Given that 16 ounces is quite a lot of tea, how long does it take for this tea to go stale, given good, dry storage conditions?

I purchased six metal canisters with seals and I just open the pound and fill these canisters with it so that I'm only opening and closing a small part of the pound. I drink it faster than it can go stale so far. Hope this helps.

put mine in an air tight container as soon as I receive it, and with my whole family hot tea drinkers it don't last long enough to ever get stale.its soooo good.

I bought a bag of tea from Davidson's 1-2 years ago, still in the original bag and from time to time I brew some more (I didn't like the flavor much, I got hooked on Pu-Erh teas) it still tastes fresh, and good to me after at least a year.

I use it for iced tea as well as hot - it takes me about 8 weeks to go through a bag and it stays fresh, however I but it in a separate glass airtight container immediately upon opening

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.

Given that you use a couple tablespoons per brewed cup, it's hard to say how long you will keep this. I'd say keep it well sealed, press the extra air from the package, and it may last quite a while. It's damned fine tea.

When I received the tea I put it in a canister with a good seal on it and I have not had a problem with the tea going stale, and I'm about 3/4 of the way through the original amount.

Im not sure. We have 5 people drinking the tea so we probably go through it a little faster than others (It has been about 2 months). Also, tt takes fine, but it does taste a little different than the normal Earl Grey tea.

I bought several jars for a tea. Did not need more than a jar so had 2 left.We used one close to expiration date and the other a month later.All were delicious.We did have the 3rd jar go bad after refrigerating it over a week but that is to be expected.

I do not know about the shelf life but I did not note that there was an expiry date on the box. I would think that it would have a long shelf life because it is natural and the leaves in the tea bags are dried.

We bought ours (16 oz.) in Sept of 2013, and store in an airtight container. We have used it every month since then, and just used some last week. We don't have much left, but what we do have is fine and will use the rest.

It seems to be long. I have been using it for more than six months without putting it in the fridge. Still tastes fresh. For additional safety you put in the fridge.

It is never dry. The pot boils the water and holds it at your choice of 298, 194, 140 degrees. It also has a choice of reboiling after 6 hours (i.e. to save energy while you sleep). There's 2 of us tea-drinkers in the household; the 2.2 liter turns out to be a bit small for me, but, the advantage of that is I had to refill fresh water in at least once a day. No stale water.

Net weight was 16 oz BUT that can change due to moisture content of the tea.

The mix was dry. I'd say it was not fresh because in a video in youtube when they brew the tea with the air pumps make bubbles, and when I made the tea I didn't see any bubbles using 2 air pumps.

I would be very careful of storing tea in the fridge or freezer- tea absorbs the odors of the items surrounding it, which can be extremely unpleasant depending on what you had it sitting next to. Also, if it absorbs any moisture, it may rot. The best way to store tea is in an airtight container in a dark, dry corner/nook/spot in your pantry or cupboard.

There is no information on the bag, or expiration date, but I would expect the shelf life of an unopened bag would be almost indefinite if kept in a cool, dry place. If you are using the tea regularly, its quality should be fine for as long as it takes you to use a bag. They are dried herbs, so again, store in a cool, dry place and it should be fine.

I never refrigerate my herbs. Keep them in an air tight dark container in dry environment away from direct light (for example, a cupboard) and your herbs will last at least a year. Enjoy your tea :-)

I usually go through a jar in about a month and a half. It's been good that long. Previously I got a big gallon bucket of the same thing. And as long as it was refrigerated in an air tight bag it lasted over 8 months.

I have no clue! I never look for expiration dates, much less on tea bags.....

Honestly, I didn't even check. Ours was finished off in a couple of months so well with the expiration period. Also remember that dry goods like tea leaves last quite a long time and even longer if kept in an air tight, sealed container. If you only open one sleeve of the tea bags at a time, you'll have less to worry about.

I haven't owned it that long, about 6 months. But before purchasing, I researched it and most say it has a shelf life of about 10 years if stored properly. Don't break the seal and keep in a dark place, fairly cool and a pretty steady temperature. I repackaged mine in mylar bags with oxygen absorbers which greatly increases shelf life for most dried products. Hope this helps.

I don't have the box any more, so I don't know how many ounces it was, but it is stored in a 5 x 5 Rubbermaid container. It's a pretty good amount of tea.

It's supposed to last 6 mos in a cool dry pantry or up to a year in the freezer. I haven't been using it long enough to know if this is true.
