Whats the best way to store my tea?
Moisture and heat are the two things to avoid when storing tea. Exposure to moisture and heat can cause the tea leaves to oxidize and lose flavor. Kanaya Teas are best stored in a cool place in the foil wrapper with a clip or rubber band. Kanaya Fine Teas are picked, rolled, steamed, and sealed immediately to lock in freshness. How long will it stay fresh? Opened tea should be consumed within one month and unopened teas should be consumed within 1 year to ensure freshness. • Whats the best time to enjoy each tea? Sencha – can is enjoyed in the morning and throughout the day. In Japan, tea is enjoyed from early morning to after dinner. We love to pair strong cups of Sencha with sweets and chocolate for a special treat. Hojicha – contains the least amount of caffeine, so many people enjoy drinking it in the evening or right before bed. It also has a clean flavor that can be served over ice in the summertime or to clear the palate between meal courses. Genmaicha and Genmaicha with matcha
