Are the pictures of your herbs, spices and loose leaf teas indicative of what I will receive?
While all herb, spice and loose leaf tea photos were taken of
products from our warehouse, please keep in mind that these are natural products, and colours and cuts can vary from lot to lot. We take care to update the pictures when the product appearance changes significantly.
What is the shelf life of the herbs and spices?
Herbs and spices generally don't spoil, they simply loose their potency over time. How the herbs are stored will play a role in how long they retain their potency. If stored in airtight container, such as glass jars, or our resealable bag, and kept in a cool, dark, dry place, whole herbs and spices last 3-4 years. We do provide a "best by" date on the package which is typically more than 2 years in the future.
Our resealable bags are made from a high barrier material which helps protect the contents from exposure, and preserve freshness, aroma and potency.
