Compost tea has live organisms in it, and these organisms cannot be stored,
or the tea will lose it's efficacy for many of the benefits I talk about.

Bottle active tea, and the bottle will blow up.

Put the tea to sleep, and while you lose species diversity, you can then
store it.

Many people mean worm compost EXTRACT and not true tea, when they SAY worm
tea.

TEA is brewed for a period of time. Extract is not. So you need to let me
know which you mean.
