This tea is one of my regular black teas that I love. I am drinking it right now with a A. Fuente King 'B' Rosado. It is a deeply flavored tea with really clear nice dark color. The Currant (like all of Takashima's flavored teas) is just a slight underlying note under the delicious Ceylon Black overtone.
It pairs nicely with this spicy cigar. I drink it with just a little shake of 'Splenda in it, not enough to give off that acrid taste that splenda can, just enough to take off the heavy tea aftertaste.
I find that most black teas go really well with Cigars since they have a little smokey edge to them.
