Teas in Tins
Teas packed in tins. These are the items that fit our gift boxes, which hold either two tins or three.
A tin blocks light and seals well, which makes it good for storing tea. Flavor is lost to light, oxygen and moisture, so the surest thing after opening is to keep the tea in its tin. The tin is also ready to hand over as a gift as it is.
