Using up old Sensha
Using up old Sensha
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

Re: Using up old Sensha / Iced Tea
I really love iced Sencha in summer! the trick is not to infuse the tee
and then let it cool of, but to infuse it with cold water (best would be
just putting teal leafs and icecubes into a pot, and pour out some tea
after enough water has melted). Alternatively you can just add cold
water and let it "steep" in the fridge for 20 minutes or so... :)

I finished the old sencha. I might try this with some other Japanese
teas I bought at the same time. Toci

Re: Using up old Sensha / Iced Tea
works of course varyingly well with varying tees, but i had quite good
results with sencha... i also would recommend serving chilled black
chocolate with it :)

Has six year old sencha also gone from a grassy taste to a flower
taste, or is even that gone? Toci

In my experience, first flush Darjeeling deteriorates relatively
quickly (even if my storage was, in fact, to blame, the other teas
weren't as affected).

Right, my lone Darjeeling sample is slated to be used up in April.
