1. Avoid Sunlight
Tea leaves are sensitive, so storing them requires special care and attention. The harsh sunlight can adversely affect the quality and aroma of tea leaves.
2. Keep Away From Spices

3. Use Airtight Containers
This one is a must! Storing the tea leaves in an airtight glass or ceramic container helps prevent the tea leaves from absorbing moisture and odour.
4. Use Stainless Steel Containers
