Porcelain Tea Tins Canister set with Airtight Lids Home Kitchen Canisters for Tea Coffee Sugar Storage Loose Leaf Tea Tin Containers storage (Green Tea Canisters- 2PC)

I had a Tightvac which served for only a year before it failed, this was purchased as a replacement because I needed something to store tea in a low oxygen environment. These two canisters are more on the substantial side rather than light (and that is much better against air pressure cracks where Tightvacs break). The material is all meta, and the caps screw on and off rather tightly. The canisters probably can hold two to six ounces of tea depending on how tightly packed (so more than enough for a couple of days if drinking at every opportunity). The screw top also does not leak material, and they can be cleaned with a standard bottle brush.

I like these. The metal is formed smoothly (or is it a sintered piece?). Point is, no edges that I can see and the lids screw onto the tin very nicely. I saw some questions about their capacities so I thought I would document for posterity:I filled water up to the internal threads (for the lid) and came up with 138g of water aka 138cc aka ~1/4cup. You could fit a little more in since the lid itself is hollow but this should give some guidance as to the size.

I like these tea cannisters, but I"m not exactly sure how they measured this because it's a bit off. It seems they took they space where the lid closes as part of the dimensions, but you can't even fill the container to that level when it's open because it's too small and the tea falls out over the side. That's my only qualm about this product. Besides that, I like that it's compact, it closes tight, great for travel. On the outside of the container, I put a little sticker, and it sticks well to the container.

I wanted to be able to drink loose leaf tea at my office but ever since Teavana essentially shut down I haven't looked for tea storage. These tea tins ended up being exactly what I wanted. They are well made, good finish (I washed with hot water and dish soap -- the finished remained perfect), very durable and look great. I plan on buying another set to have even more tea on hand!

Threaded lid is easy to open, and it seems air tight.But align the thread to close the lid is not smooth.

We use these for loose tea we buy in foil packets. Once the packet is open, we transfer it to the tin. The only thing I would have liked better is if they came with labels, but I just cut the label off the foil packet and taped it on to the tin. The metal is very smooth, and the lids open easily. Very pleased with these.

So. I got these for a favor for a wedding gift box we were doing with a tea theme. I really liked them. They were small and compact but looked durable. I am not sure how moistureproof they are because I did not test that. But for the most part. I am really happy with this purchase

One of the two 7.3oz canisters has several gouges both inside and out. I am returning for replacement hoping the next ones come in better conditions.Also note, there is NO rubber gasket or ring on these, pure metal on metal threads to seal.Update: replacement canisters also had internal damage and metal flaking off.
