Do not retrieve Tea by hand as it can lead to spoilage easily.

How should one retrieve tea? Let's share with everyone.

Pay attention to these points!

Reaching into the tea to retrieve some not only ruins the inherent elegance of the tea leaves, but also risks spoiling them and accelerating their spoilage. Tea leaves are most vulnerable to dampness or contamination by odors.

Our hands come into contact with many surfaces throughout the day, inevitably carrying bacteria and microorganisms, and they are also prone to sweating or coming into contact with moisture.

If you grab tea leaves with your hands, you change their dry environment and may contaminate them with bacteria or microorganisms. A moist environment provides an ideal breeding ground for these organisms. Under such conditions, the tea's fragrant aroma will gradually fade, and the tea itself may deteriorate more quickly.

In the art of tea, it is recommended to use a dedicated tea scoop to retrieve tea, which can be made of Stainless steel, wood, or Bamboo. However, after using the tea scoop, it must be kept in a dry environment, such as a cabinet for storing utensils. If possible, it's best to keep the tea scoop in a sterilizer. Of course, you can also directly pour the tea leaves into a Cup, and the amount poured depends on personal preference. It's important to note that if you pour too much tea, do not return it to the tea bag or tea container, as these tea leaves may have come into contact with water or other impurities in the cup and become damp, which would also accelerate the spoilage of the tea.

In addition to the method of retrieving tea affecting its shelf life, the storage of tea also requires careful consideration. It's best to store tea in tin bottles, porcelain bottles, or colored glass bottles; Iron boxes or wooden boxes are also suitable. The containers used for storing tea must be dry and clean, and placed in a dry and ventilated area after filling them with tea.
