Choose the right tea can for better storage of tea

As a dry product, tea leaves are susceptible to mildew when wet, and most of the aroma of tea leaves is a craft aroma formed by processing, which is easy to disperse naturally or oxidatively deteriorate. Therefore, when the tea cannot be drunk in a short time, we have to find a suitable "safe place" for the tea leaves, and the tea cans came into being. There are many types of tea cans, and different materials have different functions and are suitable for different situations.

Paper tea can
Paper tea can have a relatively simple process, average sealing performance, and a relatively low price. After the tea is in full bloom, it should be drunk as soon as possible, and it is not suitable for long-term storage.

Glass tea can
The glass tea can is well sealed, moisture-proof and waterproof, and the whole body is transparent. The transformation of the tea inside the tea pot can be observed from the outside with the naked eye. However, it has good light transmittance and is not suitable for tea leaves that need to be stored in a dark environment. It is recommended to store some citrus fruit teas, scented teas, etc. that need to be dried and stored daily.

Iron Tea can
Iron tea can have good sealing performance, mid-range price, good moisture-proof and light-proof performance, and are suitable for household storage of general tea. However, due to the material, long-term use may cause rust, so when using iron tea cans to store tea, it is best to use a double-layer lid, and it is necessary to keep the cans clean, dry, and odor-free.
