, so I’m trying really hard not to toot my own horn here. I don’t want to ruffle any feathers. But you guys HAVE to try this. I know it’s not as out there as Buttered Cinnamon Raisin Toast or Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup, but this is DELICIOUS! I’m thinking we may have listed the ingredients incorrectly. (We’re supposed to list ingredients according to weight, so that whatever there is most of has to come first. Well, I think instead of “tea, black currants…” it should have been “black currants, tea”). We really put a lot of delicious black currants in this blend and our Bai Mu Dan is spectacular with it. Really, you should try it.

I think anything you guys come up w/ falls into the HAVE to try catagory because even if you don’t have the “OMgosh THIS SOUNDS SO GOOD!” reaction, you have the “OMgosh… this is weird… GOTTA TRY IT!” reaction. Although I will say this is a little too much on the normal side for my expectations of 52teas.

Yeah, the thing is (as I tried to say in the posts related to the white teas), white tea doesn’t really lend itself to the extravagance of cherry vanilla cola or buttered cinnamon raisin toast or chocolate peanut butter cup. At least in my opinion, the white tea is too subtle to be drown in such flavors. It would be like putting ranch dressing on sorbet.

We are working on a white chai, but I’m not quite happy with it yet.

Sign me up for that one! Yeah, I know what you mean though. Infact when you said currants should have been listed 1st I was concerned right away. I thought even that may drown out the white tea.

Even though I haven’t ordered from you yet, I’d been meaning to comment somewhere on Steepster to you that your white tea blends sounded quite yummy, even if they aren’t as bold or unusual as your usual blends.
