Hello All,
Some may disagree, but I find the scent of black currants invigorating and
healthy. Just started picking my Ben Lomond.
I have a question... (or two)
How is the taste of a black currant variety rated?
I find the Titania is a bit sweeter, but lacks some of the spicyness of
the Ben Lomond. Some spicyness of Ben Lomond comes through as an
aftertaste. I would rate the Ben Lomond the better berry, but only by a
titch.
It is not like comparing apples where taste can be so diverse.
Second...
Is there a good black currant tea recipe (leaves/stems/berries) out there?
So how do currant varietiess get rated (flavorwise)?
Thanks,
Tom
