This is brilliant! Thank you so much for this video.💜💜💜
Thank you for watching!
What about dark violet glass such as Miron glass apothecary jars? Its my favorite to use. Bless you for your videos and knowledge.
As long as the light doesn’t go through the container, it will protect the tea longer. We recommend avoiding smell and light to prolong the tea shelf life. Happy sipping!
Also, do you have a separate video that covers which teas are suitable for Vacuum Seal bags as an option? These are the kind that you seal each bag with a small portable vacuum..Yes, they don’t stop light, but if you store them in a paper bag it could cover that problem..Also, if you store them in the freezer, the tea won’t get frostbite and lose nutrition in a vacuum sealed bag..Thanks for the awesome videos!
Thanks for the question Adam! We don't have a video on that however, most teas, especially fresh and fragrant ones, can definitely be stored in a vacuum-sealed bag. Most of our teas sold in store are vacuum sealed! However, all aged teas (Pu-Erh, aged Oolongs) and delicate leaves (big leaf) should not be vacuum sealed.
Thanks for the great Video! I have one question: You mentioned at 1:25 the porous Terracotta is suable for oxidesed teas like "sometimes even white tea". I thought the idea of white tea is to ferment and oxidise them as little as possible by quickly drying it. Why did you mention it in this regard? Thanks a lot for answering it!
Hi Steam n Stuff! Thanks for your question. Fresh white tea is ultra high in antioxidants, for that purpose it is recommended to enjoy when it is fresh. However, some white teas are aged and enjoyed for its anti-inflammatory properties. That’s why you will also see some white teas in the market that are pressed into a tea cake for aging purposes.
@@treasuregreentea Thanks for the work of replying! And again something learned:)
Interesting! I was under the impression that white tea, just like aged oolong, is more suitable to age in an airtight container. Unlike the puer and heicha who needs to breath.
Love to watch your videos while drink some nice Puer
Thank you, enjoy!
Hello, Olivia!
I am creator of a Russian brand of Chinese tea, and I would appreciate your opinion on our package.
I always see different tea companies use zip-lock pack for tea, but when I use it it usually looses a great part of the aroma. So in our brand we decided to use a thick cardboard can, foiled inside and matt covered from the outside. When you open it, the aroma is really strong, though the construction lets the tea breath. What do you think of this kind of original package if it used for one tea type only?
To retain the tea aroma, it's crucial to use air-tight containers or good seals. While zip-lock bags can be used, the problem arises when they aren't properly sealed after use, causing the aroma to fade. Hope that helps. Cheers!
Hi, Olivia I Just purchased the Aged White Tea Cake. What’s the best way to keep it fresh and stored? Thanks. Michelle
Hi Michelle, your aged white tea will be best stored in a cool, dry place. If you have tin or canister, you can keep it in there in your cupboards with no problem.
@@treasuregreentea Thank you. Great
I didn’t know I could put the tea in the freezer. That’s great to keep it fresh? Okay I will do that. Should I keep it in the original bag in the freezer?
Hi Michelle, yes! Only teas with high moisture content. Typically that means fresh harvest green teas and lightly oxidized Iron Buddhas. Any type of aged tea or roasted tea should not be in the freezer or fridge as we want to keep those away from any moisture.
Original packaging that has a zip lock should be great in the freezer.
@@treasuregreentea Thank you. I ordered some tea and a little tray from your store. I’m so excited. ☮️💟
@@michellejackson2995 Thank you so much! We hope you love your new tea and teaware. Let us know if you have any questions!
