As we mentioned earlier, many tea bag manufacturers use nylon or polyethylene terephthalate (PET) in their tea bags, which are not biodegradable and can release harmful microplastics when exposed to heat. These microplastics can end up in your drink, and studies have shown that they may pose a risk to human health.

The answer is yes, tea can expire. Most tea bags come with an expiration date, which is usually two years from the production date. However, this doesn't mean that the tea will become unsafe to consume after this date. The expiration date mainly indicates the time until which the tea will retain its flavor and aroma.
