How to properly store tea
In order for tea raw materials to retain their taste and aroma for a long time, and for you to be able to enjoy a healthy drink, first understand how to properly store tea at home. There are many questions about this. How to store tea bags or herbal tea? How to choose the right dishes for this? Can tea be stored in the refrigerator? What to do if the tea leaves have spoiled? Can tea be stored in a plastic, glass or tin jar?
“Herbal tea” – this is the name given to a drink made from flowers and herbs. Sometimes it can be based on green or black tea leaves. This species includes Curtis Alpine meadow, Richard Royal Alpine Herbs, and others. The product is already supplied in a dried form, so it can be stored as long as needed. Therefore, the question is not “how much?”, but how to store dry herbs for tea? It depends on the storage conditions whether the collection will lose its useful properties, smell and taste. Dry grass has the ability to absorb moisture, which in turn causes the appearance of mold and rot. Therefore, it is important to ensure such conditions under which the tea does not come into contact with it. It is also necessary to ensure the tightness of the box to exclude the absorption of extraneous odors. Even if it is planned to store tea bags, it is better to transfer them from a cardboard package, for example, in a glass container. Good ventilation should also be provided in the room where the product will be placed.
If all conditions for storing tea in bags or loose tea are observed, the terms can reach several years. At the same time, the beneficial properties of the herbal collection will not be lost, its unique aroma and rich taste will not disappear.
Red tea and pu-erh (such as Royal Shu Pu-er Resin) are undemanding resistant varieties. Room temperature and humidity within normal limits are enough for them. You can even do without hermetically sealed packaging, the main thing is that there are no strong odors and no risk of absorbing moisture. And if you notice that the humidity level in the room becomes less than 20-30%, then use humidifiers. South Fujian and Taiwanese oolongs with weak fermentation, in particular Richard Royal Oolong Tie Guan Yin premium and others, are better to put in vacuum bags and store in the refrigerator. The dark Fenghuangshan and North Fujian varieties are also sensitive to exposure to air, so they need a tight hermetic container, but they can be left at room temperature.
Yellow, green and white teas (for example, Curtis White Bountea, Richard Royal Flower Lichee) are suitable for standard indoor temperature conditions, they can not be placed in a refrigerator or freezer. It is better to drink such drinks fresh, so there is no point in storing tea leaves for a long time. Instead, white varieties in China, like puerhs, are sometimes given the opportunity to ripen.
How and how much to store tea in the kitchen
The basic rules of tea storage should be observed (hermeticity, absence of extraneous odors and temperature changes, dryness and darkness). For such a product, it is advisable to allocate a separate shelf or cabinet with an opaque door in the kitchen, away from the stove and sink. When buying loose-leaf tea, you should pay attention not to the packaging date, but to the collection date. The branded packaged product should be stored in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. After pouring it into a storage container, do not forget to put a note with the expiration date there.
• Herbal tea — up to 1.5 years.
• Pu-erh – up to 5-10 years. • Light teas (green, oolong, white) – from 6 months to 1 year. • Dark varieties (black, red) – 1-2 years. • Yellow tea – 3-5 years. Another important recommendation is to protect the integrity of the leaves. A whole tea leaf is less prone to oxidation and better protected from moisture absorption.
After the stated expiration date or the tea has lost its aroma and taste for some reason, you should not rush to throw it away. The ability of tea leaves to absorb odors will be needed at home. The product can act as a natural deodorant for kitchen cabinets, refrigerator and even shoes. It is enough to put it in fabric bags that allow air to pass through well, and spread it in those places where unpleasant odors need to be eliminated. Even after the product has spoiled, it continues to bring some benefit. However, we hope that the recommendations for proper storage of tea were useful and will help to prolong its quality, aroma and taste for a long time.
