it. Depending on how the tea is stored, you can keep it up to a month given the right conditions. Tea is

quite pricey. Storing loose tea allows you to buy tea in bulk which gives you the opportunity to save

economically on a few bucks on your choice of beverage. It is essential that you use proper storing

procedure to store loose leaf tea. Spending extra money on loose leaf tea store will serve you well in the

future.

You can use paper bags to store loose leaf tea to be used frequently. If you buy loose leaf tea, it will be

served most likely in a paper bag sealed to ensure that the tea keeps fresh for a couple of weeks at least.

To store tea for longer than two weeks, paper bags should not be your first choice. But they will keep

your loose leaf tea stored until you find a better container. If the quantity of tea is about an ounce, a

paper bag is ideal until you have to run to the store to purchase more tea. Just keep in mind the date of

keep your tea bag in a shaded, cool area of the kitchen, for instance you can store loose leaf tea in your

pantry cupboard.

If you ask for tea storing expertise many will tell you to seal the tea bag inside a tin. Tin cans can be

purchased in specialty shops, tea cafes and kitchenware stores. Typically, tea tin cans come in a variety

of sizes that can cater to storing different quantities of tea. Tin cans are ideal as they are able to seal the

tea tightly without allowing any moisture or heat to seep through. Tin cans are not only used for

functional purposes in the kitchen but they also have the ability to decorate the kitchen counter

depending on the style of tin cans you have purchased. To look around for tin can varieties browse

through the internet in search of specialty shops and kitchenware stores selling various designs and

styles of tin cans.

Instead of spending money on buying containers you can always store your loose tea leaf in something

you may already have in the kitchen. Consider using an air tight container that you would otherwise use

to store sugar or flour. These types of containers are great for storing loose leaf tea and will keep its

freshness for at least a month. Ceramic air tight containers are ideal as they keep away the light from

getting inside. Glass containers on the other hand look decorative but can sometimes expose the tea to

light, unless you keep it locked inside a pantry cabinet. Generally, tea containers are kept on the kitchen

counter for convenience and ease. Ceramic and glass containers can be purchased at kitchenware

retailers and stores at reasonable cost.
Trying different tea from loose leaf tea stores has never been so easy. There are websites where you can order sample packs like I did to try many white tea blends.
