Because tea is highly absorbent and easily absorbs odors, most of the flavor components of tea are formed after processing, so it is relatively unstable and easily diffuses naturally or oxidizes and deteriorates. Therefore, consumers are advised to store unsealed Use the following methods for tea:

(1) Storage in a drying box: Because the temperature of the drying box is stable and the air is also isolated, the tea leaves are stored in the drying box without being wet or oxidized.

(2) Storage in refrigerator: To maintain the freshness and fragrance of tea, it is best to store it at low temperature, especially the more delicate teas such as Longjing, Biluochun and Huangshan Maofeng should be refrigerated. It must be noted that refrigerators that store tea must be hygienic, clean, and free of odors, let alone things other than tea.
(3) Storage using a thermos bottle: Organize the thermos bottle cleanly, then pour the tea leaves to be stored in the bottle, and stopper the plug for storage.

(4) Storage in jars: First, use small jars to pack a small amount of tea leaves for easy access at any time, and store ...
... the remaining tea leaves in large jars. It is best not to use glass jars, porcelain jars, wooden boxes or medicine jars, because these appliances have the disadvantages of light transmission, non-moisture resistance, and fragility. Canned materials suitable for storage are: Tin cans or iron cans: They are opaque and are the most suitable materials. Before packaging, the cans should be covered with a layer of tissue paper or kraft paper. The cans must be kept clean, dry and free of odor. Tin cans: It is best to use double-layered lids. A layer of tissue paper or kraft paper should be placed in the cans before packaging. The gaps in the lids can be sealed with adhesive tape. Airtight cans: The airtight cans sold in the market usually transmit light. It is best to use aluminum foil bags to pack the tea before putting them in airtight cans. In addition, you can also add a desiccant to enhance the moisture-proof function.

(5) What should I do if the tea leaves are damp and soft? You can use the oven, microwave oven, or wok to remove moisture from the tea, but you must pay attention to the fact that the oven, microwave oven, and wok do not have odors and debris, and the baking time requires experience. Also, wait until the tea leaves have completely cooled and cooled before packing.

Note: Pu-erh tea storage is different from other teas. Since Pu-erh tea needs moisture in the air to help continuous fermentation, it cannot be placed in a closed container. It is best to store it in a clay pot or purple sand jar and place it indoors. Ventilation is sufficient. In addition, the pressed tea bricks or tinctures are best stored away.
