Is there a difference in storing dried flowers and fresh flower?

Storage methods for fresh and dried flowers:

Fresh flowers: These are Scented teas that contain flower buds. They need to be stored in the refrigerator at a temperature around zero degrees Celsius. For example, Chrysanthemum.

 

Dried flowers: These are Scented teas that do not contain flower buds. Generally, they can be stored for six months to one year, using the same storage methods as other types of tea.

 

Keep in mind that tea leaves should not be directly exposed by long duration of direct sunlight, and they should not be exposed to air or strong odor. After each use, Scented tea should be properly stored. By following these methods, Scented tea can be stored for over a year.
