What is "fresh tea"

PDF Print E-mail

Tea is a very fragile product. Even the top quality teas could deteriorate rapidly when exposed to light, high temperature, moisture and foreign odor. Once the tea quality is diminished, it is truly not worth while drinking.

Some downfalls of the teas on the current market:

  • Tea bags. Made of low quality tea dust to the effect that it is hard to distinguish whether it is fresh or not.
  • Loose leaf tea. Most of the packaged loose leaf teas currently on the market are not adequately packaged in air tight bags or containers. The teas are continuously exposed to moisture in the air, high temperature and odors from surrounding products.

At Valley Green Tea, we only import teas that are seasonally produced. We use the latest techniques for storing high quality loose leaf teas - vacuum seal, refrigeration and small satchel packaging. The small satchel packaging (10-25g) allows teas to be consumed gradually without affecting the quality of satchels that remain sealed. We also air transported the teas to Australia to minimize the time out of refrigerated storage.
