Well darn. I tried this one again with double the leaf I would normally use, and my water has a fresh filter in it, and this is still lackluster. I taste the rose more now, but the LB in the base is still almost absent, and what’s more, what is there is almost bitter.
I have a LOT of this tea. I’m going to try cold brewing it because that may still result in a good cup, but otherwise there is like 2oz that are basically garbage now. This tea has aged much more poorly than many other of my black teas. LESSON LEARNED.

Do you have any more plain LB around? Or another good plain black tea? Maybe a bit of something you know to be fresh and strong added in would bring it back to good for you. Good luck!
Thanks for the suggestions. I’m not sure it would be worth it… the flavoring has mostly faded as well, so there isn’t much to this tea to redeem it. I’m still going to play around a little with it before declaring a time of death.

I don’t think rose teas age well. I have one and it started tasting stale. Bummer!
