At Cup of Tea, we love all things tea! We’re a UK specialist in sourcing some of the finest teas from around the world and some of the handiest accessories you’ll ever need.
It’s a fact that loose-leaf teas and real-leaf tea bags taste better and stay fresher for longer if stored in tea caddies. And because our teas are produced in small batches for the very best flavour, we always recommend that our customers store them in airtight tins to keep them at their best. There are other reasons for purchasing tea caddies, and as we become more aware of zero waste shopping, and the need to reduce our waste, we need practical yet attractive vessels for not just our teas but other foodstuffs. So, whether you need to store pulses, home bakes, sweets, or pet treats, look no further!
Tea, along with other foodstuffs, benefits from being stored in the dark, so non-transparent containers are perfect (sorry, jars!). Our range of metal and stainless-steel containers are food-safe and can be used over and over again. We have an extensive range of tea caddies that suit all tastes.
Five reasons for storing your teas in airtight caddies:
Sunlight – It is advisable to store tea in darkness to prevent bright light from degrading the strength of the flavour as well as the aroma
Oxygen – It is a common myth that all moisture has been removed from loose-leaf tea leaves so that oxidisation wouldn’t be an issue. It is, however, imperative to store tea in an airtight container to prevent the risk of oxidisation. This is especially important for fresher teas that have some moisture retention, such as green teas.
Heat – Our homes are often kept extremely warm through central heating systems. This can pose a threat to the freshness of your tea leaves if they are not stored correctly.
Odour – One of the most effective ways to protect your tea's flavour and aroma is to store it well away from other strong flavoured or scented foods. Never store your tea anywhere near pungent spices or herbs. Even other bold teas will affect the integrity of your tea so beware.
Moisture – Moisture is bad for any dried food product, not least tea. Tea has been withered, rolled, oxidised, dried and packaged to provide the consumer with the perfect tea leaves for your cup. Moisture can undo that lengthy process, and we advise teas to be stored away from the oven, kettle, and any other forms of moisture and humidity. This can be difficult in kitchens where moisture is inevitable, so a tea caddy really is the perfect answer.
