Can Tea Expire? | Tea with Olivia

A very common question I get is, is this tea still good? can it expire?
Often times we will have tea sitting in our cupboard and if it isn't stored properly, the premium tea will lose a lot of its aroma and flavor. This video will also help you identify if the tea you are buying is fresh to begin with!

    Mold will still grow in a vacuum like in a vacuum sealed mason jar or vacuum sealed bag..One thing to bring up in this video might also be : if you are getting a tea that is off your shelf from a long time to look and smell for mold. Thanks for your awesome videos!!

    Not very likely and you can take steps to minimize chances bringing them close to zero. For example, make sure to squeeze as much air as possible from a bag before sealing. Mold still needs oxygen to grow.

    What amount of tea is a good sample size to try new teas without wasting much? I’m looking to try new teas without wasting so much due to expiration. I drink about 1 cup of tea per day and looking to drink more

    The sample sizes that we offer at Treasure Green Tea Company are about 20g of tea. Using about 5g of tea per serving, it's a great way to try it 4-5 times.

    Hi Delicia! If your tea has been stored in an air-tight package in a cool, dry place then your tea should be fine to consume. It may, however, have lost some of its aroma or flavour from the time.

    Hi Alex, great question! It will come down to aroma and flavour. If it is still fresh, the dry tea leaves will carry a strong aroma and when steeped, it’s flavour will be strong and persistent. If either the scent or flavour is dull or stale, it is likely time to go!

    We don't carry either of those teas but as long as the herbal teas are stored in a cool, dry, and ideally air-tight bag or container, they should stay fresh for about a year.

    Hi Pawarisa, 4-5 years is on the longer end. However, if you've kept it in a dry, cool place, they may be ok. Take a look and smell of the leaves. You'll want to make sure it smells fragrant and is vibrant in colour.

    I had my chamomile tea bad sealed one for around 3 years in my cupboard. I bought it in may 2020 and it has expiry date of 18 months. So its 2023 june, can I have it this time?

    Depending on which store the tea is from, the expiry date can vary. If it says June 2023 on your package, you can still enjoy it! We usually recommend storing flower tea in the fridge to prolong its freshness, especially if pesticides aren't used. Give it a try, and if it tastes off, maybe it's time to get a new batch! Happy drinking!

    Hi Prateeksha! Most green teas keep well for a few years if stored in a cool and dry place. If you find the leaves are dull and discoloured, then it likely has lost its aroma and benefits.
