tea is , as "national drink" , and is closely related to people's daily life. The tea has a sweet and mellow taste, which can produce salivation and quench thirst. I dare to ask who is not ready to serve some tea to entertain guests now?
However, the storage of tea has also become a big problem. I believe that most people store tea directly in the refrigerator, right? In fact, tea leaves are most likely to be kept in refrigerators without tight seals. Moreover, not every type of tea in my country is suitable for refrigerators.
Use appropriate storage methods to avoid tea adsorbing odors, spoilage, etc. Below, the author will teach you three best ways to store tea and learn these 3 tricks. No matter how long the tea is stored, it will be mellow and sweet when you drink it.
◆ aluminum foil bag storage method
aluminum foil bag is a very common food storage bag nowadays. It is the most convenient and practical, with a low cost, and it has a very strong sealing ability and can avoid odor entering. The most feared thing about tea leaves is moisture. The moisture-proof effect of aluminum foil bags is also excellent. We put the tea leaves in and seal them tightly before putting them in the refrigerator to store at low temperatures, which can achieve moisture-proof and odor-proof effects. Friends with a lot of tea at home can try this method, which saves time and effort and has a good effect.
Teas like yellow tea and green tea are afraid of high temperatures and are prone to deterioration when exposed to high temperatures, so they are suitable for low temperature storage in refrigerators; fermented tea such as black tea, oolong tea, etc. should not be stored in places where the temperature is too low. This type of tea can be kept tightly sealed and kept in a dry and ventilated place without light.
◆ thermos bottle preservation method
thermos bottle preservation method is a very ancient method because the inner liner of the thermos bottle has a strong insulation effect, strong sealing ability, and good light-proof effect. Many people generally use this method at home, which is affordable and convenient.
How to use: We pour the water in the thermos bottle clean and keep it dry, then put the tea leaves in it, then plug the bottle mouth tightly, wrap the bottle mouth with plastic wrap to prevent moisture, tea leaves deteriorate, etc.
◆ Porcelain, tin, and iron cans preservation method
Many of us have unused pots such as porcelain, tin, and iron cans in our homes, which can be used when we store tea. We can first wash the jars and dry them, then put the tea leaves in them, cover them with tape, and seal them with a layer. This can have a good moisture-proof effect. Moreover, these jars have high sealing properties and will not lose their aromas for a long time. After being stored for a long time, they will still be sweet and mellow. The preservation methods of these three types of teas above are very practical and have low cost. People who drink tea for a long time can try it. There are also many tea merchants on the market who have designed packaging forms suitable for storage in order to facilitate consumers to preserve tea. This is the case with the following two types of tea. The tea leaves are first wrapped in a bag and then placed in a sealed jar. The price is also relatively affordable. You can take a look.
