While we take lot of care to keep your teas fresh here at our facility, we urge you to do the same. Tea is not perishable but it can deteriorate in quality if not stored right. Always store your teas sealed in an airtight container that blocks out all light and contains no moisture. Keep your tea away from light, moisture, and heat. Store the tea container in a dark and cool place, away from sunlight as heat subtly changes the flavors of tea.
