Chapter 4 【Storage of tea leaves】

The purpose of tea storage is to maintain the inherent color, fragrance and shape of tea.To achieve this goal, we must try to keep it fully dry, minimize the influence of external temperature and humidity, avoid contact with objects with peculiar smell, and keep the tea leaves from being squeezed and impacted, so as to maintain their original shape, true color and true taste. . Tea for home drinking can be stored in tin cans with double-layer lids, and placed in a dry place, so as not to mix with odorous items. For long-term storage of tea, you can use a thermos bottle storage method, that is, put the tea into a thermos bottle, seal it with white wax, and wrap it with adhesive tape.It can also be put into an iron can with a double-layer lid, try to fill it as much as possible without leaving any gaps.After installation, cover the double-layer cover, and seal the cover with adhesive tape.Cover the tin can with two layers of plastic bags, seal the mouth of the bag, and put it in the freezer of the refrigerator.This maintains the quality of the tea for a longer period of time.
