Looking for a nice container

Very nice Yixing containers can be found on Taobao.

Any reqirements about the shape and capacity?

I buy my tins at thrift stores usually. Teavana and David’s tea have interesting tins sometimes too, but Teavana is usually too pricey for my tastes.

Lately, I’ve been seeing porcelain jars with wooden tops.

The Tins used by Simpson and Vail are simple but very nice. When you buy the tea in the tin it comes already in the tin with a nice label on the tin. Their tins are nicer than those at David’s Tea. When you buy online from Davids Tea you do get a free tin with a 4oz purchase but you have to put it in the tin yourself.
