Can I drink tea past the best before date?

With proper storage and handling, from first cup to last cup we know the quality of the tea will have the same wonderful taste you have come to enjoy until the Best Before date. But even with proper storage and handling we cannot guarantee the quality of the tea if it has made it beyond this date. It still may be as fresh as the day you bought it, or it could have gone stale, it is hard to judge as tea's have their own characters and the environments where they live can differ. If your tea is beyond its best before date our best recommendation is to purchase a new batch of tea to ensure the best cup. But we leave it to your best judgement to steep a cup and see how it is. Otherwise it makes for great compost!
