What is the best way to store oolong tea samples?

What is the best way to store oolong tea samples? I don't want my babies to go bad, but I also want some nice and simple way to store them too :P. Most of the ones I have are packets that are resealable.

Re: What Oolong Are You Drinking

New oolong drinker here, I have procured a haul of some nice samples and currently drinking a Dan Cong oolong called Old Grove Honey Orchid and one I don't know the type called Buddha's Hand.
