This is the tea I use. Like Coffee needs to be stored in freezer, are there any storage restrictions for loose tea leaves also?

Tea needs to be kept away from heat, light, air, and moisture. The best way to store tea is at room temperature in an opaque, airtight container.
Your container should not be plastic, because odors from previous uses (even if its only been used solely for tea) could contaminate your current tea.
Do not store tea in the freezer or refrigerator. Opening and closing of the door causes rapid humidity changes that cause moisture to seep into the container and degrade the flavor of the tea.

Personally, I would go for one with a twist or latching cover rather than a slip cover, just to ensure that it's airtight.
