If it is only very lightly expired, it can always be used for making tea, only not so good as before. It is also great opportunity to experiment new ideas of using Longjing, such as cooking with it. Stir fried shrimp with Longjing is traditional dish.
There are many ways you can use an expired good tea:
Make a strong tea for flavouring with milk and sugar, or any other flavouring ideas.
Odour absorber in the shoe cabinet, the cupboard or the fridge (it can be dried under low heat in the oven and reused a couple of times)
Fertlizer: sprinkle a few evenly on the soil, or infuse it quite lightly for watering the plants
Catnips: However, some cats like it, some don’t
Hope one or two ideas here help.
