TEA STORAGE

For unopened packages of tea, we recommend that our products be stored in the refrigerator or, even better, the freezer. Our 1 lb loose leaf packages are vacuumed sealed and are good for 12 months in the refrigerator. Our 2 oz packages have an oxygen absorber to keep the tea fresh until opened and are also good for 12 months. Once the package is opened, please discard the oxygen absorber.

After opening, reseal the package well after use. (Our 2 oz package is re-sealable.) Then store it in your refrigerator. Please note, taking open packages in and out of the refrigerator frequently may cause the tea to absorb moisture that harms the quality of the tea. After opening a package, we suggest you consume the tea in a few months to enjoy the freshest tea. Tea is a very stable product and you can drink it up to a year after opening. After a year, the tea is still drinkable but you most likely will notice a change in its quality and flavor. We don't recommend to store tea in glass jars since the light will impact the color and quality of the tea.
