Tea bags can go stale even in a container. They can even go stale on the store shelf like mine did. Look for expiry dates (the Tetley box I bought didn't have one) and get the freshest you can. Stale tea will brew a proper looking tea but it will taste like, well, sort of dusty and not at all like tea.

∙ 10y agoIt depends on the tea. Most teas will go stale within a year or two, although you can retain freshness by avoiding heat, light, moisture, and air (some tea fanatics even nitrogen-flush and then vacuum seal their tea in small packages). Some kinds of roasted oolongs can be re-roasted yearly to retain freshness.

Does green tea brewed in the sun with splenda go bad?
I brewed a gallon of water with 8 green tea bags in the sun for about 6 hrs. when I brought it in the house I put 1/2 cup splenda in it I had a glass a little while later and it looked funny and tasted different than before, I have always brewed it in the house. The nexted day it smelled really bad so I dumped it down the sink and when I did it was slimmy and very thick. That night I didn't sleep well and had night sweats, I never have night sweats, so my question is can green tea brewed in the sun with splenda in it go bad.

The tea is usually better quality, as what is inside a tea bag cannot be seen. So if you want maybe better taste and quality go for loose leaf rather than bags.
