I was hoping to post my composite image of all(?) the varieties of Wagner teas, almost all of the photos downloaded from "World of Tea Caddy" (TeaCaddy.cz), by Mr. Petr Vnoucek in the Czech Republic -- you're welcome to it, I plan to post it on FaceBook shortly. I also got most of my tins from Hickory Farms in the shopping malls, & I still have a precious couple of Fruit & Spice tea bags. There's no reason to fear old tea, it just won't have its full flavour when it's no longer "fresh" -- if you've got some untried Wagner's, brew some up proper (full boiling water & longer than you would "fresh" tea) & enjoy it (unless you plan to sell it unopened to a collector, maybe me?).

My favorites were the Oolong and Keemun, but I tried nearly all of them multiple times (I wish now I had saved the tins!). Until then tea to me meant Tetley's.<br /><br />I had been wondering what had happened to these teas until I came across this blog and now my worst fears have been confirmed.

It's not hard to get my favorites, Lapsang and Darjeeling that way. And Russian Caravan, which is a mix of Lapsang,and a couple of others, so less smokey. But recently i've been missing Wagners Golden Blend.
