pink champaign currants, a variety of Ribes rubrum or red currants

Oak Summit Nursery · Southern Manitoba

pink champaign currants, a variety of Ribes rubrum or red currants. like white currants, they have a sweet candy flavour, none of the astringency you can find in some red or black ones, and none of the typical musky currant flavour. in the same way that some of the best tasting clove currants are very different from typical black currants, and how the wild american currants have a very different flavour profile, these are a currant that just tastes like its own thing.
