How to store tea? How to preserve tea?

Hello, tea should be placed in a ventilated, dry and cool place, but after all, tea is susceptible to moisture, especially the more expensive the tea is the more demanding the storage conditions. The best thing is to use an anchor sealed box to store it well, and the confidentiality effect is very good, so that it can be completely moisture-proof and insect-proof, I hope it can help you.

Keep in a cool, dry place and tightly sealed.

Put it in a clay pot and it can be stored for a long time without peculiar smell.

What is the best way to preserve tea?

The factors affecting tea storage are: oxygen, temperature, humidity, and sunlight can be judged from this: the storage of Pu'er tea is normal, ventilated, and there is no peculiar smell!

If it is in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, it is recommended to use purple sand jars for loose tea) green tea, oolong tea is recommended to be stored in the freezer, and glass bottles and the like are only used for display, not for storing tea!

Hello, you see what kind of tea you are, generally green tea, Tieguanyin, Longjing, Maojian, and other green tea series need to be frozen and preserved, and black tea series need to be stored in a closed manner.

Tea leaves can be stored in ceramic jars.

Choose a dry and odorless, airtight ceramic altar, wrap the tea leaves with kraft paper, place them around the altar, embed a lime bag in the middle, put the tea bag on it, fill the altar with cotton wrapping. Lime is replaced every 1-2 months. This method uses the hygroscopic performance of quicklime to make the tea not damp, the effect is better, and the quality of tea can be maintained for a long time, especially some precious teas such as Longjing and Dahongpao, which are particularly suitable for use.

Tea should be classified before storage, high mountain tea, oolong tea, Baochong tea, Longjing tea, Biluochun, etc.

The shelf life of the tea leaves

The shelf life of different teas is also different. Like Pu'er tea and black tea, the aging is better, and the shelf life can reach 10-20 years; Another example is Wuyi rock tea, the next year old tea has a rich aroma and mellow taste; Another example is the black tea in Hunan, the Fu brick tea in Hubei, the Liubao tea in Guangxi, etc., as long as they are stored properly, not only will not deteriorate, but can improve the quality of tea.

Because of these characteristics, a few years ago, some people hyped old tea, and a piece of aged Pu'er tea was even fried for millions of yuan. Speculation is a merchant's game, after all, tea is for people to drink, old tea is not properly preserved, it has deteriorated, it is also inferior, and it cannot be drunk. For example, Pu'er tea generally requires a special storage room, the temperature is kept at about 25, and the humidity is controlled at about 70%.

In addition, the room should be ventilated, not placed with odorous items, and the tea leaves should be turned every 3 months. These conditions are difficult for ordinary tea lovers and collectors to achieve.

Typically, the shelf life of tea leaves in sealed packages ranges from 12 months to 24 months. The shelf life of bulk tea is shorter, because the process of placing it outside in bulk will absorb moisture and odor, which not only makes the tea lose its original tea flavor, but also makes it easier to deteriorate. For example, green tea is generally better to be fresh, and the shelf life is generally about one year at room temperature.

However, the main factors that affect the quality of tea are temperature, light, and humidity. If stored properly, these factors are reduced or eliminated, and the quality of the tea can be guaranteed for a long time.
