This is probably the oldest tea in my cupboard (I believe it’s a year and a half old basically the last time that DT sold this) although it was only opened a month or two ago. I still have a whole bag of this unfortunately.
Nothing new to say it still tastes like sunscreen to me. I think I might try it as a chocolate milk cold brew like Variatea does next time. Since it seems like I’ve tried everything else to make it easier to drink. Since it was in a way a gift from a family member who mixed this tea up with another that I liked I feel somewhat obligated to use it instead of tossing it out.

The ingredients in this sound quite similar to Lazy Boy, a Bluebird tea I quite like which is a rooibos base with cocoa shells, coconut, and lavender. That one is very good as a latte with coconut milk. If you pick out a piece of the coconut and chew on it does it seem like it has soured from age? That seems to be the one ingredient everyone says doesn’t hold up with age well.
I didn’t like this tea even before it would have soured. The coconut is as fine as the rooibos so I can’t really pick one out to try unfortunately. I did try it once with coconut milk and still found it to be too lotion-y. I’d send you some of it but since I’m still a bit iffy on if the coconut has spoiled or not. I wouldn’t want to send you spoiled tea.
