Cultural Heritage and Traditional Use
Blackcurrant leaves hold a significant place in European herbal traditions, particularly in regions where the plant naturally thrives. For centuries, communities across Northern and Eastern Europe have integrated blackcurrant leaf tea into their traditional wellness practices.
In Russian folk medicine, blackcurrant leaves were often combined with other herbs to create therapeutic blends. The gathering and processing of these leaves became an important seasonal activity, with specific traditions surrounding harvest times and drying methods.
Modern interest in blackcurrant leaf tea emerged during World War II when citrus fruits became scarce in Britain. The leaves' high vitamin C content made them a valuable alternative source of this essential nutrient.
