What is the shelf life of this tea? How long can it keep sealed without going stale?

I have had this tea for over two months now. I keep it in the pouch it came in tucked back on my kitchen counter. It comes in a resealable lined pouch and that works on keeping it fresh. Its a very well flavored tea. I puchased it because of the benefits of the red tea, I enjoy a nice large cup every night while I relax before bed.

I've stored dry rooibos in double-wrapped paper bags for years without any change in flavor/quality. The best ways are cool, dark, and dry. I would not recommend storage in plastic bags, or the refrigerator. A jar would be OK if it was in a dark, cool place. It helps to remember that rooibus is a type of dry, shredded bark.

I don't know. I am keeping some in a clasp/seal jar and some in the original bag over the vented stove. I don't think the tea's going to go stale as I will drink in within a year or two. Because tea is already dried, I really don't see it as going stale if kept cool and dry. Check expert web sites.

Seems like everyone else answered the steeping question. As for storage, I keep mine sealed in the bag and it stays fresh.

I am not an expert, but everything I have read said that the shelf life if stored properly is between 3 to 5 years.

No. It will be fine up to a year IF properly sealed. I would not put in in the fridge due to the potential for off odors and flavors to creep in if the bag seal is compromised. Mine is stored in tins and double zip lock pouches. This stuff is so good that it never lasts long enough to tell actual shelf life.

Over a year on the use by date on the bottle, I refrigerate it after opening it and generally use it within 6 to 8 months. Always stays fresh and the taste is always the same.

I don't think vanilla has a shelf life!! If you keep it tightly closed and out of sunlight. It really doesn't even need to be refrigerated.... though I do store my Danncy on the fridge door.My first (little) bottle lasted two+ years without any lessening of flavor. It really is the VERY BEST flavored vanilla I have ever used.

if kept refrigerated it's good for about 6 months? but up to/over a year in the freezer is my experience. flavor stays fresh- no texture problems either.

I keep it in the refrigerator to extend its freshness. Not sure of the expiration date, but it will get old much faster if it is at room temperature.

Hi there, it is a fermented product and can be stored in a cool place like your pantry. It's shelf life will last for years, however, after 2 years I would dispose of . You can freeze it without impact to flavor or texture. Hope this helps, let me know.

I have had mine for a month and half now. Tastes the same as the day I opened it. So I would assume that as long as you have a good refridgeration system it will last for at least 2 months or so.

I believe it will be fine for a long time, as it is sealed in a way that does not allow any air to enter, which would be the cause of spoilage. If you use it every day, it should last 8 weeks.

Specifically in the Drogheria & Alimentari, it is a date before which the flavor would be guaranteed at its peak. I have however actually used a few jars of this that were "lost" and were 6 years after their data - and their quality was not really affected. Of course, you should be careful to consider that it was at least stored in a dry environment as moisture could cause spoilage - but it would be noticeable. If it's within a couple years and shelf stored it should be ok IMHO.

I believe 10yrs is shelf life. People want to store in case of emergency. But I have purchased twice before and each time kept using and enjoying for more than 6 months. It still taste good.

There is no expiration date printed on the package. However, if you store it in a cool, dry, dark area, it will stay fresher longer. Your best bet is to seal it in an airtight container. Moisture will cause it to warp. I have had my package for a couple months now (I store it sealed in a large ziplock bag), and haven't noticed a change in flavor, although it seems the more handling I do, the more likely the edges are to crumble.

I don't have a box of it here, so, I don't know if it has a date, but since this product is made of things like Tea Tree Oil, I don't know that it would spoil very readily. I would check the manufacturer website and maybe call them to confirm.

It stays fresh for a good while. While Earl Grey tea is obviously more flavorful when it's first opened, you'll still enjoy it several months later. The bag seals quite well.

It has a long shelf life if unopened. After opening it's recommended to refrigerate and use in three days. My experience when ordering from Amazon is expiration dates almost a year out.
