    Does Tea Expire?

    Tea does not expire in the same way as some other foods, but it can become stale or lose its flavor over time.

    Tea is made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. The tea leaves are dried and packaged for storage and sale. Each type of tea, such as black, oolong, green, or white come from the same plant, but are made using different processing techniques.

    The shelf life of tea can be affected by several factors, including the type of tea, how it is stored, as well as the packaging.

    Black tea tends to have a longer shelf life than green tea or white tea, and could potentially last for several years after harvest. Green tea, on the other hand, is processed differently than black tea, and may begin to lose potency after just 6 to 9 months.

    To maximize the shelf life of tea, it is important to store it properly. Tea should be kept in a cool, dry, and dark place, away from heat and light. The tea should also be stored in an airtight container to prevent moisture and air from getting in. This will help to keep the tea fresh.

    It is also important to note that tea can absorb odors from other foods, spices, and other strong-smelling items, so it’s important to store your tea in a separate location.
