With tea bags I just keep them in the box they were bought in.:) hodgepodge 04-11-2009, 22:16 Mine is an Emma Bridgewater designer tin caddy....posh or what? mh01 04-11-2009, 22:18 i keep the teabags in me socks then i know no-one will use all the teabags:) Waltheof 16-11-2009, 17:08 An old tin with a lid--on principle, would never use a container that said "Tea" on it! medusa 16-11-2009, 18:02 For one of my tea caddies I've got a beautiful Chinese cast and turned pewter caddy which has 2 sealed lids to keep the tea fresh- it's a complete work of art and a seriously good piece of engineering. One of my friends brought it back from Hong Kong for me. I'm a bit of a tea addict and have half a dozen other tea caddies for different sort of tea, which range from Twinings tins to assorted pottery jars, including one which my mum and dad got as part of a wedding present 44 years ago. They're all deliberately mismatched, as are the 103 plates all over my kitchen walls. jongo 16-11-2009, 18:27 We have one of these ( http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2383/2196100173_5dc0850d54.jpg?v=0) on the kitchen wall. :thumbsup: Perfectly measured every time... chimay 16-11-2009, 19:08 I just use teabags and keep them in the box they come in. I have got a couple of Yorkshire Tea tins but they are too nice to use so I have them as ornaments. jongo 16-11-2009, 19:22 I just use teabags and keep them in the box they come in.
