I had always cut the front part of the box with the name of the tea and then the back with the brewing parameters out and then taped them to my storage containers. So, it was not as pretty as it can be now. haha I love how these tins look. I need to get them. A organized, uniform tea collection would be pretty satisfying.

    Yeah, tea storage is pain. I got more than 100 different teas, different amount, common, rare, one of a kinds and so on. But I'd rather order a package of 20 finest teas from Japan than buy a 100 tins. I collect resealable packages from teas that are done and use them for teas that don't have that luxury.
    On a computer I just keep a list of all teas I have, and keep track which are open, how much grams left and how many infusions is that.

  • @americalost5100
    @americalost5100 5 лет назад

    I'm confused about a tea like a raw puerh. From what I understand with my very limited knowledge, such a tea is still active (or alive so to speak) and so continuing to age and mature. And that you therefore generally want to store it in such manner that it continues to be able to breath (such as wrapping it in paper). If, on the other hand, you break up some of your raw puerh cake and store that portion in an airtight tin container - does this then "fix" that portion of the tea so that it stops continuing to mature and evolve? And is this the same with ripened and cooked puerhs - or am just very confused about all this? I would very much appreciate anyones help with this. Thank you.

    • @MeiLeaf
      @MeiLeaf  5 лет назад

      Hi. Thanks for your question about storage. We have made a video already about how to store PuErh tea for ageing (ruclips.net/video/WcrfiXVYjeo/видео.html). Essentially all tea is always ageing but PuErh and Whites have been processed in a way to make them age quicker and more favourably. You can slow and speed up ageing through oxygen, temperature and humidity. So, if you keep airtight on a cool dry place then it will age very slowly maintaining more of the fresh tea character and vice versa. You can mix things up by breaking a cake and airing differently and you can always change during the ageing by changing conditions.

    • @MeiLeaf
      @MeiLeaf  5 лет назад

      Oh and in terms of raw vs ripe, the effect of ageing is different with ripe becoming smoother without changing flavour as much as raw. You can watch this video for more information ruclips.net/video/Njpr7xtLWso/видео.html

    I love the new tins, I use them for all teas and put my own labels on :-) I have not tried it on phone though, I just open my cupboard and say - what do you fancy? I use white labels AVERY L473REV and are near perfect for the front space. They are easily removable. I use little colored dot labels for corner of the AVERY label to immediately know what tea type it is. Very organized cupboard now :-) Very little effort.
