tea storage
New tea drinker here and I purchased several (a lot) sample tins. Since I have purchased so many, I am wondering the best way to store them during use, in the fridge or just out on the countertop?

Also, just like with coffee in the freezer, the fridge is a high-moisture environment that can destroy tea. Even if your containers are completely airtight (and not all of adagio's tins are; although I've never had a sample-sized tin, myself), if you've ever seen condensation on a window, you know that moisture is going to find a way into your tea.
Simple fact is, getting moisture into your tea while storing it is NOT GOOD.

I agree with Andy and Studio271. Moisture will kill the tea and it'll pick up "fridge smell." I keep my sample tins in these stackable mesh bins, on a small shelf in my kitchen. Works perfectly well for me!
