I had a pot of this today. It was pretty old. The first cup I had, when I found it again, was pretty good. Each time I’ve been more and more disappointed. I can’t tell if that’s because it’s old, or just that my expectations were pretty low the first time. Anyway, it was a fruity cup, with not too much noticeable rooibos, and I ended up throwing out the rest.

I keep it in a tin in the freezer and it stays really fresh.. I’m having some now and it’s been in the freezer for months and it is as delicious as always.

I’ve been into tea, at some level, since college with a first tin of loose tea brought back by my parents from Oxford. My love of tea increased with a visit to Boston and a chance cup at Tealuxe. Since then I’ve only gotten more interested in tea and have developed more of an appreciation for it.

100: a perfect cuppa. these are the teas I’ll keep in my cupboard and tend to be one per type of tea.

90-99: will definitely get more of this tea

80-89: likely to get more and perhaps it will become a favorite with time

70-79: very good, depending on my mood or the season

60-69: wouldn’t actively try to get this tea, but also wouldn’t avoid it in a tea shop or restaurant

50-59: run-of-the-mill tea for me

40-49: decent, would hit the spot in some moods, but probably wouldn’t purchase it for my cupboard

30-39: okay, will try again, maybe

20-29: meh. I’d try this tea again if no other were available

10-19: drinkable, but a forced cup

0-9: didn’t even finish the cup
