While our teas have extensive shelf lives, proper tea storage can make all the difference, preserving the delicate aromas and tastes that make every cup special. Follow these simple tips to ensure your favorite blends stay fresh and flavorful.
1. Keep It Cool and Dry
Tea leaves are sensitive to heat and humidity, which can cause them to lose their flavor over time. Store your teas in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and steam (so avoid keeping them near the stove!).
2. Use Airtight Containers
Exposure to air can quickly degrade the quality of tea. Opt for airtight containers, like tins or jars with secure lids, to lock in the freshness. Bonus points for opaque containers, which also protect the tea from light.
3. Avoid Strong Odors
Tea leaves easily absorb surrounding smells, which can interfere with their natural flavors. Keep your teas away from spices, coffee, or other pungent items.
With these simple tips, you can keep your teas tasting as fresh as the day you bought them. We have a plethora of tea canisters available in stores and online which are perfect for keeping your tea flavorful!
