Benefits of storing tea in the fridge

Refrigerator Storage Method
As tea is easy to speed up its oxidation or aging deterioration in higher temperature, therefore, tea is suitable to be stored in a ventilated and cool place, and such preservation method can slow down its auto-oxidation. It is found that if the temperature is controlled below 5℃, the effect of preserving the quality of tea will be better. Therefore, refrigerator storage has become one of the common methods of storing tea in ordinary households.
Refrigerator has excellent thermal insulation, can maintain a constant low temperature. Both to meet the tea storage needs low temperature of this feature, but also can preserve the quality of tea. Thus, the tea will be placed in it is not a good choice. First of all, we can use the tea in the form of small packages, packed into iron, tin containers or ice bottles sealed, and then set a plastic bag to prevent moisture, and then placed in the refrigerator for storage. If the temperature is controlled below 5℃, the tea will not deteriorate even if it is kept for more than a year. If stored in the spring, to take out in the winter, the colour, aroma and taste of tea with the storage of the basic unchanged, this method is simple and easy to implement. Note that the best tea storage with a special freezer, avoid with other food, so as not to tea adsorption odour.
Refrigerator storage method is simple and feasible, but there is also a need to pay attention to the situation:
(1) because the tea is easy to adsorb moisture and odour, and the refrigerator inside the humidity, which placed a variety of food will affect the taste of tea, in order to prevent the tea
Refrigerator Storage Tea into the refrigerator’s ‘deodorant’, so the tea into the
refrigerator before the sealing work must be done, and Inside the bag, fill a sufficient amount of special preservatives.
(2) After you take out the tea from the refrigerator, you should not open the package immediately, but let the tea warm up slowly. After the temperature rises to room temperature, open the bag and then brew and drink. And, it is best to drink it within half a month after taking it out of the refrigerator.
(3) Among all tea types, green tea is best stored in the refrigerator. Other teas, such as black tea, oolong tea, pu-erh tea and flower tea do not need to be stored in the refrigerator. Because the content of polyphenols in black tea and oolong tea is relatively low, the aging and deterioration rate is slower and easier to store.
Pu-erh tea is fermented tea, which contains beneficial bacteria and enzymes, which make Pu-erh taste better and become more fragrant as it ages. For the enzymes to work, they need a ventilated, cool and dry environment, but putting them in the refrigerator does not meet the needs of the enzymes, so just ordinary storage methods are good. Flower tea has a rich aroma, if stored at low temperatures, the aroma will be inhibited, reducing the freshness and concentration of the tea itself. Therefore, these teas should be stored in containers that are protected from light, dry, airtight and free from odours.
Because technology is becoming more and more advanced, refrigerators and freezers specialising in storing tea are now also available on the market, some of which also contain a 0°C ice temperature zone, so this is undoubtedly the best news for tea lovers.
