It's tea that's roasted over heat for an extended period of time. This process forces water out of the cells to create drier tea (which is better for storage) or even enhances the color and flavor. One reason the tea becomes darker is via the Maillard reaction, a form of nonenzymatic browning.

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.
