I just have a few teaspoons of six month old sensha, although I think
it was also old when I got it. It's lost its grassy taste, but
instead has a yellow flower taste- some forthysia blossom, some
dandelion. It's quite pleasant, but I don't want to summer it. Are
there othr teas which should be used up NOW? Toci


I have some 6 years old sencha sitting around in a tupperware...
I should probably use them up somehow


Well, 6 years is incredibly old for a green, however, I'd like to make
the general suggestion on this thread to try making iced tea out of
old leaves. *Older leaves tend to lose their more subtle and
delicate flavors, which don't come out so well in iced tea anyway.
Just a thought ...

My experience is that any black works well for iced tea, but greens
seldom do. I do keep trying, though. Toci
