Honeybush tea should be stored in an airtight container away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. A cool, dark pantry or cupboard is ideal. Properly stored, honeybush tea can maintain its flavor and aroma for up to 18 months. Avoid storing it near strong-smelling foods to prevent the tea from absorbing those odors.
