Today i am shifting my household items from my working place to my native place. When checking things , I came across a full packet of green Tea leaf's. unfortunately it was purchased 18 months back and expired date shows over. still i used it to make a cup of green tea . No taste difference and all
But still i am afraid that is it ok to drink it.

It sounds fine to me. Tea is one of those things that doesn't really spoil very often if it's stored properly. Usually it just ends up tasting a bit stale after a while, or the flavor might be weaker than it would be if the leaves were fresh.

@sunilparthan Yep, as long as it tastes fine you're good to drink it.

I believe that it is not safe to drink expired food and drinks because they already carefully studied that and people must atleast follow that for safety

They need to put the expiry date because of the law but there are some products which can be used even after the due date for example Rice and all

@sunilparthan Yes at least they are required to mention the same on the medicines and food items.

I am not sure of it but some things can last long after the expiry date.
