Thankful this tea is back in my life! I was glad when Frank said he would reblend it if I purchased a pound. Well Happy Valentine’s Day to me! (LOL) I ordered the pound and it arrived yesterday! WOW this was the first time I ever got a pound of tea at one tea (at least of one particular kind- That’s a lot of tea!!! I am in tea heaven! Thanks again 52TEAS!!!!!!! You are wonderful!!!! I enjoyed a cup of this at work this am!

I usually just keep mine in the pouches frank sends them in too but this was just in one huge ziploc bag! Didn’t think it would be good to leave it in that….
Specialty Bottle has a 16oz tin at the bottom of this page: http://www.specialtybottle.com/index.asp?PageAction=Custom&ID=25 , maybe you could split it into a few of those for better storage? (or something similar?)
Thanks, I currently separated it into a bunch of different tins but was hoping to find a big one to hold all of it in one tin! Probably should just leave it in the couple tins I have it in. It is super delicious…just want it to stay fresh for awhile…even though I know I will probably drink it up quickly. I already took a stash of it into work :)
My advice would have been (sorry it stayed in my brain til now lol) is to keep the 2oz packages sealed and away from light and open them only as you need them. I go thru a lb of Tipu’s instant chai in 30-60days depending on how heavy handed I am (it’s usually pretty heavy though lol) and I go thru Frank’s chai in about 42 days.
Kristen, I would have divvied this up into individual pouches, but I actually ended up making more than a pound, and since it was already a bit late, I thought I would just get it out to you.
No problem Frank…it is yummy and I am sure I will go through it quickly anyway. I just put it in a bunch of different tins.
I buy chai by the pound all the time:)
How do you store it? I am looking for a tin/canister to store this pound of tea!
Just in the company packaging.

@ Cofftea just curious… How fast do you go through your pound of chai?

Actually I like one massive pouch. I wish Frank’s Chai would come that way.
