Decaffeinated Blackcurrant from Upton Tea Imports

gmathis drank Decaffeinated Blackcurrant by Upton Tea Imports

Trying to make my peace with this one before the sample runs out. This attempt involved a little sweetening with maple syrup—well, if you can call Mrs. Butterworth’s real maple syrup ;) Hey, it was all I had…

…which means that the not-very-strong blackcurrant became merely a holding mechanism for the syrup.

It was such a lovely, crisp, apple-peel fresh-air sort of evening, it didn’t matter what I was sipping. I sat out in the back yard and smelled fall and felt bountiful for a while.

It almost sounds like a scone in a cup. Blackcurrant and maple syrup…all you needed was some bakery flavor.

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.
