1, stored in drying box
Drying box is a very good choice for storing tea. Constant temperature, isolated from the air. The box can be kept dry, and the stored tea leaves will not get wet, so the stored tea leaves will basically not deteriorate.
2, refrigerator preservation
Refrigerator is one of the important equipment for keeping fresh in life. The low temperature of refrigerator is the main factor to inhibit food deterioration, which can keep the freshness and fragrance of tea. Note: The refrigerator for storing tea leaves must be sanitary, clean and tasteless, and nothing other than tea leaves can be stored.
3, thermos preservation
Hot water bottles can also be used as storage devices. Open the thermos, clean it, put it in a clean place for several hours, drain the water, pour the tea to be stored into the bottle, and put a plug on it for storage.
Taboos of tea storage
One bogey: there is too much water in tea.
Water can promote the chemical reaction of effective components in tea. The more water, the faster the loss of these effective components, and the more obvious the interaction. Therefore, when tea is preserved, the water content of tea is preferably 3% ~ 5%, and when the water content of tea exceeds 6%, it is easy to deteriorate.
Check the water content of tea, which can generally be estimated by touching. Grab a handful of tea leaves and rub them gently with your fingers. If it is powder, it proves that the water content of tea leaves is less than 5%, which is suitable for preservation. Conversely, if the leaves are at the end, it means that the water content is high. It is best not to buy this kind of tea when shopping.
Two bogeys: tea leaves touch the smell.
Tea has a strong adsorption effect, which can adsorb all kinds of smells. If tea leaves are often put together with some smelly objects, it will seriously affect the quality of tea leaves.
