Ceramic Tea Canister

A ceramic tea canister with a sealed lid. Simple, opaque and airtight, which is everything tea actually needs and more than most tea gets — the caddy most people use is the cardboard box it was sold in.

Works equally for coffee. Ground coffee goes stale within days in an open bag; sealed away from air and light it keeps its aromatics considerably longer.

Why you'll love it

• Sealed and opaque — the two things stored tea needs.
• Keeps odours out — leaves won't pick up the cupboard.
• Glazed ceramic — wipes clean, holds no trace of the last contents.
• Tea or coffee — same requirements, same jar.

Details

• Material: glazed ceramic
• Ideal for: loose leaf tea, ground coffee, dried herbs

Give it a wipe out and a proper dry between different teas — a jar that held a smoked or scented tea will pass that on to the next thing in it.
