TEA STORAGE
•
Teas stored inside a vacuum sealed bag can be stored for up to two years, de-
pending on the quality and grade of tea. Once opened, tea should be stored in
an airtight container and kept in a dry and dark place.
•
Once opened, black teas will last longer than green and oolong teas but all tea
needs to be stored in ideal conditions.
•
You can tell when tea is past its best if it has lost its aroma and will create either
a bitter or dull tasting cup.

TIPS FOR OPTIMAL TEA BREWING
•
Water quality affects taste. For best results, use filtered water.
•
Finer tea particles and leaves will infuse more quickly than whole leaves. As a re-
sult, finer tea particles often release too much tannin too quickly, creating a
harsher taste. Adjust the brewing time until desired strength is achieved.
•
Using the tea scoop provided, use roughly one scoop of tea per cup / 250ml of
water.
