What is the shelf life of herbal tea?

The shelf life of herbal tea varies depending on the type of tea and how it is stored. Here's a general guideline for popular herbal teas:

1. Dried Herbal Tea:

- Airtight Containers: 6-12 months at room temperature

- Refrigerated: Up to 2 years

2. Fresh Herbal Tea (Infusions):

- Refrigerated: 2-3 days when made with boiling water

- Iced Herbal Tea: Brew with cold water and consume on the same day

3. Herbal Tea Powders/Crystals:

- Airtight Containers: 1-2 years

- Refrigerated: Up to 3 years

Remember that these are approximate guidelines and might vary depending on environmental factors. Store your herbal teas in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. If you notice any changes in aroma, color, or taste, it's best to discard the tea for freshness and flavor.
