Would this fit in one of the small office refrigerators? How long will tea stay fresh after you brew it?

I don't know about the fit since I haven't tried. I brewed some tea over the summer, never drinking it, tried it now in early October. It tasted just fine.

I have one of those little fridges and it fits on the shelf if you have it all the way down. Tea stays fresh for what seems to be a good week if not more (i let some go 4 weeks and then only noticed a slight distaste).

Yes, you can. You can put the brewed tea into this water dispenser container and store in the fridge.

We packaged ours into 1/4 cup measures into separate zip top baggies and froze them. We preheat our kettle and then drop in the frozen oil, and it works great. Less messy too. I imagine it will store at least a year in the freezer, but I couldn't say how long you could store it at room temperature. Here in Florida, I can't keep any solid shortening for more than 6 months before it becomes rancid. HTH! Sandra

I just measured the interior. It is 12" deep by 18" wide by 36" tall. Hope that helps. It is a very cold fridge and if it is on the coldest temp, the beer will freeze. Good luck. Kato

I use mine in a standard size porcelain mug all the time with no problems, even in a small-based tea cup. This is a great product- really easy to use and clean. If you use very finely cut teas and herbals it will allow some small particles through into your cup. I plan on getting another.

I thought the metal vacuum flask could be inserted into refrigerator, but it must be opened before replacing. Dont freeze the water inside it , doing so could affect the vacuum metal sheet and leaktightness would be bad. This product is good for doing tea by adding the tea bag in it and hot water. Waiting about one hour makes the tea delicious.

I haven't had any problems with the tea. It lasts for months, and months in it's sealed bags. We keep ours in airtight containers. Hope this helps.

You can get a few tea tins or use quart sized ziploc freezer bags. Fill them 2/3 way with tea and squeeze the air out as you are sealing the bag. Store them in the refrigerator. When you empty a tin, dump the refrigerated tea in it.

I would not say a loss of flavor. If you are concerned, you can always store tea in the freezer.

As long as the tea is the same consistency as ground coffee it will work just fine. Also, I bought the disposable paper filters to put in this unit because it seals a lot better when you screw the lid on!

It also fits in my Contigo travel mugs. Very easy to brew tea while you are getting ready for work.

I doubt that storage other than a cool and dark place like a pantry. One thing to take into account is that you don't want condensation or moisture when storing the leaves. A quick search brought me to this answer which seems to be the common tone from major tea distributors: "The best way to store tea is at room temperature in an airtight tea canister. Unlike coffee, you cannot wrap up tea and put it in the freezer. Tea will lose its flavor and scent quickly if stored in fancy, purely decorative tea containers or kept near a heat source, such as a stove or next to the toaster in your kitchen. - Teavana Website".

I make cold tea with it. I use 30 leaves and 4 cups of water, bring it to a boil, simmer it for 20 minutes. It sits for about 12 hours and then I remove the leaves (squeeze them dry) and refrigerate it. I drink a cup a day, cold.

I can't tell you from experience, but you should be able to use one of those reusable containers for the Keurig and have it work Ok. Again, I don't know, but, if it is unsatisfactory through the Keurig, Amazon has a stainless steel loose tea holder that works very well.

I store mine as I do good loose leaf tea, in a sealed airtight container at room temperature away from heat or direct sunlight. I hope this helps.

It should be safe, but im no expert. As long as you don't have mold, it's really more a matter of where you like the flavor to be. This changes with longer brew. Also, will you do a secondary brewing cycle with flavoring? Or just drinking it? My go to measurement (other than pH of 4 or below) is to try some! Sounds like you are on the fresh side for my tatse, but every set up will find its own rate... I personally like a 10-12 day original brew, with a couple days of secondary w/ flavoring, before i drink or refrigerate them. I have one now at 18 days in the jar ill be using as a substitute for vinegar in salad dressing and possibly meranade.

It's shelf stabile. I keep it in my box of brewing stuff. You could refrigerate if you'd like but there's really no need.
