People who’re serious about their loose-leaf tea should also educate about the growing process of the tea, as it can inform about the best times to buy tea. For instance, some teas are gathered in spring, if you buy them in winter, you can be sure you’re getting tea that’s at least half a year old. Some teas, like matcha can lose their freshness very quickly, so half a year may be fine for some teas, but mean “expired” for others.

Hope you are having a good spring!

Glad you find it useful! That’s a great question. I usually have success with baking soda. I clean it with a bit of baking soda and water and it’s good to go. For stronger odours though, I let the baking soda sit in the tea tin longer.

Do you have tips on eliminating orders in tea canisters? For example, eliminating the lovely bergamot scent in a canister that had Earl Grey because you need the canister for pure tea or a completely different blended tea? I have tried using baking powder, but I have had limited success. TIA !
