Rift Valley Currant is our custom black currant tea blend. 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 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. We took a purple-color approach to this blend by adding butterfly pea flowers, bringing a deep blue hue to the mix. 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. Along with antioxidants from the adaptogenic butterfly pea flowers, this blend is an antioxidant super-kicker.
