Proper Storage of Tea

Choose the right container
Tea is incredibly absorbent and hygroscopic, so it is important to store it properly to prevent oxidation and maintain its flavor. The best materials for tea storage are glass, porcelain, or ceramic containers without seasoning. These containers should have a tight lid to minimize air exposure. It is recommended to use containers with a rubber seal to ensure airtightness and preserve the tea’s freshness. Avoid storing tea in plastic containers as it can absorb the plastic odor and affect its taste.
Store in a cool and dark place
Light and humidity are tea’s biggest enemies. It is best to store tea in a cupboard where there is less light and temperature remains stable. Avoid placing tea near stoves or any sources of heat and moisture. Additionally, avoid storing dry and moist tea together to prevent them from absorbing each other’s aromas.
