Tea Storage

by Deleted User #30661 » Jun 20th, '09, 20:47

What's the best way to store puerh that you don't want to age anymore? I'm trying to preserve the tea as it is, but for a very long time, like 5 years. Are cannisters appropriate? Like an airtight one?

All answers appreciated, especially if you can provide a link to a certain product. I don't mind paying more if something is clearly better. Thanks everyone!

62% hum. 70F Under. Sealed and no light. Most of 50+ are stored this way.

Maybe put it in a mason jar? Any kinda jar should work, you just dont want it to be too porous or the tea will continue to change.
