8oz Teavana Tea Tin

I had a few of these tins at the time that I was having trouble with some kind of insect in my flour/similar goods. It involved a lot of throwing things out. I didn't worry about my Teavana tea in a nearby cupboard, because AIRSAFE TINS, RIGHT? I mean, that's what you're paying for, yeah?
Big mistake. I had to throw away an immensely expensive amount of tea because it had bugs eating it--and I know I hadn't even opened up some of the varieties, so there's no way they could have gotten in that way. I don't know how this happened, but you're definitely better off with the paper bags inside of ziploc bags--the bugs couldn't touch that.

These tins work pretty great. Except, I noticed some of my lids starting expanding making it difficult to put back on the container. I found this only happened to teas that had citrus fruits in them. My only gripe is they really should make their container hold any tea that you buy from them.

I almost spilled the tea out trying to get the lid off a few times, that's my only complaint. Otherwise I do like the container and the fact that it has the tea info listed for convenience.

This tin is just great. I got one of these with my first purchase of tea at Teavana and I can find almost no faults. I do sometimes have a little trouble opening it, but my overly-sweaty hands are at fault there, not the tin.
The tea instruction chart on the back is very helpful and the airtight seal keeps my sencha fresh and yummy.
Five little Buddhas!

Everythig is great about this product.

Actually, I would rate these tins 4.5 stars. I own a large, medium, and many small of these tins. This size is my favorite! I love a variety of teas and this size allows me to store my variety of teas separately without overloading my pantry with oversized tins. The only downside I can think of is that the lids are snug sometimes, however, they are air tight and probably should have a tight fit.

These are great tins! The only reason you would have a problem with the lids being too tight is if you put a fruity tea inside (it causes the tin to expand) especially if its a citrus tea. Also if your lid has always been too loose you may have a faulty tin they usually will replace them only 1 out of the 15 or so I have has ever been messed up.

I store my tea in these containers no matter what. I dont have time for cheap containers which break easily or are so easy to open that a child can easily open it. If the tea is not fresh, then its not tea.

I love the idea of the tin, however - the lid fits so tight I have to fight with it each time I want to make a cup of tea. It's also very hard to put back together......I need the tea for soothing each time I pick up the tin......
