Ready-to-Drink Bottled Essiac Tea
NutriNoche's ready-to-drink Essiac tea is a commercially bottled liquid. Unopened, it lasts until the printed expiration date on the bottle when stored in a cool, dry place. After opening, it should be refrigerated and used according to the label directions.
Homemade Brewed Essiac Tea
Homemade Essiac tea, brewed from loose herbs, is not commercially sealed or pasteurized. As a result, it has a shorter shelf life. It should be refrigerated promptly after brewing and straining, and consumed within a relatively short period. The exact duration can vary based on preparation and storage conditions.
Dried Herbs and Other Formats
Dried herbs, tea bags, powder, and capsules generally have a longer shelf life than brewed liquid. They should be stored in a cool, dry place in sealed containers. Once brewed into liquid, the tea's shelf life becomes much shorter and refrigeration is required.
For the most accurate shelf-life and storage information, always refer to the physical product label.
