As far as tea shelf life, storage method is key. Light, heat, moisture and air all break down the leaves and aromatics quickly, so storing your tea long-term in an airtight container, in a dark cool place can keep your flavors and aromas fresh and potent. Herb teas with flowers and lighter leaves (like chamomile or mint) tend to lose flavor and potency faster as well. Stored correctly black tea can have a shelf life of up to 2 years, green tea about 6 months, and herbal tea up to a year. These are general recommendations. You can always taste it and see if you still like it.

Packing peanuts are made out of cornstarch and fully biodegradable (if they hold them under water they will disintegrate). They can be composted if they are dry (they will rot if they are wet). If they are thrown away they will disintegrate in the landfill.  

Cardboard boxes and tape can be recycled together. 

1 lb. and 2.8 ox tea storage bags are certified biodegradable. You can't recycle them but they will break down quickly and can even be composted.
