Tea Caddies and Tins

Tea Caddies

 

  If you drink a lot of tea, tea storage is something to consider. A high-quality tea caddy is a part of the kitchen kit and a great way to          keep your favourite loose-leaf teas and teabags as fresh as possible. 

  Tea caddies quite simply protect your tea from moisture, sunlight and other odours, all of which will negatively impact the quality of      your tea. 

  We always recommend that our customers store tea in airtight tins to keep it at its best. Tea, alongside other foodstuffs, benefits from    being held in the dark, so non-transparent containers are perfect (sorry, jars!). Our range of metal and stainless-steel containers is            food- safe and can be used over and over again. In addition, and because not all tins are made equal, our caddies are made from              non-contaminated materials, so the only flavour in your cup will be the flavour of your tea.

Other ‘Must-Have’ Tea Accessories

Here at Cup of Tea, we have a fantastic range of high-quality tea accessories; filters, strainers, timers, spoons, sugar, mugs and cups, and much more! We like to make tea-brewing a pleasure rather than a chore, and we want every cup to taste as good as the last. 

We carefully select our tea accessories and choose only the highest quality, refraining from novelty. And because tea accessories can play an essential part in how you brew your tea, all of our reusable gadgets are beneficial. We are also passionate about teapots and have a stunning glass, porcelain, and cast-iron range to suit every taste.

Paradox Tea Timers

Paradox Tea Timer

 

  We will always use a tea timer to brew our tea, as timing is crucial to get the best out of the tea leaves. Leave a teabag or loose-leaf tea     to brew for too long could result in a filmy, bitter brew, so we always time our tea. 

  Our Paradox Timers are bright and eye-catching and fun, making them the perfect tea accessory in the kitchen. The range is available     in numerous colours, including blue, black, lime green, red, pink, orange and green.
