      Every country might have different regulations, but as far as we know there’s no special requirements regarding storage from a legal perspective. But it’s important to follow the storage instructions from your supplier. Storage should be important to you as well, because it’s a key to success to ship fresh tea to your customer.

    What an informative guide! Just remember that there are a number of factors to consider when buying wholesale tea. Apart from the quality, you also have to focus on how the leaves were sourced and even how they are packaged. Such information is more important than ever to consumers.
