Thank you for posting this site! I just ordered some tins and some of the latch tea tins for my girls to paint and decorate for Christmas gifts to family members! They have very reasonable prices.
I just placed my order. Thanks :)
Wow! I wanted to say thanks to Jacqueline for giving the reccomendation of the above website. I just got my order today, and the tins are awesome. Well packed, and high quality
My pleasure! I also like their bottles. I made a big vat of home made vanilla extract to give as gifts during the holiday season, and they had the perfect amber glass bottles for it.
Hey all, I did the a water rest to check the air tightness of the tins I got off speciality bottle… all of the tins I got sprung leaks when turned upsidw down. The screw tops, the 6 inch latched closed tin, and the 4 ounce small round tins. All of the lids feel as though they have a tight fit, but I am wondering if this eliminates them for long term storage. Anyone have ideas or experience?

Ps… perhaps im overthinking it a bit lol
I did water test for the screw top cans too. It seems that if I let the can sit inverted, it doesn’t leak. But if I hold the can inverted and shake it hard, it leaks drops of water. Since I only use it for short term casual storage of tea in office or at trips, I think that’s good enough.
Their tea canisters are probably very air tight. But the problem is, the lid is so tight that sometimes it’s hard to pull it off without spilling the tea :-p
Which tins are best for tea?
Latch top
Screw top
Twistlug (don’t even know what this is)
Sliptop
I’m assumingthat the slip top tins have the weakest seal… What does everyone think?
