Greens go stale faster than Oolongs which go stale faster than blacks. I'm
sure you'll get more general answers than this.

Personally, I recently drank some Ceylon tea which was being stored in an
open plastic bag in its original cardboard box. The owner said it had
been in the cabinet "at least five years." It was delicious.
