Does Essiac Tea Go Bad?

Brewed Essiac Tea and the Essiac Herbs Have Different Lengths of Time Before Going Bad

You may be wondering if Essiac Tea goes bad, whether you're thinking about the herbs themselves or the liquid tea. Since Genuine Essiac™ doesn't contain potentially harmful additives or preservatives, this is important information to consider, especially if you are planning on stocking up with a large order.

Let's start with the Herbs - Do Essiac Herbs Go Bad?

Essiac powdered herbs, which the very same kind Rene Caisse used, stay fresh for 2 years when stored in a relatively cool, dark place. Any place that's appropriate for a person to live is OK for the herbs to live, too! For example, if you are living in a 90 degree room all summer but you are able to cope with that temperature, that is OK for the herbs as well.

You just want to be sure to keep them out of direct sunlight, out of locked cars in the summer sun and away from blowing heaters. A kitchen cabinet works well for most people. The basement is also a good place to store them. A bathroom cabinet wouldn't a good place since the shower will heat up the room from time to time. And leaving them in a hot car for a long time is a bad idea.

We suggest that you store the herbs in the same food-safe packaging that they arrived in. If you don't use all of the bag at once, you can tie it shut with a twist-tie such as what you receive when you buy a loaf of bread. You could store the bag in a tupperware type container if you like. Keeping the bag airtight is the name of the game.

There is no benefit to buying a small supply of herbs frequently so that they "stay fresh" - buying a 1-year or even a 2-year supply is perfectly fine and will save you a lot of money due to the volume discounts offered. The 6 lb. 8 oz. order will last one adult 1 year at the improvement of health serving size to give you an idea. If you go into the average health food store, you may see a 2-4 oz. package of Essiac tea, which will only last a couple of weeks. That's why it's important to compare how much product you're getting when you price shop. The other good thing about stocking up is that you won't have to worry about missing time on your regimen due to running out - which is the absolute worst thing you can do when you're using Essiac to improve health.

What About the Brewed Essiac Tea - How Long Does That Stay Fresh?

Brewed Essiac Tea stays fresh when stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks. You can store it in the type of pitcher you'd use for iced tea - it doesn't have to be anything fancy. The tea would have cooled by the time you store it in the fridge making it as easy to store as lemonade.

We recommend using an open top pitcher so that you can easily stir the tea before pouring each serving. By stirring the tea right before pouring, you will more evenly disperse the herbs so that you get some into each and every serving. By including the powder in the tea. You don't need to cover the tea with a lid while it's in the refrigerator, since nothing is going to get in there in that safe environment. I love my Loch Ness monster ladle which I leave in the tea 🤣

Once again, there is no benefit to preparing a smaller amount of Essiac more often so that it's "the freshest possible." It works the same as long as you use it up by the 2-3 week mark. At the most common usage level for one adult, this means you'll go through a gallon of Essiac once every two weeks. You can learn how to brew Essiac tea here.
