Martin thoughtfully sent this my way since he knows me so well! Blackcurrant and cardamom? Delightful!
The blackcurrant is really lovely and there’s a sweetness here (more in scent than taste). The chokecherry adds a hint of tartness that is almost imperceptible, but still there. The cardamom falls toward the back and I have to concentrate to find it — interesting since there was a whole cardamom pod in the dry leaf. I do wish it was a bit more balanced, but a unique cup that I’m quite happy to have had the opportunity to try.
That sounds like such an interesting combination!

Maybe more cardamom is needed. And yes, I know you well.
