Do you know the proper way to store loose-leaf tea?

Many people buy loose or herbal tea for taste and health benefits. Also, loose-leaf tea is of higher quality than bagged tea and often has more concentration of therapeutic properties. However, the freshness and potency of the benefits may all depend on how the tea is stored.

You shouldn't buy loose tea stored on shelves in clear glass or plastic containers, as intense lighting, sunlight, and heat activate enzymes that will degrade the tea, stripping its constituents and making it staler quicker than when stored in an amber glass jar or tin. Tea exposure to too much light/sunlight will have a metallic flavor. Plastic absorbs odors, consequently, which can taint loose tea leaves. Most Reputable tea merchants won't sell or display their tea in clear glass or plastic containers. High-quality dried tea leaves should feel how they look: smooth, whole, and sturdy.

Placing the tea in an airtight container such as a canister, tea caddy, or aluminum tin is recommended for properly storing your favorite varieties of loose tea at home. Putting it in a dark, cool place such as a pantry will help prolong the tea's shelf life. Typically, loose tea should remain fresh for 6-12 months when kept in the right environment after purchase. Most herbal teas should be drunk within a year to receive the best health benefits from them.

Do not store loose tea in the refrigerator; even though it is a cool place, it is too humid for loose-leaf tea.

Today is Good Friday, the Christian holiday that arrives each spring just before Easter. Observed during Holy Week, Good Friday commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. For centuries, it has been a day of reflection, belief, and tradition—quietly observed and deeply felt.

For a day associated with suffering and death, the name Good Friday can seem puzzling. Why call such a solemn day “good”? One explanation points to the older uses of the word “good,” which once carried meanings closer to “holy” or “sacred.”

Like Easter itself, Good Friday does not fall on a fixed date. Instead, it follows an older rhythm—one set not by the calendar alone but by the Moon phases. Because of its seasonality, the expression "Plant your potatoes on Good Friday" has become dependable planting lore!
