How should I store tea bags?

Keep tea bags in their original container away from heat and moisture. Think kitchen cupboard, pantry, cabinet, or drawer. Once opened, transfer tea bags to an airtight bag or container to keep them fresh. To ensure you're getting the highest quality tea, use tea bags within 18 to 24 months.

What is the proper way to steep herbal tea?

When heating water for herbal tea, bring it just to boiling. Add your tea bag to your cup or mug and slowly pour the water in. Generally, herbal tea steeps for three to 10 minutes, but check the recommendations on the package for your particular type of herbal tea.

How can I repurpose used herbal tea bags?

Repurpose used herbal tea bags by putting them in your compost bin or sprinkling the soaked tea into plant or garden soil. Tea leaves boost nitrogen in soil for better plant health. To reduce refrigerator odor, place used herbal tea bags in a small bowl and set it in the back corner.
