Our recipe for Y'all Sweet Tea has been tested and stays fresh LONGER than other teas. Here is what "Uncle Si" Robertson had to say about it, "Well hey and I switched to it for 1 reason.

Like any perishable beverage, sweet tea can go bad if not stored properly. The shelf life of sweet tea depends on factors such as the ingredients used, brewing method, and storage conditions. Generally, homemade sweet tea stored in the refrigerator can last for 3 to 5 days, while pre-packaged varieties may have a longer shelf life due to preservatives and packaging techniques. However, it's essential to check for signs of spoilage, such as a sour smell or off-taste, before consuming sweet tea past its expiration date.
To prolong the shelf life of sweet tea, store it in a clean, airtight container in the refrigerator and avoid exposing it to excessive heat or sunlight. Additionally, using freshly brewed tea and filtered water can help prevent bacterial growth and maintain the freshness of sweet tea. By following these storage tips and being mindful of the expiration date, you can ensure that your sweet tea stays fresh and delicious for longer.
