Description
CHECK OUT ALL MY TEA ILLUSTRATIONS ON DEVIANTART OR ON TUMBLR .Hooray! Another tea! This is blackcurrant tea, which was introduced to me by the wonderful . Blackcurrants are a dark, round berry that is very popular in England in the form of tea, jams, jellies, etc. The tea is brewed from the leaves and berries, and so is purple and fruity in flavor.
(Unfortunately, blackcurrants aren't as popular in the US because its farming was once banned, due to the belief that it spread diseases to American lumber species. Now blackcurrant farming is making a comeback over here in the states.)
Blackcurrants are harvested in the summer--this gave me the idea of a cute English farmgirl with a basket full of summer blackcurrants and a sheepdog following her. Then I changed the sheepdog to a red fox, which I find strangely iconic of England...
Got my info here and here .
