-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ABOUT TEA
Q:What is the best way to store tea?
A: Tea leaves oxidise and release their flavour when exposed to air. Tea is best stored in a tightly closed container away from moisture and direct sunlight. Except delicate green teas and yellow teas, do not store in refrigerator or freezer. The humidity in the fridge is not good for tea leaves. There is also a risk that the smell of other foods may be transferred to the tea leaves.
Q: Is there an expiration date?
A: We set a shelf life for each product. All the products are imported directly from the HARNEY & SONS factory in the suburbs of New York, and they send us the newest stock with the longest shelf life. Tea can be stored for quite a long time if it is in good condition. However, it is recommended that the tea should be consumed as soon as possible after opening to preserve a better flavour.
Q: What is the caffeine content of green tea?
A: The numerical value varies depending on the conditions, so it is difficult to accurately measure how much caffeine a particular tea has. It depends on the amount of tea leaves and the steeping time. Generally speaking, a cup of green tea contains one-third of the caffeine of a cup of coffee.
Q: What is a tea sachet?
A: Our sachets are pyramid food-grade nylon tea bags filled with whole leaves. The advantage of the pyramid sachet is that it provides enough space for tea leaves to expand fully, which is indispensable for making delicious tea.
Q: Is it better to store tea in a freezer?
A: No, do not store tea in the freezer. The freezer has a strong aroma and moisture. It is better to store tea in a airtight container and avoid direct sunlight. Please be aware that tea absorbs strong odours like blotting paper!
Q: What is the difference between herbal tea and decaffeinated tea?
A: Decaffeinated tea is tea that has been through a process to remove its caffeine. Herbal teas, also known as 'tisanes', are infusions with dried fruits, flowers, spices or herbs using similar steeping method, they are naturally free of caffeine.
