On a tip from Cofftea (http://steepster.com/Cait/posts/25139) I tried this again with cooler water and a shorter steeping time. That did bring out a little more taste, but not really a whole lot more — certainly nothing like what the other reviewers are describing — and it produced a very rough-textured tea as well. I think I shall just pour the rest of these sweet-scented leaves into a potpourri dish and look into obtaining a fresh batch for drinking.

This leads me to believe that it is indeed old and not just substandard- at least I hope that’s the case, being old can be remedied! Question… Where do you buy Jack’s Royale Jamaican Rum Tea? I’ve been looking for a rum tea since Adagio discontinued their’s.
I will keep my fingers crossed!
The rum tea is from a dealer I found through a science fiction convention, in fact! It’s the only rum tea I’ve ever had, so I don’t know how it stacks up that way, but it is sweet and very tasty: http://www.cyphrevoudou.com/the_albino_raven.html
