What should I do if the weather gets hot and the tea leaves go bad easily?

Save tea in summer and achieve "five precautions".

Tea is relatively difficult to deteriorate in dry and cold autumn and winter, and spring and summer are the key periods for tea preservation.

● One is moisture-proof.

Although summer is not as humid as spring, there is also a lot of rain. Tea can easily absorb moisture in the air, so it must be sealed and packaged, and tea cannot be exposed to the air.

● Second, prevent high temperature.

People get heatstroke in hot weather, and tea is also afraid of heat. In summer, we must be careful not to put tea next to the hot window. It's best to keep it in the shade.

● Three-proof odor

High temperature will make tea absorb odor more obviously, so tea must stay away from odor and don't put it with something with strong taste.

● Strong light four defenses

In summer, we should pay attention to keeping tea in a dark place, and we should not use transparent glass jars or transparent bags to store tea.

● Five anti-oxidation measures

It is necessary to isolate oxygen, or seal, put a bag of deoxidizer in the conditional tea, or seal it with a vacuum sealing machine.

How to preserve different kinds of tea?

● Green tea

Green tea pays attention to the "three greens" of dry tea green, soup green and leaf bottom green. It can be said that it is the most delicate tea among the six major teas, and it is very easy to change color and taste. It's best to keep it in the refrigerator. The suitable temperature is about 0℃~5℃. Remember to seal it before putting it in the refrigerator to isolate the odor.

● Yellow tea

Put it in a sealed container, and put it in a small bag if there is preservative. Yellow tea is not as perishable as green tea. It can be stored in a cool and dark place or in the refrigerator.

● Black tea

The aroma and taste of black tea are very rich. If it is not well preserved, the taste and fragrance of tea will soon disappear. Black tea can be stored in tin cans and ceramic cans. If you put it in a tea bag, you'd better seal it with a clip.

● Oolong tea

Like Tieguanyin, Shan Cong and Rock Tea, they all belong to oolong tea. The biggest feature of oolong tea is its high aroma, so it is necessary to avoid aroma emission when storing tea leaves. Be sure to fill the tea leaves when canning, so as to reduce the odor.

● Black tea and white tea

These two kinds of tea are suitable for long-term storage, so it is enough to pay attention to ventilation, dryness and taste separation when storing. Keep it as high as possible, because the ground is wet. Well-preserved tea leaves will be more fragrant.
