    Tea bags will be fine for at least a year, but even long after that, they're still safe to consume. They just might change colour or flavour. If your tea has an expiration date then it's just for best quality, not safety. This is told by a scientist.

    In Mumbai chor bazar, one can get expired tea bags and coffee sachets at quarter price and plenty of people purchase and use. But, it is illegal. Those who used them say they are as good as before the expiration date.
