heavytweedjacket:(HTJ Archives) Tea Tins. I enjoy a good cup of tea. The trouble is that I’ve always had the habit of saving tea tins. Obviously they can be used to store tea, and though they can also store nails and screws on the workbench, they can also just occupy prime shelf space. Tins that have the double seal of an inner lid work best for keeping loose tea fresh. Paper boxes and packaging just aren’t the same. Maybe it’s the regional and seasonal designs that make these humble tins interesting. Though I’ve purged a lot of these tins, tins from Ireland, England, Scotland, Canada, Hong Kong, and India are colorful reminders of how beloved this daily and global drink truly is. -- source link
