Best before date on tea?!


Question: Best before date on tea!?
I found some loose earl grey tea from France in my cabinet!. There was no seal over the top and it said best before 2003 on it, but it smelled ok and I really want to have some!. Is it safe to drink tea past the best before date!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
it could have a mold or fungal infection growing on it that is bad!.
or bacteria

why bother!?

just buy some new tea, and if you ant find this brand, it isn't that much of a lossWww@FoodAQ@Com

Tea leaves are dried, I would say it is ok to drink!. The most you might get is a run to the loo!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
