I'm a tea drinker. I drink between four and eight cups of tea a day. I don't always finish a cup of tea, but if I notice a cup has gotten cold I make myself another.
This means that I have lots of varieties of tea in the house. Some of it I like, and some of it I only want every now and then. As part of the housewide purge, I've decided to rid the house of the tea I don't like. And not to buy myself any more good tea until I've finished all the tea we have. For some reason, I'm not allowed to throw it away. So I'm drinking all this tea I don't like. It's really no fun at all.
Donate the unwanted tea to a food bank or soup kitchen?

If the tea is loose (or even if its not) you might try re-blending it. Pair bitter with boring and you might get something drinkable. Or blend it with a bit of the stuff you do like. I sometimes do this with stashes of old tea that's lost its ooomphf.
Alternately, you could mail it to pjm. He's been known to drink and enjoy tea that leaves your teeth feeling almost hairy...

Ms. Feverish has a great way with words. I remember a woman telling me - when I was back in high school of all things; that's over 40 years ago! - that not brushing her teeth made her feel like she "had mittens on my teeth." I would remember "leaves your teeth feeling almost hairy..." for as long, if I had the years.

How about using the tea for other purposes? A quick surf on Google threw up suggestions such as watering your house plants with cooled tea, using it as a dye, using tea bags as a way to keep away fridge odors, or making iced tea/other tea recipes which might soften the flavour of the tea.
Good luck!

You could tea-stain your legs, then get a black pen and draw lines up your legs and pretend you are wearing tights (US: pantyhose?).
