What is the shelf life of the contents of the bag when not opened, and then when opened, and how is the best way to store it in each scenario?

There is no information on the bag, or expiration date, but I would expect the shelf life of an unopened bag would be almost indefinite if kept in a cool, dry place. If you are using the tea regularly, its quality should be fine for as long as it takes you to use a bag. They are dried herbs, so again, store in a cool, dry place and it should be fine.

We keep it in the original bag out of heat and sun.Dont know shelf life because it doesn't stay unused long. Hope this helps you God Bless �

I had opened a bag of this and used a small portion. I stored the remainder in a double zip lock bag. It lasted the for the 3 weeks it sat before I finished it. As for how long over all I can not give you a definitive answer on that part of your question. Make sure to keep it dry and I would think you would be ok.

The shelf life is a long time. Depending on the brand and how it is stored it can last over a year. It should be stored in a cool dark place for the longest life.

I dont know the shelf life of an un opened bag. I go through the 4 pounds about every 4 months and even the last one opened seems fresh as the first one. I have not had a problem with spoilage. They are dry seeds, dont see any need for refrigeration.

If packed in glass jars, a year or so. I've packed mine in glass jars with an oxygen absorber. It seals itself and I've heard that by doing that, the shelf life can be about 5 years.

It will last indefinitely as long as you don't open the bag, or if you do open it, the product stays 100% dry. Moisture is the enemy. I bought mine a few months ago but will not be using it until late March.

I never noticed the "refrigerate after opening" until I read this question and I never refrigerated any of the bags I have bought and enjoyed over the last 8 months. They are so good that I don't have them open too long. Also I frequently store them in a glass jar with a lid to keep out any exploring bugs.

The shelf life is, from my understanding, forever as long as you keep the moisture out of it. It takes me about 6 mts to take it but I keep it in a dark cool dry place. I put what I use in one container and keep the rest put up until I run out of what I am using from.

Yes Definitely when not in use just put back into its original bag reseal it and it should last sometimes up to three months I've had mine I think six months and three of them are still good that have been opened and in jars with material.

It depends on how you store it, there is a expiration date on the bag. I will keep no more than 2 months longer depending on area heat-moisture etc., good product and usage depends on how much/often you use it.

That's a great question and one I could use an answer to as well. We stored in a plastic bag after we went camping and I'm afraid that's how it has stayed. Sorry I couldn't help much.

I believe the bag is air tight, but not airless. Also I've never noticed them go stale at all from being in the open air for months.

I've kept the bag on the pantry shelf and it has stored just fine for almost a year. No noticeable spoilage. But I'm no expert. (Never even considered the fridge as I keep all my dry baking goods in the pantry.)

I would place the opened bag in a sealed Ball or Kerr jar in a pantry. If you have an oxygen absorber i suppose that would be good too. Thank you.

I would just keep the bag shut as air-tight as possible, away from moisture, and basically try to have it finished within one year, or I suppose two, but it will lose a little of its freshness by then.

It has an indefinite shelf life as long as you keep moisture out and the bag sealed as tight as possible.
