At protea, we're all about keeping things high-quality and safe. You’ve probably noticed the “best before” date on your bottles, and we just want to clear up what that really means for you.
What does "Best Before" mean?
The "best before" date is all about ensuring you enjoy protea at its peak flavor. It’s not an expiration date—it’s more like a recommendation for when the taste and quality will be at their best.
Can I drink it after the "Best Before" date?
Yes, you can! Protea is still safe to drink after the “best before” date. Our ingredients are shelf-stable, and the sterilization process ensures no microbes are present. You might notice some slight changes in taste or texture, but it’s still perfectly fine to drink.
What might change?
Color: The tea might look a bit darker.
Flavor: The tea taste might not be as vibrant or fresh.
What stays the same?
Nutrition: You’ll still get 20g of protein, with zero sugar, fat, or lactose. Those benefits don’t go anywhere.
Safety: As long as the bottle is sealed, it remains safe thanks to our sterilization process.
A Few Tips for Enjoying Your Protea:
Storage: Keep it cool, dry, and out of the sun to extend its shelf life.
Once opened: Pop it in the fridge and finish it within 24 hours.
Taste test: If you’re unsure, take a small sip to check if it still tastes good to you.
We hope that clears things up!
