How long is the shelf life of Da Hong Pao

Dahongpao is a type of oolong tea and is loved by many tea lovers. Dahongpao has relatively strong adsorption capacity, and the fragrance is gradually formed during the processing process, which often becomes unstable. Dahongpao is also relatively easy to dissipate or deteriorate during storage. Therefore, many things need to be paid attention to when storing Dahongpao. Of course, the shelf life of Dahongpao will be related to the storage status.

How long is the shelf life of Da Hong Pao?

Generally speaking, the shelf life of packaged Dahongpao is based on the date on the packaging, which is usually more than one year. If it is packaged tightly, it can be kept for up to 4 to 5 years. You don't have to be too particular about the storage method. Just seal it (the packaging material should be environmentally friendly and have no odor), then keep it away from light and put it in a place without odor. If Dahongpao is air-sealed, its shelf life is long, that is, it can be stored indefinitely under constant temperature conditions. The taste will be slightly different after one year, with a slightly lighter roasted flavor and a slightly higher mellowness.
