Because the leaves easily absorb the moisture in the air or odor, such as the seal is not strict, aroma and volatile. Therefore, the storage of tea with what containers, with what method has been a special attention to the people through the ages. Thus, all kinds of tea cans came into being. Using tea pot storage is the most commonly used method of storing tea, and also the simplest and most feasible method. Even so, the tea leaves should not be stored for too long, and the tea pot is not too big, because it can not be completely closed. A small amount of tea in the general family, with tin can, iron can, colored glass bottles and other storage can be preserved method is very simple, the tea bought back immediately into a number of small bags, installed in the tea can or cylinder prepared in advance. Be careful not to install half a box, and try to fill the cover at a time. And, do not open the lid when not using tea, and cover the lid immediately.
The tea cans containing tea must be placed in a dry and cool place, not in the direct sunlight, odor, damp, heat source, so as not to accelerate the oxidation, degradation or aging of tea. And so that the iron pot is not easy to rust. Conditions can also be properly put some quicklime filled with cloth bags in the container tube, in order to play the role of moisture absorption and preservation.
Here are two common tea tank types and storage methods on the market:
1. The iron can
Before purchase, check whether the tank body and lid are good. When storing, the dry tea will be canned, the pot should be filled very tightly, and can also gently shake to try whether it is filled with tea storage with this method, which is convenient to use, but not for long-term storage.
Some people also like to buy the double-covered iron cans, which helps to preserve the tea for a long time. Can pack tea, covered with double cover, cover seam should be sealed with tape, but also cover two layers of plastic bags, tie the bag mouth.
2. Tin can
Since ancient times, people like to use tin to purify the water to make the taste sweeter. The ancient Liu Xianting recorded in the Guangyang Miscellaneous Records: " Huishan Spring Qing is willing to two Zhejiang, to have tin. Yu said that water and tea are the most appropriate, tin bottle storage tea leaves, the aroma is not scattered."Zhou Lianggong also said in" Min Xiaoji ":" Min people stored tea with coarse porcelain bile bottles, brought new tea close to Gushan, learned from Xin'an and made it into square yuan tin, so they felt in good spirits."It can be seen that tin storage tea has been used in the late Ming Dynasty.
Tin is a metal element that is non-toxic and harmless to the human body. Generally from tin tea cans, many metal will have their own metal taste, but tin does not have any taste. Because of this, modern people will take advantage of this characteristic to preserve tea.
In addition to the characteristic of no odor, the tea pot made of tin is stronger for its own material. Because the tin can itself is relatively thick, the can neck is high, and the temperature is constant, so the preservation function is better.
At present, the tin tank on the market is more mixed with lead, zinc and other metals, long use of health, has not seen the relevant discussion. The newly popular stainless steel large-mouth double-covered tea pot, clean and light, and have a variety of different specifications, easy to use.
However, no matter what tea can is used to store tea, we need to understand the following two precautions:
(1) Good tea leaves need to be stored in good tea cans, especially the delicate green tea, which has higher requirements for preservation. If the bad tea pot, nutrition and taste will be lost, but also easy to deteriorate. For good tea, I have to say that it is a waste, which is also what tea lovers can not tolerate. Therefore, the condition must choose a good tea pot, this is also a more sensible investment.
(2) POins with other flavors can not be used to hold tea leaves. We can first use a little tea in the pot, cover the lid, up and down left and right shake the wall of the pot after pouring off, so can remove the odor in the pot. There are stainless steel tea cans with two layers of lid on the market, which are simple and practical. We can cooperate with the clean tasteless plastic bag after the tea, and then put the lid into the jar, sticky with the lid with tape, so that the tea is also a good way.
In short, there are a variety of tea cans, as long as you pay attention to the temperature, humidity, light and odor, tea can be preserved for a long time.
