Quick answer
Store your loose leaf tea in a clean, dry Nemi Glass Jar with the airtight wooden lid, away from light and heat. This keeps your tea fresh for months.
Why airtight storage matters for tea freshness
Loose leaf tea loses flavor when exposed to air, light, and moisture. An airtight container like the Nemi Glass Jar with its wooden lid prevents oxidation and keeps the leaves dry. This is especially important for delicate teas like green or white tea, which are more sensitive to humidity.
Choosing the right jar for your tea quantity
The Nemi Glass Jar holds up to 60-80 teabags or 400-600g of loose-leaf tea. That's enough for most home stashes. If you buy smaller amounts, you can still use the jar—just leave less headspace to minimize air exposure. Avoid overfilling, as crushing leaves can release oils prematurely.
How to store loose leaf tea in a Nemi Glass Jar
- 1. Clean and dry the jar: Wash the glass jar with warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and dry completely. The wooden lid should only be wiped with a dry cloth, never submerged. A damp jar will cause mold. Always check the lid is dry before sealing.
- 2. Fill with tea, leaving some headspace: Pour your loose leaf tea into the jar, leaving about an inch of space at the top. This allows the lid to seal properly without crushing the leaves. Overfilling can break leaves and reduce flavor. Underfilling leaves too much air inside.
- 3. Seal and store in a cool, dark place: Screw the wooden lid on tightly. Place the jar in a cupboard away from sunlight, heat sources like the stove, and strong-smelling items like spices. Heat and light speed up oxidation. Keep the jar away from windows and ovens.
- 4. Use within 6–12 months for best flavor: Write the tea type and purchase date on a label or the jar itself. Most teas stay fresh for 6–12 months when stored this way. Open the jar only when needed to limit air exposure. Older tea won't spoil but will taste flat. Rotate your stock to enjoy tea at its peak.
