Is it safe to drink expired tea?

Generally, it is considered safe to drink expired black tea, but the flavor and aroma may not be as good as when consumed within the recommended shelf life.

For herbal teas, it is important to check the specific product's expiration date and follow the manufacturer's recommendations. Some herbal teas may contain herbs or ingredients that may lose their potency over time or may even become harmful if consumed past their expiration date.

When in doubt, it's best to avoid consuming expired teas and discard them safely.
