Where do you store your tea bags?

house_cat — Thu, 15 Jul 2021 01:16:20 GMT

In my previous kitchen, I had a large, shallow drawer dedicated for all my boxes of various tea bags. In my new kitchen, I don't have a drawer available. I'm curious how other tea drinkers store their teas.

I'd love some clever ideas.

Thank you.

Do you have a spot in a cubboard or on a pantry shelf? The dollar store has various sizes of bins, etc.

@ThinkingOutLoud

I have more bins and boxes than any human should have, but none of them really suit this situation. I drink tea several times a day and have many varieties. I'd like them to be organized and easy to grab when the mood strikes. I see lots of tea boxes on Pinterest. I really don't want to buy another box, but I'm tempted.

ok - If you have a pantry door, get a clear over-the-door shoe bag (they're not very expensive). Take the teas out of the boxes and put each flavor in it's own pouch/pocket. They would be organized and easy to grab.

I use my teabags every day, so I keep them handy. I have a small cart in the kitchen with spices and 2 Lock&Lock containers, one for tea and one for stevia packets. They are flip top containers for easy access.

DH is the tea drinker. I store the tea bags in the box they came in.I keep the box in the pantry next to the honey, Splenda & coffee pods.

Glass jars in a cabinet now... I have at times kept some tea bags in the fridge.

Mine are all out of their boxes.

Stored as teabags in zip lock type clear bags now, stowed in a box by order of "Best by" date. They're in a cupboard dedicated to dry goods; pasta, jello, wild rice...

Bonus, they take up a lot less space without the boxes.

I have a big ceramic biscotti jar. I'm thinking of moving the bags of teabags into there.

@house_cat I have a big blown glass jar that I purchased at Home Goods that I store all my tea bags.

All different types and flavors, and storing them together doesn't seem to affect them at all.

I send for loose tea from Upton and store them in the bag they arrive in a bin.

I keep mine on the counter in a ceramic antique tea pot - it belonged to my great grandmother.

@CAcableGirl2

I've thought of storing them all in a large glass jar, but I'm afraid the flavors will blend together. Are you saying you haven't noticed that happening?

I have an entire cupboard (and then some) dedicated to tea in their original tins, boxes, loose tea that comes in their original bags, along with tea pots.

I used to store tea (in their tea bag packets) in glass canisters. They look nice in there. However, I'd rather keep everything seperate, with no chance of mixing flavors.

My niece does that and they all start to take on the flavor of everything else in the container. I bring my own now when we go to her house.
