Forgot to add: though it is a bit like Marco Polo,it has none of the astringency or bitterness that sometimes creeps out in that lovely tea, even though we steeped for four and a half minutes. Youngest liked it, too. I think Tower of London would probably win if I could only have one of these two, but it is very good.

I’m waiting for my Harney order which includes this tea! I’m super excited that you like it.

Oohhh! I agree on the astringency bit…. However, I have to profess my love for Tower of London and Black Currant over this one. Luckily, I don’t really have to choose just one!

Jen, I had black currant once and didn’t care for it, but it was a long time ago. Perhaps I should give it another try, I still have some of the sample left. I love love love Tower of London, even more than Paris, I think.
