Tea doesn't last long in my house, I drink it all day long. Even during the summer. My family thinks I'm nuts for drinking hot tea when it's hot out, but I can't go without it or all is not right in my world. <abbr><em>Reeni’s last blog post..<a href="http://cinnamonspiceandeverythingnice.blogspot.com/2008/11/pumpkin-biscuits-for-pumpkin-awards.html" rel="nofollow">Pumpkin Biscuits for 'Pumpkin' & Awards</a></abbr></em> Thanks for all the great tips!

Tea is expensive - don't risk ruining it by poor storage. If your tin or packet or pouch will not withstand ducking in a bucket of water overnight then it's NOT moisture proof. If you wouldn't risk doing that then you are risking your tea quality by dodgy storage. Nigel at Teacraft Absolutely right – for storage your container must be moisture proof.

Try Dragonwater, Enjoying Tea or The NecessiTeas for resealable pouches for sale. It is nice to keep some on hand for sharing/swapping tea with others.
