Yes. Tea doesn’t go bad in the moldy, make you sick kind of way however, it can start to lose freshness over time. At Candid Tea, we label all of our teas with a "best by" date to ensure that you experience the most robust flavors and premium quality. We recommend keeping your tea in a cool, dry, and dark place like the pantry or kitchen cabinet. Tea should always be kept out of direct sunlight and away from air and moisture to ensure optimal freshness.
