Best Tea For Sore Throat (Many Different Flavor Options)

Can You Add Milk To Green Tea? (Why You Shouldn’t)

Best Instant Tea (Various Types For Every Taste)

Does Tea Have To Be Refrigerated? (And How It Affects Flavor)
Tea goes bad, just like everything else. But not right away, of course. Personally, I always drink my tea right after I brew it, because I enjoy it hot. So this is never an issue for me. But perhaps you like to brew a large amount at once and drink it over time. Or you’re […]
Can You Microwave Water For Tea? (Don’t Do It)

When you want to store something a long time, you freeze it. Why should tea be any different? It certainly makes sense to ask if you can freeze tea bags. But there are also some things that don’t really need to be frozen, because they last quite a long time at room temperature. Tea is […]
