Can yorkshire tea be stored directly in tin cans? Is there a peculiar smell coming out of the jar?

A few days ago, my friend "Li Sili" asked a question: "I bought a new tin can for Yorkshire tea, but there is some peculiar smell in it. What should I do?"

 We all know that tea is a kind of loose texture and porous material, which is very absorbent. One of the most basic requirements of the tea storage environment is that there should be no peculiar smell. Therefore, if you can smell the peculiar smell of the tea storage tin you bought, you must not store the tea immediately.

Then what should be done? Is it really hopeless? Don't rush to throw it, there is a way.

You can use a small amount of tea leaves or tea leaves that are no longer drinkable, and place them in an iron can for a few days or longer. Wait until the tea powder has absorbed all the peculiar smell in the tin can, and then store the yorkshire tea in the tin can.

In addition, you can also wipe the inner wall of the tin can with tea or tea powder back and forth, which can accelerate the elimination of peculiar smell. If the peculiar smell in the tin can still remains the same after a long period of time, it may be a material problem. It is recommended not to use this tin can.

In fact, regardless of whether there is a peculiar smell, it is best to treat the tin cans you just bought in accordance with the above methods. After the possible peculiar smell in the tin cans is completely removed, it is safer to store the tea.

  Since we talked about storing tea in tin cans today, let's make a proper extension and talk about the issues that everyone is more concerned about: how to store Yorkshire tea in tin cans, can we use tin cans to directly store Yorkshire tea? The answer is yes-"Iron cans can hold Yorkshire tea."

  I know that ironware is often used in all aspects of tea making, such as an iron pot for tea frying and an iron shaker for shaking. Moreover, in daily life, many foods are packed in iron containers.

 Therefore, iron cans can also be used directly to store tea. However, it is best to choose tinplate cans or other food-grade cans when selecting materials.

.Tinplate cans are cold-rolled low-carbon thin steel plates or strips plated with commercial pure tin on both sides. Tin mainly plays a role in preventing corrosion and rust.

.Tinplate can ensure food hygiene, minimize the possibility of corruption, and effectively prevent health risks, so it is also the preferred material for Yorkshire tea tin.

In addition, in order to ensure the tightness of yorkshire tea tin, it is best to choose an iron can with a double-layer iron lid and fill the tea as much as possible.

Of course, some tea cans are not sealed well, or the material is not tinplate. In this case, it is not recommended to store the tea directly in the tin can. You can put the tea in a tin foil bag (or other food-grade bag), seal it, and then store it in an iron can. Now, many tea farmers or tea factories adopt this safer approach.

Finally, I need to remind everyone that if you store Yorkshire tea in tin cans, you have to follow other rules for storing tea: be sure to store Yorkshire tea tin in a cool place, not in direct sunlight or in a humid or hot place.
