Storing Tea

All herbal tea has a shelf life. Even though the tea can be stored for approximately one year, we suggest that it is best to consume before the specified date. There are many factors influencing the flavor, aroma, and overall quality of the tea during your storage. The enemies of tea are air, light, moisture and odors from other foods. To preserve its freshness as long as possible, tea should be stored in a cool and dry place, in a container that is opaque and fairtight. An airtight tin container is best. Avoid glass jars, as this would expose the tea to light. It is also important to store the tea away from any strong-smelling food, as tea absorbs other odors very easily. We do not recommend that you refrigerate or freeze teas.
