I probably shouldn’t admit how old this tea is because, uh, it’s more than a year. And I have no idea why, because it’s delicious! Looks like a nice full leaf sencha, with a very mild blend of chai spices. The cinnamon/clove comes through most out of them, with a bit of almond and rose present, but the tea flavor is very much there as well.
2nd steep, 4 minutes, equally good

It’s gratifying to hear you say that something over a year old still works well, given that with the amount of tea I have recently bought I expect to be in that boat in about 12 months. ;-)
Yeah, it’s a little embarrassing given the “drink it within 6-12 months” advice, but if it still tastes good, I still drink it ;)
Rose in a chai? YUM! The fact that it’s discontinued though makes me very sad.
It might come back? Dragonwater was one of my favorite companies a couple years ago when I started drinking loose leaf; it looks like they’ve stopped carrying tea, only tisanes instead, to cut costs, but I’m hoping it’s temporary!
