Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this tea caddy dishwasher safe?

No, this caddy should be hand washed only to preserve the finish and material integrity.

Does it provide an airtight seal?

It features a tight-fitting domed lid that is effective at keeping moisture out, though it is not technically vacuum-sealed.

Can it be used to store coffee beans?

While it can store coffee, please note that coffee oils may linger in the tin and affect the flavor of future tea stored inside.

What are the exact dimensions?

The caddy measures 10.5cm x 11cm x 14cm.

Is the design printed on the tin or is it a sticker?

The design is printed directly onto the tinware for a long-lasting, smooth finish.

Will this rust if kept near the stove?

Tin is generally durable, but excessive heat and steam can lead to moisture buildup. It is best stored in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources.

Troubleshooting

Lid is difficult to remove

Apply gentle upward pressure while slightly rotating the lid to break the airtight seal.

Appearance of rust spots inside

Ensure the interior is completely dried after cleaning; avoid leaving moisture trapped inside.

Lid feels too loose

Check for any debris along the rim of the tin or the lid's edge that may be preventing a proper seal.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Charming and nostalgic decorative aesthetic
  • Effective at maintaining tea freshness with its tight-fitting lid
  • Compact footprint saves valuable kitchen counter space
  • Versatile storage for both loose leaf and bagged tea

Cons

  • Not dishwasher safe

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up your tea caddy is simple: ensure the interior is completely dry before adding your tea. Because the caddy is made of tin, it is important to avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the illustrated surface.

Care Instructions:

  1. Wipe the exterior with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove dust.
  2. For the interior, hand wash with mild soap and warm water if changing tea varieties.
  3. Dry thoroughly immediately after washing to prevent rust or moisture buildup.
  4. Avoid submerging the entire tin in water to maintain the integrity of the seams.
