I am an avid tea drinker, and could be considered a tea enthusiast. Recently I purchased some very high quality Japanese sencha (green tea), which is known for being a fragile tea. Sencha loses its flavor quite quickly in normal room-temperature conditions, so I decided to put all of the unopened packets in the refrigerator so that they last longer.
I have read about condensation forming inside of bags if they are abruptly taken out of the refrigerator, and this condensation can spoil the flavor of the tea. However I have only read about this happening with packets that have already been opened, and thus have fresh air inside of them. The packets I put in the fridge are sealed, though I am not sure if they are nitrogen sealed or not. They are not vacuum sealed.
When I take packets out of the fridge, I let them sit in my room at room temperature for around 24 hours in order to let them acclimate. I have only taken one out so far, and it was only a small packet containing 5g of sencha. I have other packets with 50g or 60g, which are the ones I am more worried about.
If there is any other info you need from me, let me know. I appreciate any help or advice you can give!
Thanks!
