The experience of visiting this southernmost enclave of Britannia is odd to say the least. One minute you're in Southern Spain enjoying tapas red wine and oranges and the next you're washing down fish and chips with a warm lager followed by a handful of imported black currants for dessert. Truly it is bizarre. The standout features continue as well - Gibraltar is home to Europe's only population of wild monkeys and unlike the rest of the UK cars are driven on the right hand side of the road. To say the least it's a one of a kind kinda place. Adding to the mystique is the combination of cultures that have come together to populate this tiny corner of the globe. As the rock sits at the bottom of Europe facing Africa it has long served as a cultural crossroads of sorts a meeting place for the many cultures that lie north and south of its borders. Sitting at this crossroads as it does it seems fitting that an herbal blend inspired by the territory should also serve as a meeting point of sorts. As such this blend combines blackcurrants a fruit typically associated with northern Europe and marries them with Rooibos an herb found only in Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTea Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rooibos\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e South Africa\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cederberg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Choice Grade #1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAltitude:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1500-2500 ft above sea level\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fermentation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rooibos Red \u0026amp; Black currant pieces Lime leaves Natural flavors\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCup Characteristics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flavor notes as solid as the Rock of Gibraltar.
