As is well known, since tea itself contains a variety of beneficial substances, such as nutrients and minerals, it provides many high-quality and natural antioxidants, and promotes the growth of probiotics in the intestinal tract, while inhibiting undesirable intestinal bacteria. Efficacy, thus drinking tea culture has been in human civilization for thousands of years, and is still growing more and more vigorously.

The substances in tea are generally affected by the influence of oxygen in the air, which in turn changes the taste. For the post-fermented Puer tea, in a proper storage environment, after a few years or decades of standing, the specific species in the tea will convert the original substance into a higher quality aged material, resulting in Very rare and fascinating old tea flavor, but for general non-fermented tea, such as green tea Longjing tea, moderately fermented oolong tea and Tieguanyin, heavily fermented black tea, or alpine tea, will be in the air with oxygen After the contact, the original flavor is gradually lost, and even an unpleasant odor is generated, and the nutrients or nutrients are destroyed and decomposed, and there is no value for drinking.

In the conventional technology, the most common means for solving the oxidative deterioration of tea leaves is to use vacuum packaging, that is, to first put the tea leaves into an airtight tea bag, such as an aluminum foil bag, and then evacuate it to extract it. Air, and then use the hot melt machine to heat the opening of the tea bag to partially melt the aluminum foil material, and after the aluminum foil material is cooled and sealed, the airtight sealing function can be achieved, thereby infiltrating the outside air and preventing the tea from coming into contact. Oxidation and deterioration of air.

Since the vacuuming and sealing technology of the tea makers is quite mature, the commercially available vacuum-packed tea leaves can easily be stored for more than two years or more.

However, the above-mentioned conventional technique has the disadvantage that when a vacuum package is opened and some tea leaves are still not consumed, the tea drinker can only use a simple clip to clamp the opening or re-open due to the lack of vacuuming equipment and a machine for heating the sealing. It is packed in a tea pot that is tightly packed, or a plastic bag, but it is difficult to achieve vacuum airtightness to block oxygen contact, so it can not inhibit the oxidation of tea leaves, so it will be a few days later.
