Storage time of herbal tea
The term "fresh" is not acceptable for a beverage such as tea. In the case of tea, it is customary to talk about the correct storage of the product. In order for the dried herb not to lose its specific taste and aroma, as well as the variety of useful properties, it is necessary to take into account a number of features when storing herbal tea.
Firstly, it is able to absorb moisture from the environment, and this leads to product deterioration. Therefore, it is very important to observe correct storage. Place the prepared tea composition in porcelain, glass containers or foil bags. The fact is that such a container does not have a specific smell, does not allow moisture and foreign aromas to pass through. An important point: the container chosen for storing tea must have a tight lid or some other method that allows the tea to be sealed.
Secondly, herbal tea very easily absorbs a variety of foreign odors, while losing its unique aroma. That is why it is necessary to store it in a tightly closed container. Paper bags, plastic and metal utensils are not suitable for packing tea collection.
The room in which the herbal tea is kept for a long time should be warm and at the same time well ventilated, but not humid. Subject to the described conditions, tea can be stored for several months and even years. In this case, the beneficial properties of the drink will not be lost, and the aroma will remain as pleasant and rich.
But brewed tea, made up of herbal compositions, must be drunk during the day, because after a day it will no longer have all its beneficial properties, it will lose its usual smell and taste.

Keep in mind that medicated herbal teas should only be consumed with the advice of a doctor. Because such tea is not just a drink, it is a full-fledged medicine, and the herbs that make up it may have various contraindications.
