Storage product education.
What a Jar Can Do
A jar or storage container can protect tea from household odor, light, and handling damage. It does not turn poor tea into good tea.
Cake and Loose Storage
Loose tea needs more containment because it has more exposed surface area. Cakes still need protection, even when wrapped.
