Decaffeinated Blackcurrant from Upton Tea Imports

gmathis drank Decaffeinated Blackcurrant by Upton Tea Imports

I’m trying to like this one. I really am. It doesn’t like me back, much. Something about the blackcurrant flavor is—flat? stale? A little Sugar in the Raw did improve it enough to finish the cup.

Not much left in the sample; I may see if it’s blendable with something a little more friendly.

Win some, lose some. (Speaking of lose some, anybody seen my other brown sparkly earring?)

Sorry… I think the gremlins took it away to Neverland. :)

Shame on those gremlins. I guess I’ll just have to go buy cheap gaudy trinkets at the local $1 jewelry outlet.

I was not terribly impressed with this myself.

I wonder if a little maple syrup might autumn it up a little.

Bio

Somebody asked me once when I became a tea junkie; I think it dates back to college when I needed caffeine for a 7 a.m. class but chose not to do coffee. My favorite teapot is a medium-sized Brown Betty given to me by my Mema; the painted flowers are chipping off, but the size and feel is perfect. I rejoice when I get a morning to brew a pot of loose tea starting with a kettle; not a bag and a hot pot.
