The core consumer value of loose tea (such as Longjing and Biluochun) lies in its fresh aroma and pure taste. Maintaining these two values hinges on preventing aroma evaporation and moisture intrusion. From the single perspective of aroma retention and moisture protection, tin ties are an indispensable core component of loose tea packaging. Their absence directly leads to rapid deterioration of tea quality, resulting in the loss of its core drinking value.
Loose tea contains abundant volatile oils, the source of its unique aroma, which are highly volatile. Simultaneously, tea has a strong hygroscopic nature; once it absorbs moisture, it not only accelerates aroma loss but also fosters mold growth, causing the tea to become cloudy and astringent. In packaging scenarios without tin ties, even using packaging materials such as kraft paper and composite paper bags only achieves basic wrapping and cannot form a durable airtight barrier. When loose-leaf tea is opened, the sealing structure of the packaging is damaged, causing the volatile oils in the tea to escape rapidly, resulting in the loss of its fresh aroma and flavor within 1-2 days. Simultaneously, moisture from the environment quickly penetrates the bag, increasing the tea's moisture content. Under normal temperature storage conditions, slight mold may appear within 3-5 days, causing the tea's flavor to change from fresh and crisp to bland and bitter, significantly lowering its original quality.
More importantly, loose-leaf tea is often consumed in small, frequent portions. The lack of a tin tie means that an effective secondary seal cannot be achieved. After each use, the remaining tea is exposed to air and moisture for an extended period, with aroma continuously evaporating and moisture being absorbed, accelerating quality deterioration. Professional tin ties, thanks to the strong sealing properties of metal, precisely adhere to the bag opening after the initial sealing and subsequent openings and closings, creating a stable seal that effectively prevents aroma loss and moisture intrusion. This extends the shelf life of the loose-leaf tea's fresh aroma and pure taste, preserving its original quality to the greatest extent possible.
