❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How should I store Tarragon?

Store in a cool, dark place in an airtight container, away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight. This preserves freshness, flavour, and potency for longer.

How long does Tarragon last?

When stored correctly in an airtight container, it maintains full potency for 12–18 months. Ground spices fade faster than whole — if the aroma weakens, it’s time to replace.
