How to store tea in summer

IN THIS ARTICLE: Summer is here and the weather is hot. Many people like making tea. Drinking tea has many benefits, so how to preserve tea in summer? Let's have a look.

(1) tin storage method:

Put the sun-dried tea leaves into an iron can with a double cover and fill it as much as possible to reduce the air. After installation, cover and seal the gap with adhesive tape. You can put two layers of plastic bags outside, and the bag mouth is tightly tied to avoid contact with odor.

(2) container storage method:

Put the tea in a plastic bag, squeeze the air out of the bag, and then put it in a dry and tasteless container (such as a biscuit box or a small jar). Put quicklime or silica gel into a container and seal it.

③ Refrigeration method:

Put the container in the refrigerator to further ensure the stability of tea quality by using low temperature. The advantage of this method is more obvious when it is hot in summer.

(4) thermos storage method:

The thermos bottle has good heat insulation and moisture-proof effect. After the tea leaves are put into the thermos (as full as possible), plug the cork, seal it with white wax, and wrap it with adhesive tape to ensure the container is sealed.

(5) oxygen extraction method:

Vacuum packaging, or placing the tea leaves in a compound bag, pumping out air, and filling with nitrogen. This method is better, but it requires special equipment, so the requirements are higher.

The method mentioned above is mainly to ensure that the quality of tea is "unchanged or not changed much", which is suitable for green tea and some oolong tea; For white tea, black tea and other tea products that need time to change their quality, the requirements for temperature and humidity are relatively loose: in general, the most comfortable conditions for people are also the most suitable conditions for tea products to be transformed, but attention should be paid to avoiding light and isolating odor.
