Curator note · Hyson
The deepest and darkest of the Hyson fruit blacks: rich, tart blackcurrant over a strong Ceylon base, essentially a grown-up Ribena with proper tea backbone instead of sugar. Unlike the summery strawberry and peach, this one is at its best hot in cold weather, where the dark berry and the malt make a genuinely warming, full-flavoured cup; it still chills well too. Of the five it is the most robust and the one that comes closest to standing in for a regular strong brew. A reliable, satisfying everyday flavoured black.
Lee Samuel Tucker · Curator · teas.co.uk

Hyson Blackcurrant Infused Black Tea is a single-origin Ceylon black tea with a deep blackcurrant note, picked into the Teas.co.uk curator selection alongside the rest of the Hyson Ceylon range as an honest dark-berry black.

The blend is pure Ceylon black tea with natural blackcurrant flavour, single-estate Sri Lankan with the Lion Logo certification on every box. Brew with just-off-boil water, three to four minutes, black for the fruit-tea cup.

Packaging: Follow the current UK pack and local-authority guidance; components can require different disposal routes.

Texture is a brisk Ceylon cup with a dark berry lift from the blackcurrant, the real tea backbone keeping it from tasting like flavoured water. Drinks well black for the fruit cup, or with a splash of milk for a richer afternoon brew. Standard Ceylon caffeine.

Curator notes: rated four point six out of five, the dark berry variant in the Hyson Ceylon range. Best brewed at standard strength with just-off-boil water for three to four minutes. Packaging information must be checked on the current UK pack.

Hyson Blackcurrant Infused Black Tea is a refined essential for the modern consumer seeking a sensory rich alternative to plain breakfast blends. Unlike standard fruit teas that can taste artificial or thin this infusion is structured to address the requirement for a strong brew through a complex botanical matrix of high altitude Ceylon leaves and natural fruit oils. These Hyson tea bags take that same approachable quality and put it into a simple format you can enjoy at home.

To experience the full British lifestyle feel this indulgent blackcurrant tea pairs nicely with a traditional afternoon tea or as a refreshing iced summer reset. Whether you are relaxing at home or need a consistent wellness boost during a busy day this blend gives you a zesty and invigorating experience that continues the Hyson tradition of quality into 2026.

How Does Hyson Blackcurrant Compare to:

  • Twinings Blackcurrant: While Twinings is a multi origin blend Hyson uses a 100 percent pure Ceylon base. It is the superior choice for those who want an authentic bold tea taste alongside the fruit.
  • Ahmad Tea Blackcurrant: Hyson offers a more specialized thirty two bag count which is ideal for those seeking premium quality in a compact export format.
  • Standard Supermarket Brands: Hyson uses high altitude leaves and natural liquid spray flavourings providing a much cleaner profile without the chemical aftertaste found in budget bags.

Brewing The Perfect Cup of Hyson Blackcurrant Infused Black Tea, 32 Tea Bags 32g

  • Water temperature: 100°C; fruit infusions need full heat to draw the colour and tartness from the hibiscus and rosehip base.
  • Measure: One bag per 200ml of just boiled water.
  • Steep: 5 minutes covered (covering keeps the volatile fruit oils in the cup rather than letting them escape with the steam).
  • Service: Drink unsweetened, or with a teaspoon of honey if you prefer it less tart. A slice of fresh fruit makes a good garnish.
  • Iced version: Brew 2 bags double strength in 200ml, cool completely, dilute with cold sparkling water over a tall glass of ice.
  • Caffeine: contains caffeine; a product-specific milligram figure is not claimed.
  • Best with: Victoria sponge, scones with jam, fresh berries, dark chocolate; or iced through a hot summer day.

Safety & Dietary Notes

Caffeine: contains caffeine; a product-specific milligram figure is not claimed.

  • Ingredients and dietary suitability: Check the current UK pack before purchase; formulations and allergen advice can change.
  • Caffeine: contains caffeine; a product-specific milligram figure is not claimed.
  • Allergens: Naturally derived flavours from the named fruits. Anyone with a hibiscus allergy should note that hibiscus is the principal base ingredient.
  • Nutrient Note: Hibiscus based brews are rich in anthocyanins (the antioxidants responsible for the deep red colour) and provide a clean vitamin C rich finish.
  • Shelf Life: See best before date printed on the pack; product remains safe past that date but loses aromatic strength. Store somewhere cool, dry and away from direct sunlight in an airtight container.
