"Best Before" means that the company guarantees the quality of the contents up until that date!. Many products will last long long after their BB dates and still be safe to eat, but not necessarily as nice!.
"Use By" is much more important!. Things that are fresh and grow bugs have a UB date, and these are tested!. Usually you should not use things past their UB date (although this is a little bit flexible, you should consider it carefully)!.

Tea will last for ages, but if it is past its BB date, you might expect it to taste rather flat and lifeless, and perhaps a bit musty and bitter!. If it has been sealed then it might be OK, but if it has been opened then probably it will be stale!.

If it makes a good cup of tea, then good :) If it doesn't, then it won't do you any harm but there's no reason to drink a nasty tasting cuppa!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Shelf life is that length of time that food, drink, medicine and other perishable items are given before they are considered unsuitable for sale or consumption!.
Shelf life is the time that products can be stored, during which the defined quality of a specified proportion of the goods remains acceptable under expected conditions of distribution, storage and display!.

you have answered it yourself, its got a best before date this kind of product will never go off only fade in quality , the best before date implies its optimum date is that on the packeage but it is usable much after the date although you may not find it enjoyable

use by dates are usualy on perishable goods like meat etc and should never be ignoredWww@FoodAQ@Com

Until it starts to "turn", meaning the flavor begins to taste tart and you will find it unpleasant!. It's really fool proof, if it taste bad don't drink it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

If you mean, "how many days after the expiration date can you drink the tea!?"

Expiration dates just mean it will not taste as potent or rich!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

smell it!. pour a bit in a glass and taste it!. if it taste or smells bad, toss it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

As long as you like!. I don't think it will do you any harm!.!.!. it may have lost some of the strength of the flavour thoughWww@FoodAQ@Com
