Re: Storing tea in a freezer?

That’s correct. Although keeping tea in the freezer does keep the color for a much longer time, the tea would degenerate much more rapidly upon return to room temperature. This is a topic that concerns freezing technology and we have not found any scientific documentation yet concerning similar topics. All we have written is from what we have observed and experienced. I hope with the hopeful increase of the general consumption of finer green tea, corresponding research in the issue can be addressed and we can have fresh green tea supply all over the world all year round. I think the this would involve only a simple application with existing technologies, but the costs of it is barring small producers from trying it. The catch is, almost all finer teas are produced by smaller producers.
