Tea often seems to be something that stays fresh forever - but it's not like that in reality, because bad storage can kill it.
Delicious and healthy tea can only be brewed when you store your tea correctly, so you need to know a few basic storage rules.
Let's make sure that your tea stays fresh and tasty!
It's better when it's fresh
Tea tastes the best when it's fresh, so try to use it within a year or two.
Moisture kills it
Store your tea in an airtight container to keep moisture out. Moisture can make tea go bad faster.
Keep it away from light
Keep the tea container away from direct sunlight, as light can make tea lose its flavor.
Cool temperature is the best
Find a cool, dark place in your kitchen or pantry to store your tea. It shouldn't be too hot or humid.
Check it regularly
If your tea ever smells strange or doesn't taste good, it might be time to replace it, even if it hasn't been a year yet.
Conclusion
Like other dry products, tea can be stored for a really long time, but you need to make sure that you store it in perfect conditions.
Check your tea regularly and invest in nice convenient containers, so you can always enjoy your favorite drink without being worried about its condition.
