Are a chai lover and can't live without chai? Here are five essential tips for storing tea leaves properly at home to maintain their quality and flavour. 

Keep sunlight away 

Due to the fact that tea leaves are delicate and might lose their quality if they are exposed to sunlight, it is important to store them away from harsh sunlight. 

Avoid Moisture 

The tea leaves can become dampened by the moisture in the air, which can alter both their scent and flavour. Maintain them in an area that is dry. 

Use airtight containers 

Tea leaves should be stored in airtight containers made of glass or ceramic to avoid the tea leaves from absorbing moisture and becoming contaminated with odour. 

Don't keep near spices 

Keep tea leaves away from spices and masalas to keep their natural taste, since they absorb strong odours quickly. 

Store in a cabinet 

Keep tea jars away from exposure to air, sunlight, and heat by storing them in a cool, dark cabinet or cupboard.
