You are right. Darjeeling goes stale pretty quickly. I think it has to do with its being quite green actually. Some people say it’s like oolong. I really cannot agree with that, coz as far as my own tea experience goes, the kind of taste in oolongs are very different. I have not stored oolong long enough yet, but I do have a few packs marked 2011 and still tasting like when I first opened them. I do still have a tin of Assam TGFOP from Fortnum that I bought maybe 3 years ago. It’s not as good as before but still smell okay. I think I am going to finish it by making some lemon tea for everyone.
