Freshness only matters for green and Japanese kinds of tea.
My favorite teas get *better* with age up to about 30 years when they peak.
They are still good to drink for up to 50.
And there is something about buying a green cake of sheng puerh, and drinking it each year and experiencing how it changes from something like silver needle ... to something less brash but more complex.
I have three cakes I've been slowly working through for over a decade.
