However, tea retains its full flavor profile for up to one year. Tazo recommends buying your tea weekly and storing it in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Tea in an unopened bag, box or tin can stay fresh for up to one year. Carefully read the packaging of your tea to determine shelf life. What is the best brewing method?
