The first thing I noticed when I opened this is that the sticker on the tin said, “Best by 3/2015”…seriously, less than six months? That seems super short for a black tea. I emailed them to see if something about this one makes it fade fast or if I got an old tin.
The dry leaf smelled really great, like fresh oranges. Brewed it was the same. The kumquat flavor is very bright and I really enjoyed the cup. I guess it’s a good thing if I have to drink it down by March!
i recall something on their website about expiration dates…..
I ordered four black teas in this order, all of the others had much longer dates.
I have a flavored green from Lupicia past the date on the package that still tastes delicious! So a black tea should be okay?
