How to Store Herbal Tea For Long Lasting Freshness
Herbal teas and infusions have gained popularity in recent years, not just for their health benefits, but also for their vibrant flavours and versatility.
Whether you enjoy our calming Tranquility Blend in the evening or our zesty Energise blend to start your day, how you store your tea plays a key role in maintaining its quality.
In this post, we’ll guide you through simple but effective storage tips to help keep your teas fresh, flavourful, and enjoyable for as long as possible.
1. Keep It Cool and Dry
The most important factor in storing herbal tea is keeping it away from heat, humidity, and light. These elements can degrade the herbs, reducing both flavour and potency over time.
Choose a storage spot that’s cool, dry, and away from direct sunlight or moisture. A kitchen cupboard or pantry, not located near the stove or sink, is ideal.
2. Choose the Right Container
Your choice of container can significantly impact your tea’s freshness. Plastic and metal containers are best avoided, as they can transfer unwanted flavours or chemicals to the tea.
Instead, opt for glass or ceramic containers with airtight lids. These help protect the tea from air, light, and moisture preserving both taste and aroma.
3. Label Your Blends
If you transfer your tea out of its original packaging, it’s a good idea to label it. Include the name of the blend, and any brewing instructions if relevant.
This helps you stay organised and ensures you’re using your teas while they’re still at their best.
4. Avoid Strong Odours
Herbs and dried roots in tea can easily absorb surrounding odours, which may affect the taste. To avoid this, store your tea away from strong-smelling items like spices, coffee, or cleaning products.
A dedicated tea shelf or airtight container can help protect your blends from absorbing unwanted smells.
5. Don’t Store Tea in the Fridge
It may seem like a good way to keep tea fresh, but storing herbal tea in the refrigerator is not recommended. Fridges tend to have higher humidity and can expose your tea to unwanted moisture and odours. This can impact flavour and significantly reduce shelf life.
Stick to dry, ambient-temperature spaces and always follow any storage recommendations from the manufacturer.
