Protect your investment (and your palate) by storing your fine, loose leaf tea in a proper tea container. Tea needs to be kept away from heat, light, air, and moisture. The best way to store tea is at room temperature in an airtight tea canister. Unlike coffee, you cannot wrap up tea and put it in the freezer. Tea will lose its flavor and scent quickly if stored in fancy, purely decorative tea containers or kept near a heat source, such as a stove or next to the toaster in your kitchen.
Although our loose leaf teas are very beautiful, please resist the urge to store the teas in glass container for display on your counter. An airtight canister is the best way keep your loose teas safe and fresh. Teavana’s airtight double walled stainless steel tea tins are the perfect tea storage container to keep your teas fresh for up to a year. Shop our tea storage tins or consider the following tea storage options:
