I’m having a very old indeed bag of this, made up with twice boiled water because I forgot about it the first time, and then added a splash of cold to bring it down to temperature. It’s only a miracle that it’s not oversteeped to boot. And it’s fine.
I’m having tummy issues and I’m all out of minty. Don’t judge me.

Shh… this must be indeed very, very old! I am surprised it was still “fine”.
Couple of years old, I think. And who knows how old before packaging, selling etc.
But when you have unceremoniously parted ways with your lunch in the middle of the pavement the day before (so embarrassing!) and haven’t got anything minty, this does a great job as the next best thing for the circumstances. So it’s fine. :)
Haha, well I have this tea bag as one of the first in my collection. That’s 15 years at least :)
I was just thinking of you earlier today! I am sorry about the parting with lunch. I expect it was not “such sweet sorrow.” Oof.
Martin, weeeeeeell, it’s Pickwick. This is in the part of the range that will likely never change. My mum regularly bought their blackcurrant tea for decades, until she decided a different one was better.
ashmanra, there was definitely nothing sweet about it. It was more halfway between, “oh gosh, everybody saw, how mortifying!” and “why aren’t anybody helping me?!”
Yeah, maybe the image here on Steepster confused me a bit. Probably it is in new design, but still same blend. I don’t mind trying their teas, they are sometimes pretty nice for the price.
Oh no, mine still looks like this.
Well, then it will be very… very old :)
