To maintain the freshness and quality of your tea, it is important to store it properly. We recommend the following guidelines:
1. Store the tea in a cool, dry place: It is best to keep your tea away from moisture, heat and strong odours. Find a spot in your kitchen or pantry away from direct sunlight and other sources of heat.
2. Keep it protected from light: Exposure to light can degrade the quality of tea over time. Store your tea in opaque containers or in a dark cupboard to minimize light exposure.
3. Consume before the expiry date: Tea is best enjoyed within a certain timeframe, indicated on the package. Be sure to check the expiry date and aim to consume the tea before that date for optimal flavour.
4. Preserve freshness with the original packaging: Before preparing a new tea for the first time, we recommend keeping it sealed in its original packaging. This helps to extend its shelf life and maintain freshness.
5. Consider high-quality tea tins: After opening the tea for the first time, storing it in a high-quality tea tin can help preserve its flavour and aroma. We offer a selection of tea tins which are designed to provide an optimal storage environment for your tea.
6. Properly seal the bag if using original packaging: If you prefer to store the tea in its original packaging after opening, be sure to release the excess air after each use and seal it tightly. This helps to minimize air exposure and maintain the tea's freshness for a reasonable period of time.
For the longest possible freshness of your opened tea, we recommend considering our tea caddies. These specially designed containers provide an ideal storage solution, ensuring your tea remains fresh and flavourful for an extended period.
