January Sipdown Prompt – your oldest tea
I am not counting teas that age like pu-erh norma couple of ancient herbals. This seems to be my oldest camellia sinensis and I am a little peeved to see that I didn’t even have it listed in my cupboard after all these years.
I really like this tea and have liked all the Russian style blends from Kusmi pretty well. This is essentially a white Earl Grey. The best by date was in 2021 and here it is 2024 and still flavorful. The level of bergamot is really good for me as I don’t like it overwhelmingly strong. This is moderate, so if you don’t like bergamot it probably won’t be your cup of tea,
I guess I need to focus on this one for a sipdown since it is older than I realized.
I’m giving you a round of applause over here—that your oldest tea has a best by date of 2021. :D
Ha ha! Thank you very much! (takes bow)
