Would these tins work well for tea tins? http://www.specialtybottle.com/tinteatall6wsliplid.aspx
Do I need to get tins with a double seal instead? Or, would I be better off keeping the tea in the bags they come in rather than these? I could get several of these inexpensively & decorate them with nice labels myself, but I want to make sure the tea will stay fresh in them. Thanks!

Depends how fast you go through your tea, but I haven't noticed any loss of freshness from using tins.

Those look quite nice!

The main thing about storing tea is to keep it in a dark, cool, dry place.

I quite agree with #2 and #3. I have a lot of tea so I choose my tea tins for stackability. Twinings 100 g tins are my favourite for the moment.



The twinings tins stack very nicely, they seem to be quite airtight, they are easily opened and they are not ugly.

I hardly ever throw out a tea tin, so I have hundreds of them, many of which are not really very good.
The cylinder tea tins you are considering looks good, but would be a hazard in my kitchen since I currently stack some of them three high :-)

Thanks! I love the Twinings tins, but I don't have very many empty ones yet. I used to drink the Twinings teabags. I'm a recent loose leaf convert (since last year).

Thanks for posting the link. I've been looking all over for some and the price definitely seems to be right.
