Greetings, I have a few cakes/bricks on which the original wrapper has perished somewhat. Is there anything that I shouldn't be using as a replacement ?
I think I should use something porous of course, but should I avoid bleached and use something like acid free tissue paper (typically sold for wrapping gifts)?. What about clean kitchen paper towel ?
Some of these teas I intend keeping for a while.
Is there even somewhere I can buy the same type of paper ?
TIA
Cheers Mal Oz
Acid free, odor free tissue or wax paper will do. The paper isn't important so much as the storage conditions. I know of quite a few people that just have their tea sitting in a dark, dry place on top of nothing more than a small napkin or piece of wrapping paper and that seems to be fine.
I'd use cheesecloth over paper. I'd also consider cotton cloth and nylon. Maybe even silk. Those small pizza boxes are the perfect fit.
