Can this tea be stored in the freezer or refrigerator to add to it's shelf life, thanks.

I doubt that storage other than a cool and dark place like a pantry. One thing to take into account is that you don't want condensation or moisture when storing the leaves. A quick search brought me to this answer which seems to be the common tone from major tea distributors: "The best way to store tea is at room temperature in an airtight tea canister. Unlike coffee, you cannot wrap up tea and put it in the freezer. Tea will lose its flavor and scent quickly if stored in fancy, purely decorative tea containers or kept near a heat source, such as a stove or next to the toaster in your kitchen. - Teavana Website".

I have not tried storing it in the fridge or freezer. I use this tea a lot but the bag still lasts for months. I do not notice any decrease in quality. The bag is foil but does not reseal well. I pour some out into an airtight metal canister and then reseal the big bag with packing tape until I use what is in my small can.

Hey Patricia. There is no shelf life. I would just refrigerate after you open the container.

I don't think this needs to be refrigerated. We keep it in our cabinet and haven't noticed any deterioration of the product as a result.

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 store mine as I do good loose leaf tea, in a sealed airtight container at room temperature away from heat or direct sunlight. I hope this helps.

I have loose leaf tea from other places who recommend storing the unused portion in the freezer. I keep another portion stored in a glass jar in my pantry and refill that from the freezer stash when it runs out. I had mine for almost two years now and still tastes great!

Yes it can. We keep it in the container ( a really nice tin one) in the freezer, but you don't really need to.

You can store it in the freezer, but I don't know how long that will extend the life span. If you don't use it at least weekly, it might be better just to stick with the packets.

not sure of shelf life although you can freeze or refrigerate after opening

Like all tea and fresh ground coffee, will stay fresh for months if stored in a plastic container inside the refrigerator. Maybe a year -- have not tried storing it that long.

I have it in my cupboard. It should keep for 2+ years that way, but one can put it in the freezer too. You can store in a glass jar or leave in the resealable bag it comes in.

Oh yes, refrigerate, and though I bought it almost a year ago, it's still good, with a bit left in the container. If a smaller size were available I might have gotten that as it's just my husband and I, and the occasional party for which we use it. Makes a lovely punch, I do know that, I don't know what the official expiration date may be, but it's fun to use, and gives a different flavor to mixed drinks.

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.

Don't know the shelf life. You might want to ask the manufacturer. I kept it refrigerated after I opened it.

I store a portion of my tea in a cabinet in a metal cannister for immediate use. The bulk of the tea, I leave in the original bag, put the whole thing in an airtight container and store it in my pantry or other cool dark space. I have stored tea this way for many years and it lasts a very long time.

You can refrigerate or even freeze the portion you are not using. If you are using it daily, as with the 2X daily "tea" of cinnamon and honey, you should use it long before it goes stale. If you use it only occasionally, you might want to share.

If you buy it by the case, yes , It will keep better if you freeze it. One or two will keep several days in the fridge.
