Why Choose To Use Tea Tins?

With the tea tins, we got 2 main sizes that we stock regularly. One is the 50g and the other one is the 200g.

Signature Square Tin 200g

Now, the grams that I just mentioned are very broad guideline because it really depends on;

1. Whether you going to put your tea in a bag first and then put it in the tin, that’s the tidier way to go and that’s how we typically pack them.But it means that you’re going to lose some space inside the tin;

2. Is what tea you’re actually putting in. When we say 50g, we’re actually talking about a very broad guideline of black tea that you can fit 50g.

If you’re fitting a chamomile, for example, it needs a lot of room and for the 200g tin; say for example, you will only fit about 100g of chamomile in it. It depends on whether you’re putting in a bag as well and whether your bag is really stiff, like the foil bags, or whether it’s very soft plastic bag, so, all that does, contributes to actually how much you can put in.

The other thing is that some people actually say, “look, tins are great, we are selling the tea with the tins or you are serving tea so you want to have, maybe in a cafe, some tea in a tin”, and people ask about it how to present a tea because you really don’t want to give the tin to your customers to smell each time, if that’s your stock.

So, what we suggest is a jar, a smelling jar, this jar we do sell is the clear plastic jar, that we call 20g (again that’s a rough guideline), and basically, you just have a little bit of tea in it that people that shake and smell and play with it, whatever that want to do, but this the play jar. It does not spoil your stock; you never know who’s going to have dirty fingers and give it a good stir or whatever. 🙂

So, this is a good way to actually let your customers explore your tea, especially if you have many clients, this is really good.

One of our customers actually has put together a little shelf with a lot of pigeonholes, little squares, and pop these in. And you’ve notice that I have actually got a label on the back, so that’s actually how we present it but of course you can put it in the front, it’s totally up to you.

Some of the plastic jars, they do have a problem with some of the essence that we use, like the lemon and earl grey. They are a little bit more acidic. Some jars, after a while, go yellow. We used to have that kind of plastic but this one is not.

This one, we have been using it for a really long time and it is still nice and clear. That’s a good idea to implement so people can explore your tea.

The other one that you might want to look at is the design of the lid. This 50g that we have has this design we “Edgeless” but the manufacturers call it the “plug-in lid”. Let me show you what they mean, so firstly it’s flushed, so it’s nice and smooth.

You can put a label on easily without any bumps and lid pops in. It gives it a pretty good seal and it’s not too difficult to open. While the typical design that you normally find, it has a ridge to it.

If you’re going to put a label on it, passing the ridge, though it’s not going to look that great but there is a good reason to do that and that is creating something like a secure seal so, if you’re actually selling the 200g tin of tea and you put a label pass the ridge, it is actually helping not to open the tin and play with the tea.

It might not be as secure as the plug-in lid but they typically quite good as well.

So there you have it about the tins, again we have:

1. 20g plastic jar – good for smelling or sampling tea 2. 50g edgeless square tin 3. 200g square tin
