The yellow mold on old tea bags is typically a type of fungus, often Penicillium or Aspergillus species, which thrives in moist environments. When tea bags are stored for long periods, especially in humid conditions, mold can develop as the organic materials break down. While some molds are harmless, others can produce mycotoxins that may be harmful if ingested. It's best to discard any tea bags that show signs of mold growth.
