How do you know when tea is too old. Some say up to a year storage for black tea. Others only a couple of months. I suspect I have gotten some stale tea from a vendor and would like to confirm it's old. I have read lack of smell as a sign of age. But what does that mean to someone who does not know how it is supposed to smell? Another source said old tea would crush to dust when pinched.
