And swelter is not exactly sweet news for tea\u2014our favorite botanical prefers cool temperatures. Heat can degrade its quality. As many of you have air conditioning, however, that may not be a problem. And either way, Colorado evenings are cool, and the heat waves don\u2019t normally persist for long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bigger threat to your tea quality? Light and air.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Light accelerates the breakdown of chlorophyll and catechins, both of which are largely responsible for much of <em>Camellia sinensis<\/em>\u2019s flavor and health benefits. Tea that has been degraded due to light turns dull in color and might develop \u201coff\u201d flavors\u2014papery, flat, hay-like. Light also flattens the volatile aromatic compounds that make tea such a pleasure to brew. Those heady perfumes that rise in steam? Light can diminish them quite a bit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oxygen is vital for tea production\u2014it is a key factor in determining whether a tea is green, white, oolong, black or pu-erh. Tea farmers control the amount of oxygen that gets introduced to tea leaves\u2014the most for black, the least for green. After that, it is important for tea consumers to protect tea from additional oxygen, as it can dull flavors and aromas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ku Cha&#8217;s Japanese tea tins are meant for your kitchen<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ku Cha House of Tea\u2019s standard sacks do a wonderful job preserving freshness\u2014they block light, and mitigate the introduction of oxygen.
