Why a tea climate cabinet?

The quality of tea decreases due to light, moisture, odor and high temperature. It is best to store tea in a cool place such as the tea climate cabinet.

Light:
The quality of tea quickly deteriorates due to light and UV rays. If you want to store loose tea for a longer period of time, it is best to do so in a dark environment.

Moisture:
Loose tea has a longer shelf life because it is a dry product. However, loose tea has the property of absorbing moisture from the air very quickly. It is therefore advisable to use the tea climate cabinet.

Odor:
Teas can easily absorb each other's scent. Therefore, try to avoid crossbreeding loose tea as much as possible. If possible, store the loose tea in a tea tin in the cupboard.

Temperature:
The quality of tea leaves deteriorates quickly when the ambient temperature is very high. It is therefore wise to prevent loose tea or herbs from coming close to heat sources, such as sunlight, stoves or kitchen appliances.

What is also nice to know is that less oxidized teas such as white tea and green tea have a shorter shelf life than highly oxidized teas (oolong tea and black tea). Pu-erh tea develops like a good bottle of wine. The flavors and aroma of this tea improve with time.
