Tea carton vs tea tin

Nowadays, more and more teas are sold in the market, and there are many kinds of tea packaging, but only the right packaging can be just right. The usual tea packaging is: paper box, tin box, the appearance looks beautifully packaged and easy to carry, but everyone knows that the paper box is easily rotten and rotten when the weather is wet, and the tea tin box is more boxy. Let us explain the difference between tea carton and tea tin.

At present, most families store tea mainly in paper cans and iron cans. As for which is better, we may not have done much research, but we must pay attention to the taboos of tea preservation: moisture, high temperature, sunlight, any of them If one condition is not met, it will affect the quality of tea leaves, and ultimately affect the color, aroma and taste of tea leaves.

One of the taboos for preserving tea leaves is moisture. Tea is a loose and porous hydrophilic substance with strong hygroscopicity. After the tea is damp, it will cause mold. If the temperature is suitable, mold will also grow, and mold spots will appear on the tea, which will cause the tea to deteriorate. The waterproof and moisture-proof performance of the tin can is better than that of the carton, which can effectively prevent the tea from getting wet.

Another taboo for preserving tea leaves is high temperature. If tea is stored in a high temperature environment for a long time, amino acids, sugars, vitamins, etc. in tea will be decomposed and destroyed, which will affect the taste and aroma of tea. The tea tin has a better thermal insulation effect than the tea paper can, which can avoid the stimulation of the tea leaves by the high temperature outside.

Another taboo for preserving tea is sunlight. When tea leaves are exposed to sunlight, it will promote the oxidation of tea pigments and esters, and the internal substances will undergo chemical reactions, which will affect the quality of tea leaves. Preserving tea leaves in paper cans or tin boxes can play a very good light-proof effect, and can avoid the deterioration of tea leaves caused by sunlight.
