Protecting the Quality of Your Tea
A great tea starts with quality leaves, but proper storage helps preserve the flavors and aromas you love.
Tea is sensitive to several things that can affect freshness, including light, air, moisture, and strong odors.
Keep Tea Away From Light
Direct sunlight can slowly reduce the quality of tea. Store your tea in a dark cabinet or an opaque container to help protect its flavor.
Store Tea in an Airtight Container
Exposure to air can cause tea to lose some of its natural aroma over time. Keeping tea sealed in an airtight container helps maintain freshness.
Avoid Moisture and Strong Smells
Tea leaves can absorb surrounding odors. Keep tea away from spices, coffee, and other strongly scented foods.
Buy What You Will Enjoy
Tea is best enjoyed when it is fresh. Instead of storing large amounts for long periods, consider purchasing quantities you will use regularly.
With proper storage, every cup can deliver the flavor and experience intended by the tea makers.
