Think all green tea lovers and dealers grap...Petr,<br /><br />Think all green tea lovers and dealers grapple with this problem of freshness. The best solution to this problem is to only open one bag/box of tea at a time and buy only enough green tea that you could finish drinking in the summer.<br /><br />Think the device that the Japanese man used was a houroku. See here:<br /><br />http://www.obubutea.com/catalog/standard/teaware/houroku/<br /><br />Hahahaha... yes of course using another identical tea jar would be best... good advice from a potter. Don't have another identical tea jar but perhaps using different containers would also yield interesting results... using a ziplock bag was only an example.<br /><br />Thanks Petr,<br /><br />PeaceMatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02736984697520031171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693176331381554957.post-39422550013106535572012-06-12T22:55:48.047-07:002012-06-12T22:55:48.047-07:00Nice experiment! I have always problem that greens...Nice experiment! I have always problem that greens are getting older faster than I drink them- you give me an idea what I can do about it:) Few years back, I was on tea presentation- workshop of one Japanese tea master who started the event with roasting sencha in small ceramic roaster (with candle under kind of cup). His helper was working on it for an hour and then he prepared the fresh "hohicha" for us. It was pretty tasty. He told us that what he do with old greens and then drink it during or after meal...<br /><br />Instead of ziplock bag I would recommend two similar jars- one sealed. <br /><br />Like you writing!<br />Best<br />PetrPetr Novákhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11517473309667122386noreply@blogger.com
