| I have a lot of teas, some are celestial seasonings, which come in unlabeled bags, other are Bigelow, which are individually packaged with labeling. Is there a good solution for storing these like or am I relegated to keeping them packaged in their grocery boxes. I have so many and I want to get them down so that we can always see them when we open up one location. Does a solution to my request even exist? |

I need a storage solution for this too. I've had these in my cart for a while now, but I'm still deciding. I like that they are stackable; we have a lot of tea.

I have these in my cart too! The reason I haven’t bought it is how am I supposed to know what is a celestial seasonings lemon zinger versus the mandarin orange versus chai? Used painters tape or chalk? I’m trying to brainstorm here. I have a lot of tea. |

You could cut out part of the box that has the name of the tea and make a card out of it to stick in front of the bags in that section and throw the rest of the box out |

I don’t know of a solution that lets you store teas that come with wrappers and teas that don’t.
For our tea in packages, we use this box: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F7NXNNJ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share For tea without individual packaging, I take it out of the box and store them all in a 16oz mason jar that I labeled with a label maker. But I only keep two teas that come this way. The tea box and the mason jars are stored on the same shelf. And then there’s the loose leaf tea, which is stored in an repurposed shoe box. Basically, there are no good solutions… |

| If you usually guy the same flavors of the celestial seasonings teas, just use a label maker on the linked box. |

| Op here and I appreciate all of your suggestions. We are a house of tea drinkers, including my kids, and these solutions are welcomed. |

| I bought small tins and I put a label on the outside for what is inside. I primarily drink loose leaf tea, but this would work for unlabeled tea bags as well. |

| I drink loose tea but it would work for tea bags as well - I use mason jars and label the outside with a wet erase marker and keep them on a lazy susan in my pantry. When the tea runs out I run the jar through the dishwasher - keeps everything clean and the label gets washed away for the next use. |

Updating my thread. I bought these and I’m very happy with them. I like that they stack, and they were able to hold many boxes and my tea cabinet looks so much better and the cluttered. Twinnings and Bigelow tea are snug fit. I ended up not moving my celestial seasoning tees into the boxes because I didn’t want them to lose flavor. My goal was to declutter and have a better looking cabinet so moving them into mason jars would have taken more space. By removing the Bigelow and twinning‘s tees, I now have more space for the Celestial Seasonings and the cabinet looks much better. Thanks for everybody’s input and I recommend that product if you want to tidy up your tea bags! |

Use tins or glass containers. No plastic.
