How long does tea stay good for?

December 15, 2009

There have been bags of lipton regular tea in my cupboard for years. The plastic seal covering the box was broken, so the only type of cover they have had are the individual paper bags they come in, and a box where they were being held. The original box didn’t have an expiration date.
Na, it was stored in a dry place i believe, but I will check for mold. And we did have mice for awhile, but I don’t think they ever got in the cupboards. THanks a lot guys, i’ll give some a try later.

It is a dried up herb basically. It may become stale..but you wont taste the difference if you make it stronger then normal.

I do this all the time lol

What is the difference between iced tea tea bags and hot tea tea bags?

November 18, 2009

I want to buy tazo tea from Starbucks online, but they have different types for iced tea and hot tea. Its the same flavor, but one is for hot tea and the other one is for hot tea. What is the difference between the two tea bags?

I don’t think that the bag material is different. Tazo is a brand of tea sold elsewhere as well as at Starbucks. If you really have to know, you could contact the company. But there is no need to have a different kind of bag. Many who brew tea for iced tea do so with hot water anyway. We saw a tea maker at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf the other day and it was designed to be used without a bag and with hot water.
Tea bag tea is generally of lower quality in comparison to whole leaf teas. Should you find yourself enjoying tea more, consider venturing into whole leaf teas. Some are really amazing.

What brand of green tea to purchase for all the positive effects?

November 09, 2009

I drink green tea regulary but is there a particular brand which contains more of the goodness of green tea or is it all similar?

I live in the UK so I am limited to what they sell in regular stores like tescos.

I know green tea is good for you but would for example Tetleys green tea bags have all these good properties aswell?

Im pretty sure most of the green tea is similar, and yes – I would believe that the Tetleys tea has the same goodness as the other ones.

Also, if your looking at tea to boost your metabolism – Oolong tea can increase the metabolism by nearly double of what green tea can.

How long will green tea last in a water bottle?

November 04, 2009

I want to make some green tea, put it in a water bottle so I can keep it in the bathroom and apply it as a toner at night with a cotton ball. Will it start getting moldy? (Water doesn’t get moldy). It would be easy enough to replace it every week.
I read that people use the teabag directly on their face but I think it would be easier to just keep a bottle of green tea in the bathroom. Thoughts?

Bacteria will grow in the water.
