Remember, don't put any tea in the refrigerator!

Friends who love tea usually have a lot of tea at home. Many friends will put tea in the refrigerator to store it, and even buy a small refrigerator to store tea.

In fact, this is a misunderstanding. Whether the tea is placed in the refrigerator should be treated differently.

Suitable for tea stored in the refrigerator

Green tea, fragrant oolong tea, and wet tea. Among the six major tea, green tea is the easiest to deteriorate. You need to pay extra attention when saving. You can put the tea in the tea tank and seal it, put it in the refrigerator with a sealed bag; Wet tea can be stored in the refrigerator.

Not suitable for tea stored in the refrigerator

Black tea, Pu'er tea, and white tea are naturally due to the reasons for later transformation, especially Pu'er tea is the drinking value reflected in the later aging.

Putting these two types of tea in the refrigerator. In addition to the moisture problems mentioned above, in the low temperature environment of the refrigerator, the activity of biological enzymes in tea will also decrease, which will affect the efficiency of tea conversion.

Due to its own aroma, Jasmine Tea will gradually fade its aroma if it is placed in the refrigerator.

But there is a special case here, which is Bitan Piaoxue. Because Bitan Piaoxue added jasmine in the later stage of the production process, put it properly in the refrigerator, which is conducive to the aroma of flowers, but the aroma of long -term storage will also be lost.

Depending on the situation, the tea stored in the refrigerator

Some studies have shown that temperature has a great impact on the quality of red tea storage. Tea leaves are stored for one year under the conditions of lower temperature (0-5 ° C). After a year of storage, the decrease in the content of tea lutein is as much as 18 times higher than low temperature treatment, while the increase in tea brownin is 2.76 times higher. This makes the low -temperature stored tea still keeps fresh and mellow, while the tea stored in room temperature becomes brown and the aroma becomes blunt.

Therefore, because the black tea is full of fermented tea, it is allowed at normal temperature in most cases, which has little effect on the quality of tea.

Some of the high -quality and tender black tea (such as Jin Junmei) are usually highly have a high lutein content. Under the condition of sealing, they can be stored in a low -temperature environment in the refrigerator for a period of time. This is conducive to slowing the browning rate of black tea.

Precautions for the refrigerator storage of tea

In the family, if it is not a refrigerator specially used for tea, there are usually some other foods, and the tea leaves are extremely easy to taste, so when storing, you must wrap the tea.

If it is the condition of loose tea, it is recommended to put the tea leaf in a clean, tasteless sealing bag and tea tank, and then put it in the refrigerator. If it is non -loose tea, it is recommended to check whether the sealing of the tea packaging is good first, and then put a clean sealed bag, so as to avoid the taste of the tea with other things.
