How Long Will My Tea Last?
Tea has a shelf life that varies with storage conditions and type of tea. Black tea has a longer shelf life than green tea. An exception, Pu-erh tea improves with age. Tea stays freshest when stored in a dry, cool, dark place in an air-tight container. Black tea stored in a bag inside a sealed opaque canister may keep for two years. Green tea loses its freshness more quickly, usually in less than a year.
One important fact to abide by when choosing a different container to store your tea in, instead of the zippered stand up pouch, is to make sure the container can keep all light and moisture away from your tea. Those are the two most damaging factors for tea.
Never store tea in the refrigerator or freezer.
Improperly stored tea may lose flavor, acquire disagreeable flavors or odors from other foods, or become moldy. But technically does not “spoil.”
