While our triple-lined bags can keep your tea fresh for 2-3 months before it starts to loose its flavor and aroma, tea should be properly stored in a air-tight container, and preferably one which keeps out sunlight.
These simple, modern containers can keep your tea fresh for longer than bags, can be stacked to keep your stash organized, and bought in a color to match your kitchen, or the inside of the locked cupboard where you hide your teas, in case of burglary by thieves with good taste. If you're looking for more reasons to tin your teas, check out the blog post dedicated to just that: http://bit.ly/291E2rY
