Store tea in an airtight container away from light, moisture, and strong odors to preserve its flavor and aroma. Keep it in a cool, dry place, such as a pantry or cupboard, at room temperature. Avoid storing tea in the refrigerator, as it can absorb moisture and odors. For loose-leaf tea, ensure the container is tightly sealed to maintain freshness for several months.
