Just opened the last bag of this that I bought when it went on sale maybe… 7 years ago, which puts it in the running for the oldest tea in my cupboard! It still holds it’s own! The dry tea still smells really strong as does the steeped tea. The taste is still really strong too! It is way more black currant than bergamot. I’m actually having a bit of a hard time finding the berg, so maybe that part faded. The black currant alone is pretty tasty tho. It is strong, yet aromatic in an almost perfume like way where it lacks body to ground it, but not in an unpleasant way. I should really work on sipping this down and not tempt time any further in ruining a good tea.
