Additional notes: I’m a little sick of writing tasting notes about ancient teas that say “the flavor isn’t the same”. That isn’t really fair to the tea because I’m a hoarder. But I also think I’ve been a hoarder for so long, that I can usually tell when a tea should have more or less flavor based on the age. I’m also sure Anne is sick of me mentioning aging teas. haha. But I think it’s more of a note for me to keep track of how fast teas age, so I don’t do that in the future.
Anyway… HAPPY TO REPORT: this tea as delicious as when I first had it! It’s a really great combination of ingredients. So mapley! The second steep too. Raising the rating from 84. I’m glad I got a full pouch from a grab bag… this tea might last a while.

I wonder if I have this one. If so, I’m happy to hear that it hangs onto its flavour! Possibly because I’m in the same boat as you, I definitely appreciate hearing about which teas have held up and which haven’t. I’m finding it to be very hit or miss with some, which is quite interesting.
Kittenna – I’m often noticing you posting about many of the same older teas that I do, so I’ll just think of it as helping people know which tea are aging gracefully. haha
