Decaf tea is a great addition to the tea caddy, especially at those times when you do not necessarily want a pick me up, but just a great tasting cup of tea. In fact, having tea often means the very opposite - taking a few minutes to relax, clear your mind and let the cares of the day flow away. A cup of decaffeinated tea can fit the bill very nicely.

Rather than pick up ordinary tea from the local supermarket, you have gone to great lengths to track down fine fresh teas that, like any agricultural product, will go stale if it is not stored correctly. In fact, finer teas often contain fewer or no artificial preservatives and can decay the quickest. However, keeping your tea stored properly can keep it fresh for as long as a year.

No matter whether you prefer teabags, loose leaf tea or maybe enjoy both, you need to be able to keep that fine tea that you searched so hard for in tip-top condition.
