Is it better to buy tea bags or loose tea?

Tea bags and loose tea offer varying benefits. Tea bags create less mess than loose tea, and you'll likely see less sediment at the bottom of the cup. But loose tea leaves are larger, which can offer more tea flavor, and they tend to stay fresh longer than the tea in tea bags. Loose tea is also more earth-friendly than tea bags, because it adds less trash to landfills.

What is the proper way to store Darjeeling tea?

To protect the aromatics and flavor in Darjeeling tea, store it in a cool, dark, and dry place like a cupboard or pantry in a sealed container. Darjeeling tea typically lasts about two years from date of harvest, so check the use-by date on the package for reference.
