- 1). Wrap the green tea leaves in two tight layers of plastic wrap even if still sealed in their original packaging. The plastic wrap guards the leaves against moisture while in the freezer.
- 2). Slide the wrapped green tea leaves into a freezer-safe container with a tight-fitting lid. Use a container that is just big enough for the tea to keep the leaves from growing stale.
- 3). Place the tea leaves in a secure spot in the freezer, away from anything that might put off an odor like herbs. Put the tea in a spot where it won't become deeply frozen, such as a shelf in the door.
- 4). Consume the tea within a couple of months of freezing. Brew tea from the frozen leaves without defrosting them first. When freezing green tea, remember that the longer it is in storage, the less fresh it will taste.
- 5). Discard green tea leaves that appear soaked, moldy, overly dry or discolored.
