This is another squee-worthy sample of tea that JacquelineM sent me :)
The dry leaf smell is so very nummy — like a delicate black currant candy. The smell of the cup was a lighter more white-teaish version of the dry leaves. I was really surprised at how delicate this tea was. Dainty black currant (which I’ve only had black currants that were like “hey, I’m in your tea — makin’ it all curranty”) and light white tea.
As I was drinking the second lovely steep I was reading Steepster and saw Jessica mention marshmallows for another review (for Golden Moon’s Vanilla Jasmine) and it was a “eureka!” moment. This tea conjures up black currant flavored marshmallows. It’s a very pleasant tea, but I’m not clamoring for more. When I finally place my first 52 Teas order? Yes, I will get a larger bag if available. NE

First time I had it I was like, ‘eh, ok’. And somehow I’ve ordered 4 bags of it, lol. 2 orders of one bag each, and then I decided I better stock up when I finished bag number two and ordered 2 more bags.
LOL — that’s awesome! I came close to mentioning that I think that this is a “sneak up on” tea where after I buy a bag there’ll come an unexpected point where I must…have…MORE and will cry if I ever run out. ;)
I’ve been begging Frank to put this on in the permanent collection.
