Rift Valley Currant is our custom black currant tea. Black currants, sometimes spelled blackcurrant, are native to Europe. The taste of this tea, like a black currant, is tart and earthy, with sweet murmurs. Rift Valley Currant is delectable. Don't expect it to be berry sweet, rather complex and layered. The liquor's various purple hues are beautiful and robust.
Rift Valley Currant combines healthy black currants with our prized Kenyan Purple tea. The Great Rift Valley of Africa is a 3,700 mile long trench that passes through all of Kenya. The name of this tea honors the Kenyan teas we source from this region.
From a healthy perspective, this tea has a few heavy hitters. Black currants are rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, while purple tea, with high amounts of anthocyanin, is antioxidant rich.
