Porcelain Tea

Tea Storage made beautiful by tea canisters

Storing tea safely, particularly the loose leaf tea is an essential component of enjoying flavorful cup of tea throughout the year. Tea leaves are highly vulnerable to heat, light and moisture. The essential oils in the tea leaves react with these atmospheric substances, and cause deterioration in tea’s freshness, flavor and aroma. The tea turns soggy and limp. Many of your expensive loose leaf teas can fall prey to improper tea storage and discourage you from buying loose teas. However, your really don’t need to compromise with the freshness and flavor of your tea. The tea market is teeming with wonderful tea storage tins, cans, and canisters which bail you out of this problem.

These tea storage cans are specifically designed to maintain tea’s natural crispness through hot and humid seasons. These tins have a special flavor protective coating on the inside. This protects the tea from reacting with the material of the tin and locks in the aroma and flavor of the tea. This tea storage range comes with an air tight lid which completely cuts off atmospheric moisture and heat. The contents inside are kept absolutely safe.

More than just storage containers, these tea canisters make lovely tea accessories. They come in a beautiful range of different materials, patterns, and colors. These tins can be made up of ceramic, porcelain, hard made earth, metal or steel. The exteriors of the tins are decorated with beautiful paintings, sculpting, and carving. For example, Japanese motif tea containers come in a range of bold, vibrant, floral, cool, and soft colors. The Chinese tins have traditional Chinese motifs painted on them. Porcelain tea canisters come in aristocratic ivory white shade complemented with serene paintings on the exterior. They make very attractive table pieces and add color and spark to your tea tray.

There is also a special Japanese style tea storage container made up of cherry wood. These don’t have the usual flavor protective coating but the wood absorbs the flavor and scent of the tea instead of reacting with it. You may therefore devote a single wood tea container to store a specific flavor of tea.

Yet another different variety in this range is that of clay containers. These clay tea storage vessels are also a great way to age high quality pu erh’s and oolongs. So you can enhance the taste of the tea as you store it!

You can also choose ethnic style oriental tea boxes made up of bamboo wood or oak wood. The wooden tea boxes are compact and well constructed. Brass hinges and a brass lid chain prevent the lid from falling back and secure the lid tightly.  The wooden box is sub divided into six to eight compartments so you can store more than one tea in it. You can store individually wrapped teas in each of these small chambers.

You need to be careful when choosing tea storage tins. As the market is inundated with such items, you are likely to be tempted solely by their beauty and decoration. You may overlook their efficacy at doing the job they are supposed to do. Make sure you check out the material used, whether it has the flavor protective coating, an air light lid, and the maximum duration it is capable of keeping tea fresh. Most tea tins available in the market can store tea properly for up to one year.

Apart from just being tea storage containers, these versatile tins find ample utility in the kitchen. They can help store an array of kitchen groceries like sugar, spices, coffee, nuts, cookies etc. Besides, these cute little tins make excellent gift items. They are a sure value for money and a worthwhile purchase.
