Intriguing proposition. Though a big fan of Stilton, durian and pickled
herring, I recognize these as acquired tastes. (Still trying to find an
importer for surstromming.) My impression is that nearly everyone is born
with a predisposition against stale/decayed odors. So while there is a huge
range of tea styles, to me stale tea will taste mediocre (at best) to anyone
who's had the fresh stuff.

On the other hand, I live in a country where some people prefer Tang to
fresh-squeezed orange juice, sow ho knows.
