I can’t thank you enough for offering a place to get pesticide free tea! It’s not easy especially since “the laws” are not clear or they’re simply ignored.
Wonderful video, the part about overnight storage of used leaves was especially useful. My own kitchen at home is pretty filled with stuff so I have a dedicated nook in my room on my bookshelf for all my teas and equipment (away from sun of course!) next to a copy of The Book of Tea. Thank you for all the work you put into this channel.
Good day! I was thinking of buying an anti humidity cabinet to store my tea. Like the ones photographers use to protect their gear from moisture humidity and mold. Do you think that this might be a great idea?
I just made my first order of Japanese teas (after a couple of years of exploring Chinese loose leaf teas) and I chose you from among a list of companies not only for what's in the sampler package itself, but also as payment for the wealth of educational content I've been able to watch on your RUclips channel. It's appreciated.
personally i've been vacuum sealing my large quantities tea (some teas I buy in big quantities that last me for months) so i only keep a handful for the next couple of weeks in my usual container,and the rest goes into a vacuum sealed bag. I gotta say i was a bit skeptical at first but after a year or so of using this method, some teas that i've had for months have kept the freshness and aroma like day 1 when opening the bag,I recommend trying it if you have a vacuum sealer at home.
@@michaelfranciotti3900not at all,it also depends the type of leaves it is,you can always use a softer setting like the one used for fruits etc where it doesnt press everything as hard for those bigger more open leaves .
Hey NTV, Do you know of an air- and light-tight multi-container that can separately store 4-6 different teas each with about 1 month's supply of tea? The idea being to store the daily-use tea from the bulk of the storage tins and keep them shut for about a month.
If you have access to a way to vacuum the container that can lessen exposure to air; I’m hesitant to ever store in clear containers. I’ve found I have to increase brewing time some when I do multiple brewing sessions.
Hi Nioteas, could you please tell me how much matcha is provided in your matcha sampler package? I know it’s 21 types but how much of each type is provided. Would it be around 1 bowl of matcha per sample?
Yes it is 2 grams of matcha per sample pack so it is enough to make 1 or even 2 bowls of matcha: nioteas.com/products/matcha-tea-sampler-21-pack-matcha-whisk
Also try to avoid unnecessarily big containers. Air has alway some humidity in it and will take some volatile oils from the stored tea. The more air you have in your container, the more potential loss of volatile oils and introduction of humid air you get with each opening of the container. @Nioteas TV: When writing your scripts for your videos, you should make sure, you don't get to many repetitions of the same word/phrases. You used variations of "how to store loose leaf teas" 5 times in the first 16 secounds of the video alone and afterwards quite a lot as well. That made it a bit tedious to listen to at some points in the video.

Does vacuum sealing crush or damage the leaves at all?

@syro2008 thanks for the reply! How do you store the vac sealed bags? Just a dark, cool place?
@@michaelfranciotti3900 yup

How long can tea last ?
green tea should be drunk within 2 years, most other teas can go for many years
Best is not to remove it from the container it came with and some loose leaf tea comes with tin can to preserve freshness
yes this is usually a good call

Yes the tip on the smaller containers is a good one! You're right on the wording, I hope you are still able to enjoy some of our other videos!
