KOMPAS.com – Proper storage of tea is very important to maintain its shelf life, quality and taste, just like storing coffee.
By following a few simple steps, you can ensure your tea stays fresh and delicious for longer. The following are tips for proper tea storage.
Location of storing tea
1. Away from strong odors
Tea easily absorbs aromas from its surroundings, so make sure it is stored away from ingredients with strong odors.
2. Dark place
Use a completely opaque cupboard or container to store tea. Light can damage its quality.

3. Separate strong aromatic teas from other types of tea
Teas with strong aromas can affect the taste of other teas, so store different types of tea separately.
4. Avoid damp places
Storing in damp areas can damage tea because tea easily absorbs moisture.
Tea storage packaging materials
1. Use opaque packaging
Choose packaging material that is opaque so that the tea is protected from light.
2. Make sure the packaging is safe for food
Use food-safe packaging, such as coated ceramic, non-reactive metal, or non-toxic plastic. Avoid using containers that are not for food.

Wooden packaging can be used, but make sure the wood does not have an odor that could affect the taste of the tea.
4. Choose high quality bags
If using a bag, choose one that has a layered lining, such as foil or glassine, to protect the tea from air, water or fat.
1. Close the container tightly
Make sure the storage container has a tight-fitting lid to protect the tea from air and moisture. Containers with double lids and odorless silicone seals are a good choice for tea.
