How to preserve black tea so as not to waste it? Preservation method: Black tea needs to be stored in a ventilated, dry and odor-free environment. If the tea leaves get damp due to improper storage, the following methods can be used to deal with it. However, if black mold, green mold or gray mold appears, do not drink it, as it means the tea has become moldy.

If black tea is not stored properly, it is very likely to become moldy. Keeping it ventilated and dry is the most important thing when collecting and storing black tea. Because black tea is deeply fermented (fully fermented tea), it requires a certain humidity to accelerate aging. If the humidity is too high for too long and the tea becomes moldy and grows white hair, you should take it out in time and put it in a ventilated and dry place. You can also dehumidify (turn on the air conditioner) or dry it in the sun. The moldy hair will naturally disappear after a few days. If the white hair is serious, you can use a brush, towel or other soft textiles to remove the white hair on the surface, and then use a heating appliance such as a hair dryer to heat it for more than ten minutes. But if it is black mold, green mold, or gray mold, it is bad tea.

Due to the fermentation characteristics of black tea, if it is not properly stored and protected from moisture, white mold will grow on the surface of the tea. This will not affect the quality or the taste of the black tea in the early stages, so there is no need to worry too much. What's more, the fermentation principle of black tea is that it can produce bacteria that are beneficial to the human body (commonly known as golden flowers, scientific name "Ectocystis cristatum"), which can ferment. After removing the white hair on the surface of the black tea, it can be drunk after being stored in a ventilated place for a few days. However, if the mold is not dealt with in time, it will become too moldy and black, green or gray mold will appear and it cannot be drunk.

We should not continue to drink the tea we drink every day until the next day, as this may cause diarrhea. Do not continue to drink the tea if it is cold. Drinking tea properly every day has certain benefits for the body.
