Why is tea in a round can?
Most gift teas come in round cans.
So, this time, I will explain why tea is in a round can.
▼ Why tea is in a can
There is a reason why tea is in the can.
■ Japan's climate and its impact on tea leaves
The area of Japan's land, excluding Hokkaido and Tohoku, belongs to the temperate zone, and is further classified into a temperate humid climate.
There are four seasons, and the climate is always humid due to the rainy season, the rainy season, the autumn rain front, and typhoons.
Tea leaves cultivated in Japan are vulnerable to humidity, and if they are placed in a humid place, their flavor will be significantly impaired.
The humid climate of Japan is the reason for the great damage to tea leaves.
■ Moisture-resistant container can
Tea leaves are contained in cans because they are the most resistant to moisture among various containers.
The can is very tightly sealed and does not even allow air to pass through.
Since moist air does not enter, the tea leaves inside do not get damp and can be kept dry at all times.
■ Why are there so many round cans?
There are various shapes of cans, but the one that contains tea is overwhelmingly round.
This is because round cans are strong against impact and are not easily deformed even if dropped accidentally.
For example, a square can often deforms and creates a gap between the can body and the lid, but a round can rolls around and will not deform unless there is a great deal of trouble.
By the way, tea leaves are vulnerable to light, but cans also have excellent light-shielding properties.
It can be said that cans play a very important role in maintaining the condition of tea leaves.
▼ Summary
The tea is in a round can because it blocks the moisture so that the flavor of the tea leaves is not compromised.
Round cans are not easily deformed when dropped and there are no gaps, so it is the best container for tea leaves.
