I got both of these teas in Finland. No idea exactly how they were stored but there is nothing funky with them so I presume it was ok.
The seller just said that the teas are "before the internet" :)

1. Georgian black tea 200g. Price 50€
This was wrapped in cellophane and it was fully intact when I got it. The package has two 100g bags which were also sealed quite well. I opened one of them and took around 3g from it. The other pack is unopened. From tasting I can say packaging and storage was very good.

From my research the CCCP standard "гост 1938-73" started in 1973 and ended 1992 when the next standard was implemented. So the tea should be from between 1973-1992.




2. "Fukien tee" teabags 25x2g=50g. Price 35€
This was also wrapped in cellophane but it was slightly open. So the package was not 100% sealed. There is no strange smells or anything alarming.
This is probably from Fujien since it's a Chinese black tea.
No idea on the exact age. Probably similar age than the Georgian tea.



Shipping fees from Finland to EU are 15-22€ and outside EU 45€
