Our Review

Our founder, John Harney, learned about teas from his mentor: Stanley Mason. And Stanley, as Old-school British tea man, only wanted black teas and traditional blends. However one day when Stanley was not looking, John made this delicious fruity blend.

A little bolder fruity flavor

Average Review:

We are avid tea drinkers and my husband noticed immediately when I took the black currant tea tin to work with me. The flavor is moderate but more bold than the green/white fruit tea blends. The black currant pairs well with the China black tea, it stands up well to the medium body.

Tastey Tea

Average Review:

I had never been much of a tea drinker in the past. However, I was recently introduced to Black Current tea at an afternoon tea and I fell in love with it! I went to the grocery store, looking for some Black Current tea, and decided to try this brand. Boy, was I pleased by the taste and quality! This is the best tea I have ever had. In addition to the superb quality and taste, the tea comes in the cutest little tin box, making this a lovely gift for any tea lover. A must-buy!

Fresh taste

Average Review:

Real nice flavor.

Ryan 9/2/11

A very pleasant, balanced tasting tea.

Average Review:

This tea has a fruity aroma and a medium dark color. With the first sip you can taste the subtle black currant flavor and the overall taste is very approachable, not dry or smoky at all. A little sugar, just a little, goes well with the black current flavor. Cream isnâ€™t necessary but it doesnâ€™t hurt. Overall this is fine, pleasant tea.

Great fruity flavor--

Average Review:

This tea has a great fruity taste that's not cloying or artificial. I love a strong cup in the morning with cream and sugar. One of my favorite H & S teas.

Good to have around for a change

Average Review:

I have tried five flavored black teas, and this is my second like so far. It is a little too strong perhaps when you brew it for the full time, so I usually do a brief steep. But it is one of the very good accompaniments to sweet bread topped with a berry or cherry preserve.

Best Tea We've Ever Had

Average Review:

My husband drinks tea by the gallon and we were recently with friends who live on St. Simon's Island where we were served the Black Current tea, iced, for the first time. We had a hard time finding this and are thrilled to have finally connected to a source! My husband is going to be a happy camper on Christmas morning when he opens this box!

My All Time Favorite Tea

Average Review:

I encountered this tea while having high tea a number of years ago. I have become absolutely addicted to it!! No other tea has come close to this flavor.

BEST FLAVORED TEA I EVER HAD

Average Review:

I have been buying Harney & sons teas for years, & when I tried the Black Current I fell in love. The best flavored tea I ever had, 2nd to the pomegranate oolong. I would like to see John blend a little sage to this tea.

Charles 7/18/10

Delicious Tea!

Average Review:

My wife and I first tried this tea on a short vacation at Two Meeting Street Inn in Charleston, South Carolina. It is simply the most delicious, and refreshing tea we have ever tasted. We've had it hot and iced, and love it both ways. Try it!

Felisha 7/6/10

PERFECT

Average Review:

Simply put, it is the best! I was so disappointed B&N/Starbucks stop selling this particular blend. Even though I have fallen for the African Autumn, nothing beats Black Currant.

Aaron 3/13/10

A vastless array of berry delight

Average Review:

To begin, this tea is absolutely amazing! This tea is excellent for the price, I have had at least one cup a day for weeks, and I still have half the tin left. This tea has a rather full and delicious flavor. It leaves a sweet aftertaste with a hint of berries. I have never felt a cup of tea go down my throat so smoothly. 10 stars, I definitely look forward to buying more Harney products soon

Reminds me of England

Average Review:

I tried this tea at a local coffee shop. I loved it! The black currant reminds me of the trip to England I took in college. If you like black currant you will not be disappointed.

Raquel 9/28/09

My favorite tea!

Average Review:

I ran into this tea flavor at a conference in DC a few years back. Love and first wiff! Then a little tea shop downtown opened up - carrying Harney & Sons Black Currant tea loose leaf. I fell in love again and now drink tea pots of this tea. The tea shop no longer carries this fantastic flavor, so I order it frequently from this website. A very special comforting aromatic tea.

Jessica 9/16/09

Perfect Black Currant Tea

Average Review:

I have tried twenty+ blends of Black Currant tea and this one is so far superior it is a class by itself. Very fruity and sweet, with a wonderful full aroma. This is not only my favorite black currant tea, it is my favorite of any tea. Well worth a try if you havent had it before.

To Have A Cup Of Tea With A Cat & Other Cat Tails

Average Review:

If you are a tea drinker you will love Harney & Sons Tea. I had a cup (Earl Grey Supreme) while at a resort in San Diego and liked it so much I brought the wrapper home. You will equally love my book, To Have A Cup Of Tea With A Cat & Other Cat Tails. Find me at www.gailmcnaughton.com.

A Cupboard Staple

Average Review:

I love this one hot. The currant translates more to a very present berry note than anything else. What I love, even more, is this one iced. The berry notes just sing, along with the rich tea base to make a very refreshing glass of iced tea.

Susan
