Properly stored, tea can retain its wonderful, fresh flavor and intense aroma for an unexpectedly long time. Therefore, it's definitely worth ensuring the best possible protection for your dried tea. We'll be happy to advise you on how to prevent your tea from losing its valuable properties and retain its flavor for longer.
Tea, like many other foods, reacts poorly to moisture. Therefore, it's crucial to store it in airtight, small containers. Another factor that negatively impacts tea leaves is light, which causes them to turn gray and lose their health benefits and flavor. Therefore, we strongly advise against storing tea in clear containers or plastic boxes. Before pouring your tea into a new container, it's essential to wash and dry it, especially if it previously held a different type of tea.
Tea leaves absorb odors intensely, so tea should be stored away from spices and other strongly scented products. This will prevent any unwanted odors from lingering in your classic Earl Grey or your favorite Rooibos. However, the shelf life of tea depends not only on the container it's stored in, but also on the room itself. It's important to ensure the location is dry, warm, and frequently aired. Tea stored in a place with 70% humidity will begin to spoil quickly.
Tins or jars made of porcelain, opaque glass, or stainless steel are ideal for storing your favorite tea varieties. Wooden boxes, whose style is reminiscent of those used in China, are also a great idea.
Properly stored, leaves not only retain their properties but, like wine, gain strength and intensity over time. We offer a variety of containers that will allow you to fully enjoy the flavor of your favorite tea for a long time. LINK
