Looking for a large tin to store loose leaf teas- 5 lbs+

Hello all! I am a frequent tea drinker and have been wanting to order a few pounds of my favorite teas in bulk to save on costs. I’ve read through past discussions on tea storage, but the storage tins don’t seem to accomodate over 1 lb and I am looking to order 5 pounds.

I would like to store the tea in metal tins like how they do in Wegmans loose-leaf tea aisle. For example, see the following photo: https://s3-media2.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/RF8Lv-3pVlw-yIy8pebtuw/o.jpg

Does anyone know where I can find these tins and what size I should be looking for?

Thanks in advance!

The biggest tins I know of are popcorn tins. Fully popped popcorn is sold in huge tins, more commonly at Christmas time. I see these tins in second hand stores all the time, and my son gets one from his grandma each holiday. I wash them out and use them to store raw tea and some tins I use only to store dry cat food which I buy in bulk.
