Ashmanra’s sipdown challenge – January 2024 Tea #4 – A winter inspired blend
S&V’s flavors usually last quite a while — more than most teas. But this one is just not aging well. Understandably! This is at least five years old! Tea is not immortal! But the flavor is leaning more towards a plastic note at this point, for some reason, that was not there when the tea was fresh. Just a note to not let this one age very much. Next time is a sipdown.

I love the idea of a tea being immortal and having supernatural powers of some sort!
haha, if only, for the sake of my tea collection. I will add that the second steep DOES taste a bit more like it’s supposed to (less off flavor notes).
We managed a sipdown on this tea tonight! I am keeping the tin so that when the cupboard gets lower I can purchase a bag – next this upcoming fall.
What a coincidence, ashmanra! Also, there are so many S&V teas I wouldn’t mind having a full tin of… S&V is the best.
