Does Tea Expire?
YES, but it depends.
The Zen’s Tea House position on tea expiration is “it depends. If the tea is stored in a cool, dry place, then it will last for at least a couple of years.” One of the reasons that Zen’s Tea House tea is recognized as having higher quality tea is that we sell our tea within a few weeks of receiving our shipments. Time is a factor. Our advice is to try to infuse your tea with newer, fresher teas. Tea blending is a great way to utilize tea that is below standard.
Have some concerns?
For thousands of years tea connoisseurs have sought to prevent their tea from going bad.

Teas like Puerh & Golden Milk have a much longer life span the traditional Green teas. Would you like more information? Watch the video below.
