I forgot I had a bag of TenRen's green tea from Taiwan received as a gift
years ago. The bag was left unsealed for years. For about a month we started to make tea with it. The tea taste good but has a brownish color. Maybe it has fermented a little over time. Now I do not know if I should order the same green tea or a semi fermented one? |

i'd order the same, to see what it tastes like closer to fresh. But
TenRen also has some inexpensive oolongs. Toci wrote: > I forgot I had a bag of TenRen's green tea from Taiwan received as a gift > years ago. > The bag was left unsealed for years.

to keep your green tea fresh. you have to well seal and store it in the
frig. if the color becomes brownish color., it may be oolong tea , not Green tea. > wrote in message ... > I forgot I had a bag of TenRen's green tea from Taiwan received as a gift > years ago. > The bag was left unsealed for years.

Hello, I think *any* green leaf left to the air will oxidize. and that means darken. Have you never forgotten a green tea and found it quite dark when you finally rediscovered it months later? Anyway, forgotten green tea can teach you a lot, before you chuck it. Sealing your tea well is always a good idea, but there are mixed reports on the refrigeration issue, mostly because of moisture and condensation. Yet, many people do it with good results. I recommend drinking your finest green teas soon after acquiring them since they are delicate, and no matter how well you store them much will be quickly lost. For lesser breeds, longer is of course OK. Seal well, as OP says. Michael |

It won't have fermented on the shelf, but it will have lost a lot of the lighter elements that make for the more delicate flavours. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |
